PiktoChart promises to allow you to create a great looking in just 30 minutes. So I gave it a shot, I created this in about 5. Considering I didn't use any factual statistical data, I'd say a real one could definitely be created in less then 30 minutes.
The key to creating successful infographics in a real understanding of the underlying data. Students must gather the information and then analyze the data and finally create a visual representation of the data the helps the reader understand the information presented. This process really promotes the higher order thinking skills.
Students can create great infographics at any level K-12 and in any curriculum. Here are just a few examples.
Math: Since infographics are all about visualizing data, there are countless uses in the math classroom.
Social Studies: Create an infographic comparing and contrasting any two events in history, or the political parties, or social eras.
Science: Students who are climate change can create infographics to represent the current trends.
Elementary: As a get to know the class activity students can survey classmates about things they like and do and then represent that information on an infographic.
Language Arts: Character studies are a great way to use infographics.
These are just a few ways that infographics can be used in the classroom, the possibilites are limitless.
Here is a great video on using infographics as a creative assessment. This video uses several other tools to create infographics, but with PiktoChart you can really save time on the creation side of the activity.
