July 16, 2015
Here is an interesting short video from Microsoft in Education showing you how to use PowerPoint 2013 to create educational infographics and design communicative visuals. The tutorial particularly highlights two key processes: the use of Merge Shapes  and Office Mix. The earlier provides students with five options to work on when designing shapes including: Union, Combine, Fragment, Intersect, and Substract. Each of these options is visually illustrated in the video. Office Mix is used to record slide narrations complete with video and digital annotations. For more web tools to use with students to create infographics, check out these resources.
