what is the strength of using piktochart?
ReplyDeleteHi Mau! Thank you for the question. :)
DeleteUse this tool anywhere numerical data is collected and is best shown in a chart. Collect data in a science, survey, or math class and display it using different graphs to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using each graph type. Use for quick creation and sharing of created graphs. Create charts together easily on an interactive whiteboard when introducing the different types. Use to portray different sets of data about a topic in a new and unique way.

DeleteIs it an alternative for powerpoint presentation or is it for advertisement, giving information etc. (poster type)?
ReplyDelete-not familiar with this medium
Good question Anjonette! Infographic is just like an advertisement, it only gives you a brief description of the next discussions (when it is related in education) and an infographic (information graphic) is a representation of information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily understandable at a glance. People use infographics to quickly communicate a message, to simplify the presentation of large amounts of data, to see data patterns and relationships, and to monitor changes in variables over time.
