Infographics
For this blog post, I will critique three top infographic
makers: easel.ly, piktochart.com, and infogr.am
After reviewing the three infographic makers, I ultimately
decided to go with piktochart.com for my assignment. Though each one
essentially performed the same job, I found piktochart.com to be the easiest to
use. Though this might seem a bit unrelated, but it’s worth noting that the
tutorial videos on YouTube for piktochart.com were also the most comprehensive
of all three. Infogr.am started with an example written in another language
which really made me think twice about it.
Another
aspect that made me choose piktochart.com was the variety of editing tools it
had. It definitely had more free editing
tools than easel.ly. As for infogr.am, I didn’t offer much for free either.
Piktochart.com on the other hand, had a lot of free backgrounds and chart
styles.
Here is
a very dressed down version of the many things you can do with piktochart.com:

I think it is a great point that the tutorial videos on YouTube for piktochart.com were so comprehensive! This is a wonderful thing to know when assigning a lesson to a student that might not be as technologically advanced as others.
