On this occasion I bring you an INFOGRAPHIC. Do you know what it is?

Infographics can be defined as visual representations of data or information.

In this case I have created this tool to use it in the Natural Science class. It is about the planets of the Solar System.

I consider it a very effective way to give visual support to the students at the same time that they are more interested in learning the information. Also, I believe that it helps them to better organize and schematize content and main ideas.

In addition to bringing you this tool with an example, I want to tell you which website I have used to carry it out.

Easel.ly:

I consider this application marvelous in order to make infographics. You can choose between an example template or create your own. As a result of your selection, you can continue adding all kinds of images and shapes, letter designs, backgrounds, charts and even add videos.

In addition, it is a very intuitive and simple application that allows you to customize, as I have already told you, many things about your infographic. Based on my experience, I did not know how to use this application and I quickly became very comfortable with it.

Finally, an important fact: All the images that have been used to do the Infographic belong to public domain. In order to thank the photographers, I list you the references one by one, all the images are taken from the website: pixabay.com
