Gold Quest-Infographics for PSA
made with easel.ly
Steps
1. With your partner(s) look at the example above and discuss how well it meets the following PSA characteristics, how would you rank it (1-to-5 with 5 the highest):
- Take a position with a message (such as don't give your password to a friend, be careful what information you put in a chat room, don' t be intimidated by bullying texts...)
- Deliver ONE core message that is convincing (supported with facts, images, examples...)
- Catch the attention of your intended audience with a clear message
- Create a slogan that is memorable and stands out, easy to remember, or uses an image that catches attention
2. It's time to begin working on your own PSA Infographic. Start by selecting your web application, and check with your teacher to make sure the infographic application you chose is available on your network and with your equipment. The two infographic choices suggested are easel.ly and popplet.
- easel.ly
- View the introductory video hosted on their site (hosted on Vimeo)
- Project example: Bullying
- How to Create an Infographic with easel.ly (YouTube video)
- Popplet is another infographic on the web, and also an iPad app, and requires account creation. You are limited to one free Popplet with a FREE account.
3. Collect your artifacts (images, photos, video clips, sound recording...).
- Review what copyright is
- Quickly review the Safe Search Image Resources video so you can save time searching and locating copyright free images you can use and/or modify.
- Create a folder (in a shared folder, cloud space, or portable drive if possible) and begin collecting the files you plan to use to illustrate your PSA ideas.
4. Create and complete your PSA Infographic.
5. When done check with your teacher on how to turn this in.
