Cyber safety tips!

 Hi everyone, it's me again, your favorite ELT student. Today I'm going to talk about our infographic assignment, and what i picked as a topic.

We had different topics to choose from to create our infographic, such as cyberbullying, netiquette etc. I chose cyber safety and privacy because I think it is getting more and more important each and every day. Our lives are getting more integrated with technology with each passing day. Therefore, cyber security becomes more important. Anyway, after choosing the topic, we had to create an infographic. I have to say, if i did not take current teachings in ELT course last semester, this assignment would be harder. However, since I am more experienced now, this assignment was a breeze. Because I am more familiar with canva now, it was much easier to do than my first assignment for current issues in ELT course, for example (although this course was a precursor to that one, I'm doing it in reverse, haha).

As for why infographics are important in today's teaching landscape, I think it's because they draw attention. Students' attention spans are much shorter now than before because of predatory technologies, that is why infographics are good because they are not just simple texts, they use pictures, various colors, fonts etc. So I think we should use them more in our teaching life, maybe we could pin them somewhere in the class to make it always available. 

See you in my next post!
