Infograph and Toys for Learning - Visualization

Challenge:

In this data driven world, learning and analyzing data becomes really important. But current approach of  teaching graphs is subpar to say the least.

Hence, my company will use simple pictures, vibrant colors to explain and analyze data among school  students.

Selection:

Tool selected for the project is basic drawing in paper then using MS Office applications to teach digital  representation of data.

Pictures chosen for infographs are done via surveys in various schools, colleges and different age groups.

Application:

So, firstly students are taught basics of every graph using standard books. Then rough sheets are given  with a problem statement asking student to solve it with what was taught.

After the evaluation, students are given a detailed feedback explaining what they did right, what they  did wrong and most importantly how can they improve.

After this, we give them various toy like shapes and images with which they have to use these to solve a  new question. This activity makes sure that students learn while having fun.

Lastly we teach, them infographic in MS Word.

Insight:

Pen and paper approach was significantly overshadowed by Toy based learning approach. Survey after  the session showed that student had better understanding of using numbers, images and shapes to  make smart and informative graphs.

Approach:

Moving on, we will first teach toy based learning as it sets the rhythm for the session and gives high  morale to students and teacher alike.

After toy based, using Augmented Reality – Virtual Reality Devices and Applications for better  visualization of data.

Then using traditional pen paper approach followed by MS Word.
