Infographics and wikiHow

In our last project we'll experiment with different tools for sharing information.

1. Google "infographics" (-> check "pictures")

2. Visit Canva.com and try out some of their challenges

3. Visit wikiHow

4. Have a look at one of their articles about predicting the weather

5. Take their Tour

Interactive Whiteboard Software

In our class tomorrow we'll start working on INFOGRAPHICS but some of you have asked me about whiteboards.

I have yet to confirm which soft is going to be compatible with our boards at IJO, but you can check out the links below:

A blog by a teacher from WA (doh! :) ) on teacher-assisting technologies - THE INTERACTIVE CLASSROOM

65 FREE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD RESOURCES - if you are more interested in using the board, not writing your own exercises

SANKORE - an open-source platform, which everybody in the know seems to be recommending.

Our first project is ready :)

Infographic tools

Five Good Online Tools for Creating Infographics

10 free tools for creating infographics

So far my favourite one is Canva.com - think Glogster on steroids ;)
It requires registration and has a library with commercial pictures. But you can use its free tools to make a successful infographic.
