February 5, 2017

This week has been spent researching and 'playing' with various infographic sites.  I looked at Smore, Infogram, Create Visually, Canva and Piktochart.  Canva was a user friendly site but I could not find a template I liked.  Smore was also user friendly but it didn't appeal to me.   I ended up choosing Piktochart.  I liked the templates that were available to choose from and it was easy to manipulate (change color, font, location) the different parts of the template.

I also spent time searching for peer-reviewed articles about assumptions with technology.  This was not as easy as I expected it to be.  In the search, I realized I needed to narrow down the search to assumptions of technology in education. Even with narrowing the search, there are numerous choices to focus on such as general assumptions, social media, flipped classrooms, online classes,etc.  I pulled several articles to review in order to narrow down the subject.  Since I am teaching in a face to face class, I am leaning towards focusing on how technology impacts a face to face K-12 school and classroom.
