Infographics: Piktochart

Upon reviewing different sites to create Infographics, I decided to choose Piktochart. I played around with the other options but found that for some reason, Piktochart seemed more user friendly and I felt as though it had more options.

For my Infographic, the topic I selected from The Pew Research Center was Online Harassment. Within my Infographic I shared my views on the topic, as well as my views on the site itself.

Here is the link to my Infographic on Piktochart:

    Hello Josefita! I think you did a great job with the infographic (Piktochart) you created, you put so much into it to make everyone fully aware of the how Online Harassment has become a big problem and affects so many people. Overall you did a great job!
    I found Piktochart a little more difficult to use and navigate, it also did not have very many free templates to offer, many of the templates I was interested in had to be purchased. I decided to use Infogram, which I found fairly easy to use and navigate. I did like the charts available to put into the infograhic, even though it did take some time to understand how to use the chart and input the information I really liked Infogram. The web app that I found completely user-friendly was Easelly, this web app also had many templates available to use and offers many different backgrounds.

    I was eager to view your infographic because I decided to create mine using Easelly instead of Piktochart (Infogram did not appeal to me). Immediately, I was drawn in by your graphics and information. The survey results on 'Reactions and Attitudes Towards Harassment' was especially interesting. Great presentation. Thought-provoking information. I am glad you picked this topic!

Learning About Feed Readers and Blogs!

Lucky Inoreader The feed reader I selected is the Inoreader . The reasons I chose it are simple. One, it is easily accessible through the Web, iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. I believe that accessibility is crucial and not worrying about whether or not I will be able to access it from any type of device is definitely a determining factor. To be frank, I had no idea what a feed reader was and so I had never used one before. My second reason is that I don’t want to have to create accounts using programs/services, etc. for a class and just forget about it later. I am actually taking in everything that I am learning so that I may continue to use it in the future. One of the characteristics that I found useful is that it is considered the best for long-term content archiving. I don’t want to add a bunch of links on here that I will never use again. And lastly, I am a visual person. If I don’t like the way something looks, if it is not aesthetically pleasing to the eye, it will not catch

Screencasts, Instagram, and Flipagram

Screencast- A couple of my professors at SHSU have incorporated How To Videos into their lessons and I always wondered what program they used. For some reason I thought it was something only accessible to professors, but what was I thinking? When I read up on what  Screencast-o-matic was, I was thrilled and concerned at the same time. For some reason I thought it was going to be difficult and not user friendly. I was quite pleasantly surprised to find that it was rather simple. And I love it! As a matter of fact, the screencast I created will be used by my students the next couple of weeks since we are about to start research paper. For the screencast I chose to do a tutorial, please be kind, this is the first time I do one! The tutorial is to show students how to navigate the resources that our school distsrict provides for our students free of charge. The first one I covered was Follet Destiny, our OPAC catalog. The second thing I covered was our access to Britannica Online which

Videos and QR Codes in the Library

YouTube When it comes to implementing more resources to grab students’ attention in the classroom, we have a wide variety of resources that can be used. Whether it be web applications, videos, or programs, educators in today’s time have a huge advantage over educators of twenty years ago. However, selecting media as resources in the classroom can also bring disadvantages. Because of the vast amount of resources out there, selecting the most appropriate ones can be a tedious task of trial and error. When looking through the various channels of libraries, I found so much relevant information/material, yet I had very clear in my mind that I had to select a videos that would be  helpful for teachers and videos that would greatly benefit students. And that, is a difficult task bevies there are several factors that must be taken into consideration in making this selection. The NHS Library One of the videos I chose was How To Use EBSOCOHost for a simple reason. It is highly informati
