What is it? Easil.ly is an awesome tool that allows you to create your own infographics. Infographics, according to the dictionary, are “visual images such as charts or diagrams used to represent information or data.” This type of tool could be used in virtually any subject area, but check out how a teacher used it for reading assessment!
What do I need to do? Login was ridiculously easy; all it requires is a quick registration.
Want to check one out? Here is a quick infographic I put together! It took me roughly 15 minutes to go from the template I chose to my end result. (*Graphics will enlarge if you click on them)
This is the end result of my testing!
This is a basic Easel.ly template
