Assignment Title: Infographic
Uses in the Classroom: Infographics can be utilitized in the classroom (or school in general) in several different ways. For example, the above infographic can be a great tool for our current senior alternative students to visual see what graduation requirements they need to meet. By taking what seems to be a lot of complicated information and organizing it in an easy-to-view infographic, a student can better understand what is expected of them.
Educators can also have students create their own infographics as assessments on whatever topic they may be teaching. Infographics would also be a great tool for students to use when participating in cooperative learning. By having each student research their own information and collectively collaborating on an infographic, the student group would have a great visual to show off as their final product. Also, infographics allow students to take a lot of information and present it in an easy-to-view graphic, all while using their own creativeness to accomplish it.

Issues to Consider: When using infographics in the classroom, as an educator or as a student, there is a learning curve that takes place for operating the site. I was able to use http://www.easel.ly/ with only a little bit of a learning curve myself, but I can see other non-tech-savy people having to "learn the system" to create and share their infographics.
Other issues to consider, as always with creating and sharing content online, is to make sure that each graphic or text that you use is allowable under it's copyright. An educator, or student, could have their infographs violate copyright law if not properly cited or used improperly.
