My Cool Tool: The Infographic

Today, I would like to introduce a tool called the infographic. Simply put, an infographic is a visual representation of information. There are many  sites available that can help you create your own infographic including:
Infogr.am: https://infogr.am/app/#/home
visual.ly: http://visual.ly/
mashable: http://mashable.com/category/infographics/

This tool would be useful in my class to visually represent vocabulary, grammar, and would be great for representing information about specific Spanish-speaking countries.

In today's world, no matter how much it scares me, I know that I have to embrace technology and learn to treat it as a friend and not an enemy. I have chosen to not remain ignorant of the many ways technology can help to enhance my lessons as well as my students' learning experience. I hope that by the end of this course I will be a Technophile instead of a techno-know-nothing.
