Infographics Made Easy - With Piktochart

I have been wanting to create infographics for a very long time, and have been waiting for the inevitable tool to be introduced that would enable a user to create them easily.  It's here! I can hardly contain my excitement.

Piktochart is a great tool that gives you templates to choose from, and a side panel of text tools, graphics, chart generators, and more with which to customize your infographic.  It's extremely flexible, allowing you to change fonts, colors, and more!  I've often thought that teaching students to create infographics as an alternative to a research paper, presentation, or annotated bibliography would be tons of fun - it's a very creative way to share data.

The danger?  Spending way too much time playing with the tool. I've spent more time on this than I should have today, and my to-do list is suffering as a result!  Still, I think sometimes creativity is worth putting in a couple extra hours over the weekend.


I wish it displayed a bit larger; you'll be forced to hold down your control key and scroll in to enlarge it.  This is something I'll have to work on.  But not today - MUST move on!

Happy Friday.
