Assignment: Infographic
Uses in the Classroom: This is a useful tool when concluding a unit, working with students with reading difficulties, or preparing for tests. When concluding a unit, you can use it to define concepts, identify similarities between concepts, or summarize the different strategies that can be used. For example, when working on finding the Greatest Common Factor, students or teachers can make an infographic that define GCF, outline the steps for different strategies such as factor trees, intersection of sets, division by primes and show examples for each strategy. Such an infographic can be very useful for students who have difficulties writing good math notes, those who have problems reading and processing words. It can also be used to study for exams. A student created infographic is an excellent culminating activity at the end of a unit that can be used later during the year and beyond.

Issues to Consider: It can be time consuming or frustrating if students are
creating an infographic using a tool that does not have an equation editor
because that will require them to make all their equations separately and
upload them. Currently, when using the equation editor on most macs, it freezes
the computer or shuts it unexpectedly and quite often.
