Carnival Infographic poster

Carnival Poster

I worked on an infographic poster for a carnival school event. After working in both Piktochart and Canva, I got a feel for both of them.  The two posters are below. I will see which one the Carnival team likes best.  Under the posters are my thoughts on each.

Thoughts on using Canva.

  • I found more free images that I liked. 
  • It doesn't provide an embed code. You can post to facebook or get the link to your work. 
  • Also to download the jpeg or a PDF, you need to pay for any of the images or templates that you used. I tried to use free images and didn't realize that I chose a template that costs $1. This poster will cost $1 which I will pay after I make final changes..Maybe this isn't that costly as a monthly upgrade on Piktochart is more expensive.
  • Canva has tutorials on graphic design.  https://designschool.canva.com/tutorials/

Thoughts on using Piktochart.

  • I like the option to embed and present from the publish Piktochart site.
  • It was pretty easy to use.
  • I didn't find as many templates, backgrounds or images as I would have liked.  I would have purchased the pro version but it seems quite expensive. The lite version is $15 per month and the pro at $29 per month.

    Your posters are great - very professional. I used your link to Canva and played with it but had little luck with finding free images I wanted. Everything seemed to be another dollar. I guess I don't have your magic touch! Oh well.

      FYI- I made some changes to the Canva designs and found I had to upload a lot of images. Might be a work around to upload images.

Formative Assessment Tools

Formative assessment is a process and the articles that fit tools into categories or parts of this process were most helpful to me.  I looked at using Google Forms Quizzes, Socrative, and Kahoot all of which can be used to check for understanding. Google Forms is a great way to assess what your student learned in a lesson.  I use Google Forms quite often but haven't looked at the new self-grading quizzes.  After creating a new quiz, in the settings, you can turn on "Make this a quiz".  Teachers can choose the correct answer in the answer key and assign the points for the the question.  I also really like that you can add feedback for when the question is answered correct and incorrect.  This immediate feedback can help students when they are still interested and have their mind on the  topic.   Google Forms can be used at an exit ticket, mid-lesson check, or within a blended setting where students are working at their own pace...
