46 Tools To Make Infographics In The Classroom

46 Tools To Make Infographics In The Classroom | Digital and Graphic Design Tips, Tools and Tricks in Higher Education | Scoop.it

Infographics are interesting–a mash of (hopefully) easily-consumed visuals (so, symbols, shapes, and images) and added relevant character-based data (so, numbers, words, and brief sentences).

The learning application for them is clear, with many academic standards–including the Common Core standards–requiring teachers to use a variety of media forms, charts, and other data for both information reading as well as general fluency...

In his wonderful Book " Literacy in the New Media Age  ", Gunther Kress talked about the shifting metrics of literacy and how digital media reshaped the focus of literacy. For him, the image is now displacing the written code as the predominant mode of communication. The screen is replacing the book.

Stampsy - create digital multimedia content

Stampsy - create digital multimedia content | Digital and Graphic Design Tips, Tools and Tricks in Higher Education | Scoop.it
Stampsy is a sharing platform for people who produce compelling digital media content.

Whether you're a photographer, an editor or an art school student, Stampsy is the place where your creative ideas are shaped into beautiful digital experiences. We call them Stamps and they're a completely new online format for framing your talent and sharing content on the web. At a time of rapidly increasing opportunities for storytelling and visual expression, Stampsy is the place where digital content comes to life.

Baiba Svenca's curator insight, May 2, 2:00 PM

Stampsy is a new iPad app for creating digital content. The steps are easy to follow - add images and text to your page using drag-and-drop method. Change colours or fonts, and design the page as you like.

The result you'll get is a linear presentation with great visual potential, perfect for storytelling purposes.

There is a small inconvenience though - you will need a Facebook account to use the application.

The app is free. Download it here https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stampsy/id582398120?mt=8

 

ghbrett's curator insight, May 8, 9:32 AM

Stampsy is an interesting graphic tool currently for the iPad. It has a few necessry tools such as Headline, Text, Images, Colour Palette, Various Fonts, and best of all it is limited to 10 pages. If Powerpoints were limited to 10 pages I wonder how much real information would be lost? No doubt we'd see the important information. Check it out.

Immersive Presentations: Get Your Live Video Inside Your Slides with Personify Live

Immersive Presentations: Get Your Live Video Inside Your Slides with Personify Live | Digital and Graphic Design Tips, Tools and Tricks in Higher Education | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Personify Live is a new type of Windows app which allows you to integrate in your live webcast, online event or webconference your real-time video image overlayed on the slide content you are showcasing.

 

To achieve this result, Personify Live extends the capabilities of your favorite web conferencing solution (GoToMeeting, GoTowebinar, WebEx, Adobe Connect, Skype, Lync, etc.) "by extracting you from your surroundings and placing you within the presentation".

 

"The technology creates a virtual green screen feel for the presenter, for a communication experience that attempts to come as close to being physically present in front of the audience as possible.

 

[Personify Live] extracts live video of the presenter to then superimpose it onto the desktop to create a layer on top of a presentation.

 

There’s also a complementary iPhone or Android app that acts as a remote control, letting presenters mute the video feed of themselves with a click of a button, and interact with the content to emphasize and engage their audience.

 

Source: http://betakit.com/2012/11/12/personify-pairs-kinects-camera-with-videoconferencing-tools-to-amp-up-presentations

 

There are three ways in which Personify Live can be used:

 

a) As an extension to your existing web conferencing and presentation tools.

 

b) As a cloud-based production platform that can output a downloadable .MP4 video

 

c) As a live screencasting app by itself which can integrate with your presentation tools.

 

Pricing starts at $19.99/mo or at $199 for an annual subscription (which includes an Asus Xtion Pro Live Depth Camera and three months free).

 

P.S.: For Windows 7 / Vista only. (Mac version coming in 2013)

Understanding how to use the "creative commons" is about to be every Internet marketer's job. I'm lousy at attribution and that has to stop.


I don't like it when sites copy my work without attribution so only fair to hold myself to the same standard or stop being mad when someone copies my work wholesale (unlikely). Attribution is the right Thank You and kudos for someone's hard work. 

This infogrpahic helps understand the creative commons, attribution and the future of our visual heavy Internet marketing.
