Infographics

Infographics are a great tool to use within the classroom.  They are way for visual learners to make an understanding of a complex idea and be able to incorporate that knowledge to help learn other concepts.  They help students who learn visually and for all students to develop the ability to see patterns and sequence in their learning and understanding.  One of my favorite infographics  that i have recently found is about education and statistics.

 This infographic is quite an interesting read and represents pictures and statistics of our global school population.  For example, this infographic states that there are

• 1.4 billion students on Earth
• 3.2 million public schools teachers (and a few more in just under two months!!:) )

This infograph also involves some post secondary education which ultimately stems back from secondary education.  

Infographics is a great visual tool to help learners fully understand the content you want to get across to them.  Relating words (stats in this example) to pictures is a great way to teach and help with comprehension.
