Inforgraphic
I got the idea for this infographic from my last cooperating teacher. It is a list of fitness activities that match up with the letter of the alphabet. Then each day at the start of the class you can have a word of the day posted. This word of the day will be their fitness warm-up/ work-out as they will have to do the activity that corresponds with each letter of the word. These inforgraphics can be posted in each corner of the gym so students can spread out and do their work-out. You would probably want to teach students these exercises first so that they do not all have to ask how to do them. It makes for an easy to incorporate warm up.
I used piktochart to make the inforgraphic and found it very easy to use. I think that if you purchased the pro version there would be even more possibilities but as it is there are many options with the free version. I plan to continue to use the free version as a way to create any graphics that I might find useful in my teachings or everyday life. If I really find myself wanting to be able to do more I will consider buying the pro version. Piktochart is something that I will show to my students as well. We just had a guest speaker who encouraged us to rethink summative evaluation. His point was that there are multiple ways for students to show their understanding. I think infographics could be a great way for students to show understanding and would be interesting to see what they might create.
Wade great job on your Info-graph. I like the idea using infographics in my classroom. when I was growing up we had power point and word to design posters. this program is easy to use and has lots of different categories and features you can use. i think this would be a great assignment or students to do and a really neat skill to have creating and designing posters, rubrics information boards.
