In my first Independent Learning Project, I chose to complete the design element. I had to use a strategy to create educational content, and I actually really enjoyed the creative process! I decided to make an infographic as my educational content, and I used a site called piktochart.com. This website helped me easily design my content, even though I didn't even use one of their templates! There were many different graphics I could use (even though I had to upload a few from google images to use as well). I decided to create an infographic for a second grade science class. I used content based on our solar system, so I utilized graphics for each of the eight planets and placed them in order on my infographic. I then placed arrows to the other side of the infographic, which led to information and fun facts about each of the planets or sun. I then had to make a voice thread, consisting of five PowerPoint slides as a presentation. I talked about each of the aspects of an infographic, how an infographic can be used for educational purposes, and how I created my infographic. Overall, I really enjoyed the process of this Independent Learning Project, and I am excited for others to see what I have designed!

Hi Alyssa!! I loved your ILP on Infographics and I also learned the importance of design in the educational form. Your voice thread was easy to follow and your design for the solar system was epic. I like how the video about the solar system is readily accessible to learn more about it. I did the practice ILP, so this helps me visualize how the project will be. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love your infographic! the font you chose for the planets is looks very clean and interesting. It is smart to place the video at the bottom after your infographic because we can get a sense of what we are going to see in the video and start thinking about it even before we start watching!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is wonderful, Alyssa! I really love how beautiful your infographic is. It is very detailed, colorful and interesting. I also like how you included a video, which can be really helpful for understanding in the classroom. I also really love how nice the planets look and the fun facts alongside them. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI used Piktochart to make an infographic too! That's so cool that we used the same source but our infographics looked so different. I loved the layout of yours, it was so colorful and it definitely fits a second grade science class. I loved that you added a video to your infographic. I think you did a great job explaining what an infographic is and why it's useful.
ReplyDeleteI loved your infographic, it was very detailed and colorful.
