This website is called Venngage. It is a website where students can make infographics, venn diagrams, resumes, proposals, posters, presentations, flyers, newsletters, etc. It would be an amazing cite to use for incorporating multimodal strategies in classrooms. There are templates for almost anything you can think of. There are opportunities to edit the template that include adding new pictures, changing the text, and designing your own template. I think that this resource could be used as an after reading activity as well as an interdisciplinary strategy. You could have students create a multimodal project that crosses content areas and requires then to represent their math data using a chart and their history data using a timeline. This website could allow students to have the freedom of creating each thing and then putting it all together in one presentation. It could also be useful after giving students a content related math and then asked them to create a infographic (or 3 useful tips) on how to multiply fractions. You even could give them information about protons, neutrons, and electrons and have students create a 3-way venn diagram relating the three terms.

This is a neat website that I could see being used for any content area. I could see students using this website for an after the reading activity to connect concepts or to create graphs based on the reading. I like how many different options they have so you can have students go on and decide amongst themselves how they want to represent the numbers and why they chose that particular graph or chart. This would also be great to use for projects to use as a way to display data they collect. I like the different designs they offer!
