Infographics Out The Wazoo

Image
When creating infographics, there are tons of tools and websites you can choose from. I decided to take a look at three different sites, tried them out and discovered some pros and cons of each. Piktochart:   Pikotchart is easy to use and provides unlimited freedom when building and editing infographics. One of the aspects of the site that stands out is it's functional innovation and design flexibility. It helps the user to easily access ready to use graphics, charts and maps.

Universal Design for Learning

  Universal Design for Learning and How to Implement-   A universal design for learning is based on principles that support diverse students by providing them multiple means of representation, action, expression, and engagement. When the universal design is implemented in school libraries, it provides learning opportunities for a wide range of students, leading to independence for students with disabilities. The guidelines I am using daily are perception, when I offer students’ content in different forms. Guideline two, language and symbols, when I use clarifying vocabulary and symbols in the library. Lastly, guideline seven, sparking excitement and curiosity for learning.

Guidelines eight, sustaining effort and persistence, guideline six, executive functions, and guideline three, co...
