I wasted Soooooooooo much time as an educator creating graphics/worksheets/ materials etc using blunt tools like powerpoint and word. I used tools like canva and other online apps to create things that looked like things everyone else could make.  I got frustrated when automatic settings messed with my format. I have since discovered the miracle that is Adobe. I think that educators can do themselves a favor by learning these apps: inDesign, ReaderDC Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Lightroom.  These apps can be used to create beautiful interactive products for students--graphics that can make things more accessbile, tables etc. Teaching students to use these tools--is an intro to graphic design and well worth the time.  I use these tools daily to create student materials, and facility with these tools is an important 21st century skill.

I recently started using Khan Academy with my students. I use it mainly for math, but there is a Beta version for ELA. My students can work through an assignment and see their score as soon as they're done.

We have interactive Smart boards  and I have created language activities for my students. I have also used the pre-created lessons through Smart technology.
Students also use an online math program called IXL. I am able to monitor progress and student productivity.

I like the many different options that we have for quick, fun, and interactive online assessments.  The most recent that I have found is Gimkit.  It is an online game that you can create or use questions from already created gimkits (similar to quizziz).  The students earn money that they can choose how to spend it to get on the leaderboard.  The students I have this year love it.  I use it to review before a test or to see how they are doing on a certain topic.
I also love google forms as a quiz. There are so many features that they are constantly adding that give you lots of options on how you would like to assess the students.

I like using online sources for the students that I give them through the Google Classroom or different media options for an extra credit assignment or a summative assessment.

Our district had adopted the Reading Street Program. As a grade level, we did several of the activities online. Our students took the weekly tests online and it scored it for them; giving them an immediate score. It kept an online gradebook for the Reading Street assignments, but capability of showing graphs of student achievement on different questions of the assignment/test. It also could read the stories aloud to the kids, which was great for kids reading below grade level.

Using online jeopardy format students can interact with their learning which then can spark discussions on that topic. Topics from math to ELA grammar can be used. Students can create their own questions too.

Something that my students struggle with is writing essays. Since there are 30 students in my ELA class, and only one of me, I created some screencasts for students to watch if needed that were centered around common questions (such as "how do I make a thesis statement"). Students who already knew what to do did not did to watch the videos and worked independently. Some students watched the videos and knew what to do. I helped students that were still stuck, which allowed me to give more individualized help during class time.

I feel that I am lacking more in this tier than in tier 1. I would like to do virtual field trips with my students, and have started using google surveys, interactive games, and padlet, but I would like to do a virtual scavenger hunt with cultural information for students to learn and discover on their own.

I teach 7th and 8th grade Spanish, and I use Quizlet for formative assessment. Students have a lot of choice in how they practice, and can see which terms or concepts they need more practice with. I can also see which things students need help with, and can tailor future practice based on the information. I pay about $25 per year, which gives me additional features, not available for free, and I find it well worth it. Quizlet adds new features periodically. Recent additions have been the Quizlet Live game which encourages teamwork (and which students LOVE), and Learn, which starts out easy, and gets more difficult as students get better with the material. Also, you can create and print a variety of "tests".

Just this year we started using Interactive White Boards with our Unique Learning System Curriculum. One of a multitude of resources and materials through ULS provides leveled readers with corresponding comprehension questions. Before our tech upgrades, materials were printed out and done paper/pencil; now the students are highly motivated and eager to participate in the activities when it involves technology. It makes learning fun!

I like to play checkers with my students as a review game. I ask them Geometry questions, and if they answer the question correctly, they get to make their teams move, if they are wrong, the other team gets to make their team's move for them. I couldn't do this process without using a presentation style checkerboard, and it has really seemed to hold the students' interest better than any other review I've tried.

I am a visual learner, so I like to present information visually to my students. One of the ways I do this is by using infographics. I post an infographic in Google Classroom and give students a chance to explore. Here's a site that has a lot of fun and interactive infographics.

If you want to create better, more effective infographics, this post is for you.

You probably clicked this article, not because you like looking at the best infographics, but rather, because you want to make them yourself... and you want those that you make, or those that are made for you, to be better.

However, one statistic stood out to us: 66% of marketers report that creating well-designed and engaging visual content is a huge struggle.

So, we instructed our team to start bookmarking those examples of great infographics that we really liked. We passed them around the team. We pinned. We shared. We curated.

Eventually, we realized we had a repository of great content. Examples across spectrums, across industries, and across infographic types. A repository of amazing infographics that could help inspire our future pieces, train new hires, and keep our team innovating.

That's when we realized we needed to take it to another level, to really curate the best of the best, not just to help others, but to help ourselves. So we sought out to curate a list of 100 diversified, amazing infographics.

How We Picked the Top 100

This post is the result of 20+ years of experience designing, creating and sharing visual assets. We started with that experience and jotted down every great infographic we could think of, giving us more than 300 pieces.

Then I spent an additional few days scouring the internet, grabbing the best of the best from infographic lists, and asking the opinions of experts I respected.

To make sure we didn't leave any rocks uncovered, we read through every infographic detailed in the Best Infographics books, and included or annotated any we had listed that came from them, with the knowledge that they would be great sources for a post like this.

At that point, I chopped down from there. I removed any infographics that didn't blow me away, or otherwise, followed design or idea frameworks that other infographics on the list also utilized.

This gave us a list of 100 infographic examples that were not just great on their own, but also worked great as a collection - thereby making the list stronger overall.

Each infographic on the list is annotated with an icon that allows you to subsegment by the types that interest you the most. We plan to keep this list updated, too, so check back for updates or otherwise, feel free to suggest infographics worthy of inclusion.

What the Infographic Icons Mean

The 100 Best Infographics

Data Visualization 50+ LRDs Animation Interactive Great Idea Unique Design Book Selection Expert Selection

Mixed shots are a popular pastime for many people, and they are represented well in this infographic. Using gradients to represent each, the designer found a way to create an elegant landscape to represent the alcoholic concoctions. It's useful, too - such simple recipes mean the details below make the shots easy to recreate.

3D Agriculture

This infographic is my favorite on this list in terms of sheer visual beauty. It uses photo manipulations, compositing, 3D tools and drawing to construct its aesthetic.

42 North American Butterflies

The wings flapping in this animation is the part that really grabs you, so make sure you click through to see it in full. The illustration of these very unique butterflies is nothing short of amazing, too - so don't forget to be impressed by that, also.

Gay Rights in the U.S. - State by State

Combine a sensitive subject with an interactive, radial layout that is well thought-out, and you have a piece that captures coverage from 125 unique outlets. It's hard to come up with a concept that properly uses the radial format that doesn't impress.

How Fast is the Fire Department?

We commonly refer to the power of emotion in creating marketable ideas -- and this piece takes the concept to a whole new level. If you live in LA, it almost certainly pisses you off -- which means this definitely belongs on every best of list that's ever created.

How to Be Productive

While this infographic doesn't look bad by any means, it also shows the power of a well-executed idea. We learn how to be productive in a distilled, actionable format, giving us a direct path to improving productivity most other posts won't offer.

How to Make the Perfect Cocktail

This ratio infographic is one we frequently reference as a potential use-case for other pieces we do. There's a reason for that - it's elegantly executed and a pleasure to read through and use. That's why it warrants purchase for many.

Hungry Tech Giants: 15 Years of Acquisitions

What's the acquisition history of major tech companies? How do the acquisition sizes compare? These two questions - and figuring out a way to nicely display the answers, led to a highly successful piece by Simply Business that generated 150+ LRDs.

Ketchup + 17 Clean Ingredients

Random and simple is sometimes genius. This piece is nothing striking from a design perspective, but the unique idea grabs you, and if you're like us, makes you laugh. Ingenunity like this makes for highly shared pieces.

Kitchen 101: Fruits, Vegetables & Herbs

This infographic isn't easy to understand on the surface, but once you acclimate, it's a powerful and useful representation of the seasonality of produce. Sometimes, effective visualizations are such because they can compact more complicated information in a smaller space - while still retaining comprehension.

Kitchen 101: Pasta

Some of the best infographics come from unique, out there ideas that make for visually interesting and also aesthetically pleasing portions. This encyclopedia of pasta is one example of just that - an immensely comprehensive take on every carb-heavy option, presented in a way that's enjoyable to read through.

The 10 Commandments of UI Design

One commandment you should stick to for your next infographic? Utility. This visual isn't breaking any design records, but it's damn useful - a bookmark (or background) that many UI designers reference during their day to day.

The Charted Cheese Wheel

Cheese, please. Another clever vehicle that is effective time and time again is explaining something within the design context of that apparatus. In this case, we get 65 cheeses within one glamorous cheese wheel.

The World as 100 People

As mentioned in the description, this isn't a new concept. But the representation is, and that's what made it go viral, generating 112 LRDs and more importantly, starting several conversations around race, religion, poverty and more.

The Best Infographics? Those Tied to Business Outcomes

At Siege, we're passionate about the fact that infographics should not just be things that are pretty to look at and share. They should also be effective in driving business outcomes. Studies have shown that many infographics are bad at driving brand recall, which isn't great no matter how resonate the concept is. Many of the above infographics likely fall into that (unfortunate) bucket.

This said, infographics can be valuable for driving links in addition to brand value. At Siege, we combine both elements to drive top-funnel search volume and also, bottom-funnel rankings. If that sounds like something up your alley, check out our infographic design services - it's one of the things we do best.

Stories in the spirit of "Choose Your Own Adventure"

I have not implemented this idea yet, but I would like to try using Google Sites as a way for students to create Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-like stories online. This could be done with any website builder, but students' possible familiarity with Google Sites makes me lean in that direction. I had envisioned this project as a paper-and-pencil assignment but never implemented it; I believe that digital tools would make it much more manageable from the students' perspective.

While I noticed I was lacking in Tier 2 versus Tier 1, I was pleased that I initiated online exams for my Algebra classes the last few years. While there are still growing pains with the process, it was so streamlined. I think that students really got used to the idea of online assessment and weren't afraid to try it out. They had instant results with their test as well.
