Infographics are a great way to share information. They make data easier to read and understand. There are a multitude of ways that infographics can be used. There are also a number of great online resources that can be used to create infographics online.
One of these sites is Easel.ly. Easel.ly is a straightforward site. It was free to join. There were a small number of free templates available to use to customize.If you are newer to creating infographics, the smaller selection could make it less overwhelming to choose from but it felt limited in the choices. There was also the option to create your own design. You can add graphics, charts, text, videos, and more. There are design elements to help guide the creator.
Another site is Piktochart. This site was easy to navigate and had many more options available. There are many types of formats that can be created. Focusing on infographics, there are tons of templates to choose from. They even give the option of types of infographics to choose from to better suit your needs. The design elements that you can use are texts, charts, design elements and more. They also have creator tips easily accessible.
A third online resource is Infogram. This site also lists many different formats that you can choose from to create. The infographics are easily customizable. It is also pretty easy to input/change the data you want. As someone who is new to this, I found it helpful that I could change things around and the program was able to adjust accordingly. You can also add charts, maps, graphics and integrations-things like YouTube, DropBox and more.
I used Piktochart to create my infographic. To me, it seemed to be the easiest to use. There were lots of templates to choose from but I still felt like I could easily customize them to make them fit my needs and what I need for my information. It was very user friendly to change and customize the data. I don't always feel very confident in my computer skills, but I was able to navigate this site pretty easily. There were so many ways I could see using this site to create future infographics. They can be tailored to fit any level of students, parents, staff, whomever you want to reach. I think the design choices are also eye-catching and current with the times.
