Infographics have become a viral trend, prolific on all forms of social media and used by many professionals in the fields of business, education, and government. Thus it is important for students to have an understanding of what is required in order to create an infographic. Through the process an understanding of how to read an infographic effectively is also gained. In the age of big data creating and understanding infographics will be an essential skill. Other skills learnt through the teaching infographics are visualization, persuasive writing, storytelling, effective communication, collaboration, and creativity.
Infographics can be an extremely enjoyable tool to create. Allow students to pick topics that they enjoy; sports, video games, tv/movies/books, even politics. Encourage humourous and/or fun designs.

This lesson plan for stage 4 Mathematics during the statistics unit incorporating ICT. The lesson can be spread over the course of a week or cut down to a single lesson, depending on the level of the class and previous knowledge. If student are familiar with data collection and the presentation of data then they can go straight into infographics otherwise spend some time covering the concepts and terms involved with data collection and presentation.

Used as a summative assessment tool to evaluate students understanding. Not all components need to be assessed however the main focus should be on the data visualisation. Students should be able to effectively present the data so the reader is able to quickly understand the information. It is important that examples of what an effective infographic is is presented to the class during the orientation phase of the lesson. Having these around the classroom whilst students are creating there own will allow them to use as a reference.
