Title: Presenting....Digital Citizenship through Infographics
Digital Tool/Resource: Piktochart
Web Address – URL:
Overview: Piktochart is one of many programs that makes it easy for teachers to integrate literacy and technology standards into any lesson. Visual learners love the way that infographics seem to make data easier to digest. Infographics are very helpful when a teacher wants to 'chunk' a lesson in to smaller units. 'Chunking' is a method for grouping and organizing information to make it easier to comprehend and remember. Piktochart can be used to display and present a large amount of information in a visually appealing way.
