"This tool allows you to create presentations, infographics, video presentations, resumes, and more.

It includes many templates with access to photos, animations, and illustrations giving the user the ability to make any image or text interactive.

Content can be shared through a link or downloaded.

Teachers can make materials to share with students or other teachers, and students can use to build resumes or design a product for summative assessment." (AASL)

The gamification options look really good within this tool. You (or your students) can make a variety of different games to test content.

There are some great product choices in here to demonstrate learning.

Students will create an infographic to share knowledge and data about an issue or science topic they are studying.

Review these news articles and infographics on the impact and connection between financial wellness and physical and mental health. Students can reflect on the impact of financial stress and how it affects everything- physical, mental health and even workplace performance. The statistics in the news arcticles on financial stress are very challenging right now for Canadians, so students could read these articles and look for ways to change these statistics going forward for their generation.

Slow Reveal Graph (#slowrevealgraph) is an instructional routine that promotes sensemaking about data. This highly engaging routine uses scaffolded visuals and discourse to help students (in K-12 and beyond) make sense of data. As more and more of the graph is revealed, students refine their interpretation and construct meaning, often in surprising ways. This routine increases access for students without sacrificing rigor or engagement.

You will find all types of graphs for all ages of learners from elementary to high school.

Here are the steps:
- It starts with a graph that has been stripped of context: its numbers, its labels, its title.
- The teacher facilitates a discussion around what students notice and wonder. (The slides give discussion suggestions)
- Then another slide is revealed.
- Students identify what information is new.
- Then another slide is revealed.
- Again, students identify what information is new (the title) and discuss how this changes their understanding of the graph.
- As more slides are added, more insight into this data representation is revealed.

The introductory page for the graph also offers more information about the context for this graph, other content connections, and paired texts for students to explore.

Summary: Infographics have become a very popular method of sharing information. Students learned how to read infographics by looking at various examples of basic graphics and then expanded to a wide variety of methods used to show information on different topics.
The theme that was being focused on was An Eye on the Natural and Technological Environment. Because of rotation of themes, I ended up with three grades doing the same theme, however they covered their own outcomes for their grade as can be seen above.
