  • Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): if students are experiencing an infographic, the level might be “Understand” as they review the infographic and add to their knowledge on a subject.  The level jumps to “Create” if they are actually making the infographic to organize and share their understanding with others. 
  • Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): If students are viewing an infographic created by the instructor, it probably fits into the “Demonstration” areas of the Cone.  But, if students are creating with Infogram, then the level changes to at least “Contrived Experiences” if they are creating something for a case study or “Direct, purposeful experience” if they are sharing information about content in the course or real-life information that they have researched.
  • Integration of tool for teaching and learning:
  • Infogram provides the ability to create interactive infographics to share information on a topic in an appealing way.  There are several templates and maps available to choose from for sharing statistics, facts, and images in a cohesive manner.  Instructors can use Infogram to create summaries of the content the class has been learning, or overviews of topics.  Students can use them to report on topics the have researched, summarize what they have learned, and provide review opportunities to their classmates. Completed infographics can be easily shared with others either within Infogram or as downloaded items that are posted in learning management systems, etc. The templates can serve as guides for students or instructors who are newer to creating infographics, or more experienced users can use the tool for freeform infographics that meet their particular needs.

  Gliffy https://www.gliffy.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Gliffy could run the gamut of Bloom's Taxonomy depending on how it was utilized:  students could be given a completed organizer to help them "remember" content that was already presented in a different manner, they could "create" their own organizer and use it to "evaluate" a concept, "analyze" the elements of a concept by comparing and contrasting them, "apply" skills in doing the above activities, and show that they "understand" the concepts address by working out their own way of organizing items.  Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Students could experience a prepared graphical organizer at the point of "exhibits" or "demonstrations," but in having students build their own graphical organizers there is potential for "dramatic participation" and "contrived experiences" along with "dire...

  Flip (formerly Flipgrid) https://info.flip.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom's Taxonomy): Could work with any level of the taxonomy, depending on what they student is asked to record in their video:  could be anything from recounting what they remember about a topic, to demonstrating their understanding in a presentation, to applying content and demonstrating that in a video, analyzing  situation in a video, evaluating a situation, or even creating a video to demonstrate their understanding of a topic/concept. Type of Learning Experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Seems to fit somewhere in the middle of the Cone (Exhibits, Field Trips, Demonstrations) if students are watching the work of other students showing their work or watching the instructor demonstrate actions or visit places.  But, can involve the student who is recording a video in options further down the Cone (Dramatic Participation, Contrived Experiences, Direct Purposeful Experiences) if student is asked ...

  Lucidchart https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): "Create, Evaluate, Analyze, Apply" (depending on task assigned to the student) Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): "Demonstrations" through "Direct, Purposeful experiences" (depending on task assigned) Integration of Tool for Teaching and Learning: Lucidchart has many uses.  It is a tool for creating online diagrams, and has a large library of symbols and templates to help with this.  It can also be used as a mind mapping tool for brainstorming, or to create Venn diagrams, flowcharts, and timelines.  Instructors may use it to visually depict class content in terms of processes or relationships among elements and concepts and share them with students either inside of Lucidchart or embedded in other documents and tools (Google Docs, for example).  If kept inside Lucidchart, an online diagram can be contributed to by an entire class or a group of students....
