Thing 23: Infographics & Data Visualization

I chose to create an infographic about human rights violations and current global crisis such as human trafficking. I chose this because both of my classes for their end of the year project will be completing a Google Site presentation on a global crisis of their choosing with solutions to the UN. I created this as an example for my students when they have to create their PSA or infographic for their project. I picked Easelly to use for the project because I had used LucidPress, Canva, and Piktograph to create infographics because and found them "clunky" and difficult to manipulate material although for digital posters Canva is an excellent tool. I liked how easy Easelly was to manipulate symbols, texts, and the templates seemed very user friendly. This seems like a platform that is less likely to frustrate my students and need less trouble shooting so I look forward to trying it out in my class. The only thing I did not like was many of the symbols needed a pro account even for a symbol that should have been free i.e. a human person symbol. Other than that it was easy to use and make visually appealing infographics!
