Easy Web Content Presenter

 

 Infographics are easy to read and understand. Your students love them because they are a visually appealing way to convey information.  Creating your own has never been easier than it is using a new Web 2.0 resource called EWC Presenter.  It's a powerful, web-based HTML editor that lets you create inforgraphics like the one below, using a simple drag and drop interface.


After creating a free account, you'll see the dashboard were you can choose to make an Inforgraphic or a Presentation.
Either uses the same features.  In fact you can create multiple pages of inforgraphics and then turn it into a presentation.







To create an infographic, you choose from a variety of themes.
Choose from a variety of types and begin to add your data in the template. 


You can also drag and drop images you want to use with the infographic, as well as create text boxes and titles for any area.  After populating the fields,  you'll see the data come to life.






Classroom Integration Ideas:
  • Students can create infographics in history, geography, economics, science, etc
  • Create a presentation on various data they have researched using multiple inforgraphics.
