For Teachers

Beautiful Ideas for the Classroom You Can Design with Piktochart for a number of suggested uses, including creating a bedazzled syllabus, teaching skills, making a social media contract, and design fun classroom posters. 

For Students

Math: To help students understand that different visualization strategies are appropriate for different data and different situations, you could have them extract data (numbers) from one infographic, and then present that same data in a different form. For example, they could take the numbers from a bar graph and try to present it as a pie chart.

Science: Create digital posters in Sociology class, that would be culturally relevant and reflect the diverse background of students in the class. For example: creating posters of African-American scientists that were innovative and contributed things that we still use today.

Geography: Students use infographics to understand how a place, population, or culture changes over time. Students might create their own maps that offer a “before and after” view of a place, using two or more maps, other documents or historical photographs.

Government and Civics: Students fact-check and annotate an infographic about government policy or politics. Or, students can use or create infographics to test classmates’ knowledge of historical facts in creative ways like having them identify American presidents and first ladies by hairstyle alone.

Physical Science: Students use existing or original infographics to explain a process to the class. 

Language Class: For example, in Spanish, students study the food and culture of a Spanish-speaking country.
