A history teacher uses the oil spill for a student design project Devon ThomasStudents in Diana Laufenberg’s 11th grade history class discuss the infographics they created in a three-week project on environmental disasters. From left to right, the students are Ryan Francis, Luna Frank-Fischer, and Kern Clarke. To close Infographics Week here on The Learning Network, I invited a classroom teacher (and self-described “fanatic” about the use of infographics in education) to detail a project I first heard her talk about on a National Writing Project-affiliated podcast called “Teachers Teaching Teachers.” Diana Laufenberg has been a public school social studies teacher for the last thirteen years, eight at the middle school level and five in high school. Diana acknowledges that though the ready access to technology at a school like hers is a clear advantage, she spent eleven years in schools where access was limited — and she believes that “effective project-based, inquiry-driven learning is not dependent on technology.” So here’s Diana. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Infographics for the Art Challenged I've been interested in infographics for a couple years now. The best ones do a fantastic job organizing complex ideas, sharing information through a mix of visuals and text. In fact they provide a unique opportunity to study (or practice!) the relationship between text and image for conveying ideas. Infographics are an excellent alternative to research papers when teachers want students to practice the skills of research, organiziation and analysis without taking the time to write (or grade!) I've never had students do them, though, because they always required a) artistic ability or b) hard-core Adobe Illustrator skills. No longer. As someone severely art-challenged (as many of my students, who have laughed themselves silly over my stick figures, will tell you), I especially appreciate the opportunity these apps provide for students to think in visual terms. I also think I'll use them to do my annual report.
By the Numbers: Infographics, cont. Are you growing tired of Infographics yet? We've finished round one of the Infographic Project, with lots of interesting feedback. You'll see student samples throughout this post--the best of the lot; most of them, quite frankly, didn't quite get it, for reasons I'll discuss below. In a nutshell, we deemed the assignment well worth another go, and feel students will do a better job the second time around. The assignment was for students to choose a specific tourist destination such as EuroDisney or Hurghada, Egypt, and show how the site fit into the Butler Model of tourism. As it turns out, that probably wasn't the best assignment for this type of project, as the research aspect was really difficult. Here's how we rolled out the assignment. Day One: The history teacher introduced the assignment, explained the Butler model and looked at examples of it. Day Two: I introduced the students to infographics using this pathfinder. 1. Working with text (I struggled with this, too).
