Infographics

Infographics are great.  They definitely liven up a topic in a visualizing way.  For some students, it is much easier to understand and absorb the material which makes the learning more engaging.  This is why infographics have a huge upside for education.  There is no limit to how they can be used.  Here is a video about infographics and below this are free infographic design sites.  I have also included a few of inforgraphics at the bottom of this page.
