INFOGRAPHICS as a FINAL PRODUCT

Consider using infographics as an incredible way for students to show their research analysis skills. Not only do students make critical choices about what data/information to incorporate into the valuable space on the infographic, they also have to synthesize different kinds of data into a new, authentic representation of their ideas. Great for argumentation/informative writing, great for research-based projects, great for any data-based task. 

 The key part to infographic CREATION in the classroom is supporting kids to GET what data matters, what should be represented, and HOW to show it in a way that meets the audience's needs (and achieves the goal of the author).

 INFOGRAPHICS at LINDBERGH- Ty Cochran's Infographic Project

See what his students were able to create and his reaction to their AWESOME work...  Ty's account of just how AWESOME this project ended up is featured on our Google+ page.... WAY beyond his expectations! Check out his students' final products. His own words: "I was BLOWN AWAY!"
Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4

Wouldn't it be nice to have Gmail respond for you alerting whoever is emailing that you out enjoying your summer? Setting up your vacation responder is pretty simple, a few clicks and a save. Start by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail. Scroll way down the page. Look for the vacation responder section. 1. Click to turn the responder on. 2.
