A Must Have Rubric for Infographic Use in The Classroom ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

So you're planning to make infographics part of teaching toolbox! Educational infographics section both here and on our  Pinterest board has hundreds of meticulously selected graphics to use with your students in the classroom. I am pretty sure you will find some good ones for your class.

In other words, you need a rubric of the things you have to highlight when selecting such learning materials for your class. Thankfully, Kathy Schrock has created this wonderful chart featuring the most important elements to consider when opting for infographics. Kathy has also another great page on infographics which I highly recommend for you.
