A Good Guide to Graphic Design in Educational Technology.png) In this week's Practical Ed Tech newsletter I mentioned that I recently went on a bit of a quest to find research about the value of good graphic design in the context of education. Thanks to Google Scholar, I was successful in finding some good information about the value of well-designed slides in education. Along the way I also came across a helpful guide to graphic design in educational technology. In the summer/ spring 2021 issue of C2C Digital Magazine Renata Kuba published Presentation Matters: Basics of Graphic Design in Educational Technology. The guide does a good job of succinctly explaining and demonstrating key elements of good slide design. The guide covers how to use contrasting colors, differentiating fonts, and implementing the use of grids to help you design your slides. Presentation Matters: Basics of Graphic Design in Educational Technology can be read in its entirety on the C2C Digital Magazine website. I found the article through Google Scholar where a PDF version is available to download for free. On a related note, once you've read the guide you may want to start putting the ideas into action in Google Slides or Canva. I've recently updated my playlists of tutorials for both of those tools. The respective playlists are included below.

Fact Check Explorer is a tool that anyone can use to check the accuracy and origins of claims made in online articles. As I wrote last year, Fact Check Explorer isn't an infallible tool. That said, it can be a good tool to use to help students get a better understanding of the context around claims that they may have heard from other people and or read on the Internet. Last week Google announced that Fact Check Explorer will soon be expanding to include fact checking of images. This will enable users to upload an image or enter the URL of an image to discover where it was first used, the context that it was first used in, and where it has been used since it was first indexed by Google. The expansion of Fact Check Explorer is a beta feature. You can sign-up for the beta here. Video - Fact Check Tools from Google    More Recent Articles |
