Piktochart: An Alternative to the common visual aid



In the age of Pinterest and other social media students are becoming more and more visual with their learning and wanting that. A great app I found for the easy creation of infographs can be found in the Google Chrome Web Store. The app has a free "Lite" version that provides the ability to make a completely customizable infograph or templates that can be used. The app also provides easy to use templates for presentations, posters and reports. 

My financial literacy class are using it this week as an introduction to investments and will be creating infographs on the different types of accounts that are available. The app can be used for a multitude of different purposes such as comparing and contrasting different viewpoints, visual aid for presentations or in place of the always popular PowerPoint or Google Slides. 

Anyone ever used Piktochart before? Leave us a comment and let us know your successes in the classroom.
