Infographics in the ESL ClassroomKos and Sims (2014) used digital infographics instead of having students write an essay in their classes, and discovered these advantages:1) Visually appealing; allow students to be creative2) Student-motivated and student-driven in terms of

interests3) Allow students to think critically about writing;

“leveling the playing field”

How Infographics Can Be Used in the Classroom

Peachey (2016)■ Summarize (or research) content in a visual form■ Reading comprehension (answer or create questions

based on an infographic)■ Analyze or compare infographics in terms of

effectiveness or accuracy■ Explain processes or rules (a new process that students

create or a historical event or scientific experiment)

Suggestions for Implementing Digital Infographics in Classroom

Consider…■ The “limitations” of free digital infographic tools■ The time needed to explore and analyze infographics

and why we use them■ Technological capabilities of your students and yourself
