Visme - Great Tools for Making Flowcharts and Mind Maps | Free Technology for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Visme is a graphic design tool that I've been using off and on for the last five years. Back when I started using Visme it was known as EWC Presenter and it was a good tool for designing slides and infographics. Recently, Visme added new flowchart design templates and tools.

10 Visual Storytelling Rules Every Digital Marketer--and Student-- Needs to Know

10 Visual Storytelling Rules Every Digital Marketer--and Student-- Needs to Know | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Samantha Lile writes: "Long ago, storytellers were wise old men and women who conveyed tales of the ancients and lessons learned through the ages. Later, stories were told by authors, playwrights and directors. But thanks to technology, anyone can now become a storyteller, a reporter and a publisher.

 

Visual storytelling, in particular, has emerged as an important trend in web and graphic design, as well as other forms of marketing in the digital era – and for good reason. The visual cortex is the largest section of the human brain. According to a 2008 study, the average person remembers about 10 percent of what they hear when tested 72 hours later. But when visuals are added into the mix, the figure increases to 65 percent."

I found this via Lee Watanabe Crockett's post, but wanted to share Samantha Lile's full version. Lately I've been focused on students as consumers of digital information. It's important to remember they will be--indeed, they already are--creators of digital information, too! 

 

We'll be doing a digital storytelling project later this year, so I'll be sharing these tips with our student authors.

Think “Outside the Slide”: Using PowerPoint for Graphic Design

Think “Outside the Slide”: Using PowerPoint for Graphic Design | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
A significant part of my job involves creating graphic designs. While I can make my way around Photoshop, InDesign and Premiere well enough when I have to, PowerPoint is my tool of choice for 99% of my design projects. I’m not telling you that PowerPoint can do everything those other tools can do but I am saying it can probably do WAY more than you think it can.
