"In order for our learners to see how designing information changes how it is viewed, the students this year placed their visual infographics side-by-side with their linear notes to see the transformation. It was the “ah ha” moment, when they could examine how the delivery of content mattered and how the deliberate choices in font hierarchy, color selection, and placement changed the way others perceived the ideas."
Beth Dichter's insight:
What a difference a visual can make? Check out the projects shown in this post. Compare the linear version (text only) with a visual that has the same information but presented in a completely different way. Which one do you think your students would be able to drawn to? In this post ASIDE provides a bit of the history of how they have gone about teaching their students to create visuals (also known as infographics). Along with providing the visual and the linear version of three projects they also provide two charts: * The Elements of Design (the tools to make art) * The Principles of Design ( how to use the tools to make art) There are many free tools that help students create visuals. If you have been considering a project that would have your students take part in this type of project this post provides valuable information that will help the project run more smoothly.
