iTunes Movie Trailers iTunes Movie Trailers Poster ViewText View Previous How to Turn a Classroom Research Project into an Infographic Conveying information in a striking, concise way has never been more important, and infographics are the perfect pedagogical tool with which to do so. Below, you’ll find my experience with designing an infographic-friendly classroom research project, explained in a step-by-step process you can implement in your own classroom.

This is why I'll keep ureadahead, and forego E4rat.
