future of education

In our digital age, which has been considered a "pictorial" one too, there is a growing tendency (if not to replace but) to complement writing with pictures. Just think about the development of advertising, for example. In the early times, textual persuasion abounded, while today we can hardly read any verbal "anchoring" next to the gigantic tell-tale images (of a half-naked woman, a smiley family, a juicy hamburger, or a potent car).

Infographics, a collage of images and text, is a very effective means of modern story-telling. It is capturing, informative, and easy to follow. I recommend both its application and its creation, for educational and presentational purposes. As an example, take a look at the image below: an infographic illustration of the history of education.*

Do you see that future coming? Do you embrace that future coming?
