The Big 6

I have found a new love ... infographics!  They can take complex processes and simplify them in an instant.  They can organize statistics in an engaging and powerful way.  Thousands are available online ranging from infographics (yes, there are infographics about infographics) to education around the world and  selecting sunscreen to Taylor Swift.  You name it, I bet you can find an infographic for it.  

If not, create one yourself!  Below is an infographic about the Big 6 research process.  I created it quickly on Canva, a free online tool that is user-friendly and intuitive.  This article has 5 online tools for creating infographics.  How could your students utilize them?

  2. Stephanie ~ I like the basic, simplistic look of your infographic. I, too, found Canva enjoyable (and far more easy & efficient), moreso than the other two tools (Easel.ly & Piktochart). I'm wondering, however, if there's a way to lighten the color of the texts inside your numbered steps...? It seems that it made half of the words the color of your circle's background, and the other half is white, which actually makes it a little harder to read than expected (versus it being all white). Side note: I love the Big 6 Model for student research! :o) G'work overall!
