RECYCLING INFOGRAPHIC

Hello ladies and gentlemen!


Today, I will show you how can we use infographics in our lessons. I have elaborated a recycling infographic to explain some information about this topic to our children.

Infographics are a graphic visual representation of information to present it in a quick and clear way. It can be very useful for you as teachers to capture your student´s attention. For them, it can be a tool for developing their own creativity and it can help them organizing information.

Thanks to this presentation, our children will know different information about the topic, just having a look. They will be able to identify top 5 recycling countries in Europe, the color of the recycling bins and how long different materials take to decompose. I will explain it in the next paragraph.

The infographic is related to the area of Natural Science. Through this file, our students will be able to obtain in a visual and quick way, information about some of the recycling data of different European countries. The top 5 recycling countries in Europe are Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway, and Austria.

Our students can also study the different colors used in recycling (green, blue, yellow and orange) and how recycling works.

Finally, I have included some materials and the time they take to disappear. Thank this presentation we can make our students aware of the importance of recycling.


There are many tools we, as teachers, can use. Here are some of them:- Easel.ly
- Picktochart
- Canva
- Smore
- Mural.ly
- Padlet


For this task, I have used PiktoChart, a web-based infographic application which allows users without intensive experience as graphic designers to easily create infographics and visuals using themed templates.

The thing I like about Piktochart is its visually compelling templates, their animated icons, and shapes, the charts to visually demonstrate a statistical result. The ability to design a long infographic with a lot of ease even when you don´t have experience as a designer.

That´s what makes Piktochart the best there is. The worse of this app is that there are some things that you can only use if you have a premium account.

Thanks to this work, I learned the importance of using infographics that have a lot of education possibilities. At first, it was a little complicated because I did not know how to use the application. However, when you start working with Piktochart, you learn to the resources and to organize the space. I am sure that I will use infographics in my classroom, especially in P.E. because it is a visual an active subject.

Here is my PiktoChart link. I hope you like it! See you next time!
