Beth Dichter's insight:

What two components are necessary for good assessments? This post states:

1. Activity or Performance

2. Feedback Criteria

Using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy the infographic looks at each level of Bloom's and provides a short explanation of the focus as well as possible assessment activities AND grading and feedback criteria.
The image (above) show the ''higher levels of active active thinking." Click through to the post to see the full infographic and more information.

Beth Dichter's insight:

If you teach history/social studies this post is right up your alley. The website MadeFromHistory has put together 30 infographics that look at 30 key events in the last 100 years, and they do acknowledge that the have "left out quite a few events" due to space limitations. You can also find sections that focus on World War I, World War II, and Civil Rights as well as a Referenced Blog, which shares a wide variety of topics.

For many students, using visuals helps them to recall information more readily. If you teach history from the past 100 years it is worth checking out this website.

David Baker's curator insight, July 29, 2014 12:04 PM

Visuals that include original source materials make classroom experiences much more relevant to students. It allows the story of the events to be made more real whether it is the experiences of WWI, WW II, or Civil Rights.

Anne-Maree Johnson's curator insight, July 29, 2014 6:44 PM

valuable tool for teaching of history. A series of infographics, timelines and a referenced blog which give valuable visual insight into key events from the last century.

Silvia Tolisano shares updated visual thinking routines for:

1. Read > Write> Comment
2. Learn > Reflect > Share
3. Contribute > Feedback > Grow
4. Watch > Do > Teach
5. Document > Present > Disseminate
Along with a visual for each of these routines she also explains each step. She also shares three additional routines that she uses with students, as blogging routines and in professional development.

Vanessa Camilleri's curator insight, January 27, 2015 6:09 AM

A really wonderful representation of what being digital in this era is all about - learning in the digital era, is more of a contribution rather than a passive absorption of online information.

veroco's curator insight, February 10, 2015 12:42 PM

Nice vision : the "modern learning" routines => Read - Comment - Write / Watch - Do - Teach / Contribute - Feedback - Grow...

Dr. Deborah Brennan's curator insight, April 2, 2015 9:34 AM

These thinking routines can help teachers move toward teaching processes for learning rather than content alone. In the era of ever increasing knowledge, we need to help students learn how to learn.

That being said, these routines can also be used as a model for teachers by using them as options for professional development,

Beth Dichter's insight:

Have you thought about having students create infographics and held back because you were not sure how to go about doing this type of project? This post provides an in-depth look at one teacher does this type of project.
She discusses the value of having teachers learn to create their own infographic (as opposed to 'consuming' infographics). To effectively create an infographic students must "break down complex information, then use image, symbol and text to communicate it attractively and effectively..."

A step-by-step list of what to do is included as well as the three essential questions that students were to address. Although designed for a high school class the step-by-step directions are easy to modify to meet the needs of your students.

This was one of a series of posts published by the NY Times. At the end of the post there are links to four additional posts in this series on Teaching With Infographics: Places to Start; Social Studies, History, Economics; Science and Health; and Language Arts, Fine Arts, and Entertainment.

Nalya Ovshieva's curator insight, September 29, 2013 3:14 AM

Infographics is a new kind of visual literacy. They are a kind of visual summary of information that would take a reader hours to process

David Baker's curator insight, September 29, 2013 6:40 PM

This was a great project for our teachers last year. We are posting their info graphics outside out Office of Professional Development.

Gayle Kakac's curator insight, September 30, 2013 8:10 PM

Been loving infographics and looking for a good way to incorporate these. Hoping for an app that would make them easily. We'll see what this has to say...
