Well, well, well.
After great efforts and hardships, your bro has managed to create an AWESOME infographic. In our latest Instructional Technologies assignment, we were asked to create an infographic. The task focused on topics like cyberbullying, plagiarism, and similar digital-age issues. And while doing it, we had to be careful about a lot of things: colors, order, font choice, layout- basically, everything. Now, for most people, that sounds like a nightmare.
- But not for me...
- Because I’m Baran Stinson.
- And I’m AWESOME.
I chose cyberbullying as the topic. The reason is very simple: A bro should never bully another bro in a way that hurts him. Now, when it comes to the tools I used to work my magic, let's talk about Big Daddy Google (especially the Scholar version). Always a legendary search engine. I tapped into international research and resources like a true pro.
And then there’s an old buddy, Canva, my design weapon of choice. Of course, my secretary's name is Chat GPT. Sure, organizing everything and picking the right colors was a trouble, but guess what? I pulled off the magic.
A well-crafted infographic is not just an attention-grabber for students but also a super cool tool to help them get more familiar with the topic. It’s also a fantastic reminder, if you ask me. Infographics can be used for so many purposes if you know how to use them like a pro.
When designing my infographic, I imagined it as a handout, something that would grab students' attention, guide them, and help them out with the topic. If my infographic does what I hope it will in practice, I’ll have accomplished something even more important than just transferring knowledge. I’ll have raised their awareness, not just about the subject, but about life and the world around them.
Before I say goodbye to my friends, I’m sharing my infographic so your eyes can be dazzled by its divine, godly beauty. Happy reading, MacLaren’s ELT Pub regulars.
Update: We had to make a 2nd version with feedback. Thanks to my buddy Irem Beyazit's feedback, I highlighted the "do you know" part a little more in my infographic. She said the rest was AWESOME like me.
