ILP #2 "Design"- Infographic
Welcome back!
Recently, I have began using different types of software in order to create educational contact that is more design heavy. This makes the information more pleasing to view as well as possibly encouraging students to want to learn. I have created an infographic (shown below) about the most important parts of the brain, including the four lobes, the cerebellum, pituitary gland, and cerebellum. Each of these different parts plays a role in motor and sensory processing as well as the senses and our emotions. Creating this infographic, the key idea was to make it pleasing to the eye and not text heavy. Infographics stick to the most important and basic information and that is what I have done here. I also wanted there to be a picture because there is often a lot of clipart featured within infographics. This type of infographic would be most beneficial in a science class in junior high or high school or even in a psychology class.

I hope this inspires some of you to get creative with your educational content!
