Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

This might not be daily news, but you should definitely read all about it!


Most educators favor modernized teaching approaches at the advantage of students.  You probably think this is a dumb statement because it is common knowledge.

BUT, many of these same educators neglect to recognize the students who are perfectly capable of conducting their own research because they have prior experiences.  When educators underestimate students capabilities, it causes their teachings approaches to be very ineffective.


Because many educators often overlook students’ research capabilities, I decided to create an influential guide to effectively approach students.  I digitally designed an infographic composition to be used as a handout, or even incorporated in to a pamphlet to be distributed to educators at teaching conferences or meetings.

Here is an image of what it looks like…

At the top of my infographic composition, I included the title, Modern Learning Approaches, and a digital drawing of SCU’s library.  The background of these items is a navy blue and is arrow-like shape towards the bottom to guide the audience to what to me are the aspects of modern learning approaches that are effective. Then, to concisely present an helpful guide to approaching students, I created five key steps.  The background of each step is orange; however, to make each step even more distinguishable from the other, I alternated every other step with a more salmon-like orange.  Oh, and I gave a description of every step with a corresponding icon.


By constructing an infographic composition, I found it very easy to present the content of my argument to the audience.  I also thought creating this to be very enjoyable because I am creative and find pleasure in designing various items… honestly, I am a perfectionist when it comes to designing things, so it is probably unhealthy that I enjoy crafty things.

      

Like I made the what should be the easiest aspect of the assignment difficult because it was challenging for me to find symmetrical icons that properly represented my steps and their descriptions.  Overall, I consider this composition as an effective and positive representation of my ideas.
