I have heard teachers say that teaching is an exhausting professions because students like to be entertained as they learn. INFOGRAPHICS are the solution!

Visual literacy is a needed skill! Students no longer only need to read and write! They need to be able to capture and express ideas in various ways, as well as be able to communicate with others and infer meaning. Inquiry driven learning is a way for students to conduct and compile research. When coupled with the use of creating infographics, they are better able to demonstrate and reflect the higher level thinking and questioning process they go through during their research.
