The development of ICT has played a key role in making all types of data visual (visualization). The term visualization is used to generally refer to the use of optical media to make a subject more elaborate. We can transform figures into static or dynamic two- or three-dimensional images. This is especially useful for teaching a variety of subjects such as maths (graphs), special lessons (environmental education), geography (maps, atlases), history (historical maps, atlases) and so on. The present paper deals with an educational design in the teaching subject of Primary Geography. Geography is a comprehensive curriculum for studying a variety of topics. This lesson can be made more effective and permanent through the use of innovative tools that will increase the chances of correctly observing and acquiring knowledge into the classroom. One of these tools is information. This study demonstrates the use of Infographics, an innovative visual tool that is transformed into a reliable teaching tool in the classroom. Through visualization we present and narrate at the same time Europe's largest mountain ranges, doing a journey of images and words. Through an innovative visual tool, we will investigate the use of Infographics as a new instructional guide in the classroom. Infographics provide the reader with pleasant and comprehensible information by combining data with graphics. Infographics is a way of presenting information, which through visualization, narrates the event (information and data) with images and words in order to understand it faster and better. It is an educational best practice that encourages students to practice their digital skills required in a digital visual representation. This alternative idea includes a map, a bar chart with the highest mountain ranges and important information, which introduces students to the basic geophysical characteristics of Europe's mountain ranges. The innovation here is precisely the visual representation of knowledge through an alternative way of studying and evaluating it, enabling children to approach and compare data with one another.
