We have no shortage of tools and articles for how to generate an infographic, but the most important steps happen before you open a tool- identifying your audience, the topic, researching and tracking the data you will use, and planning out the best ways to visualize the information.

Have a look at an infographic about creating an infographic! From Visme’s How to Create an Infographic: The Ultimate Guide

The 9 steps of creating an infographic.

To Do:

  1. Experiment by creating an infographic to present data behind or as an explanation of an important concept in your discipline. Recommended tools include Piktochart, Canva, Adobe Express (formerly Spark) or other Infographic Tools in the EdTech Sandbox.
  2. Include a link to your activity as your response for this activity.
  3. After you make your submission, save the web address to your response (found in the green confirmation box) so you can use it later for your badge submission form. 

This activity is part of the Let’s Experiment section of the Experimenter Module.

  • INFORMATION AS A GRAPHIC
    by Cindy Cheung (@CCheung)

    I had a lot of fun learning how to navigate Adobe Sparks and creating an infographic in general staining methodologies.  It’s a great way to convey content through visual graphics.  I especially like how the displayed information is conveyed quickly and clearly through visual representation.  I will definitely be including this creation in my lesson.
