Hello Fellow Librarians!!
I chose to explore Piktochart. When I got started I was so excited to learn more about the different formats. The formats are traditional infographic format, presentation format, reports and banners. I decided to work on the traditional format just to get more practice since I have not ever created one before. I am really excited about the possibilities that the presentation format can offer students and staff. I prefer PowerPoint and Google Slides, but by high school students are desperate for something different. That is the reason why Prezi and EMaze have become so popular among my students. EMaze is another presentation tool that students have started using for projects.
I really like Piktochart! It is so fun and user friendly and each of the formats is extremely useful. There are a reasonable number of templates to use and modify. I decided to create an infographic Piktochart to post library expectations. A traditional list of "rules" can seem oppressive. I like the way the infographic came out. It gets the expectations of the library across with appealing icons and a clean layout. Unfortunately, some aspects of editing are blocked without signing up for the Pro version.
I loved the article How to Create Stunning Infographics in 30 Minutes or Less. I specifically like the rules for effective infographics. I love infographic and want to use them more. It is hard to keep the attention of students and staff and these tools allow for quick delivery and attractive design that are memorable
Another tool that I have found and really like for creating pleasing infographics is Canva.com!
