Creating Infographics

Using Canva

Several of my students really enjoy creating infographics for projects in Science and Social Studies that impart information in a creative way.

Using Canva

Students have used both Canva and Google Slides for these infographics. Canva has several templates that are available free to use, Google Slides is a way to create exactly what you want (including the size) without being tied into a template. Both work very well.

Using Google Slides

I love that each student has created an informative, visual representation of facts. These projects have all started out with research and because of the finite nature of the infographics, they have had to learn to prioritize what information is most important. A great skill to have! 

World Debt Clock Hyperdoc

I have done some form of this activity with several of my students and they have learned a lot about the debt in other countries as well as in Canada! We have explored the student's own solutions for the debt problem and extended this to a compare and contrast project of two or more countries culminating with an infographic. 

This gives Grade 9+ students the opportunity to work with real world statistics and do some critical thinking and research to extend those statistics into real world solutions. This activity encourages critical and creative thinking as well as statistical analysis. 

Here is the World Debt Clock Hyperdoc. It is in a Google Slides format but you can easily download as a PDF if you prefer.
