Create Stunning Visuals with Ease

Everyone learns differently. I am definitely a visual learner and love to see the concept or idea I need to learn represented in visual form. There are many students like me in your classroom who needs to see images, graphs, charts, and infographics to better understand the concept you are teaching. Creating stunning images does not have to be a time-consuming task. With these three tools, creating visual content is a breeze. Adobe Spark, Canva, and Easel.ly are my top three recommendations for easily creating stunning visuals for your classroom.

I use them all depending on the content I am creating and even assign student projects that include creating their own visuals.
