TechKNOWLEDGEy Tips: Piktochart AND Easel.ly
Today you get a treat for your Technology Tuesday Tip: two for the reading price of one!
We wanted to offer you some variety in presentation opportunities. In addition to Smore and Glogster, these may be some great infographic building sites that give your students some relief from the "poster" assignment.
Click on the images to go to the tutorials that are brought to you by your friendly neighborhood ITS team.
Easel.ly is preferred by the ITS team; but I wanted to give you both as options to give your students.

Education: Go Get It! Week @ CeVMS
The students of CeVMS focused on getting an education during Education: Go Get It! Week and told us where they were thinking about, planning on, dreaming of, hoping to attending college one day. During advisory or on their own, students visited the Cedar Valley home page and placed their vote in the Answer Garden widget. Here's what it looked like on the Cedar Valley Homepage:

After polling was closed, the answers were exported easily to Tagxedo to create this great image:
Another cool part of EGGI Week was seeing all the places that Cedar Valley Staff and Faculty members attended college. A map of all of these post-secondary institutions was created and shared through Batchgeo.com. With this site, one can easily copy and paste a spreadsheet of information into the site and create a map. The map can then be exported as a Google Earth file. Check out our map:
