Good educational graphics are eye catching, yet not distracting. The purpose of educational graphics can vary from one reason to another. I like to use clip art and Canva. These resources are great for adding a little something to a slideshow or creating a cute page with eye catching images.
Easel.ly is a really simplistic resource for creating eye catching infographics. There are built in templates for reports, slideshows, lesson plans and more.
With Bitmoji you can create and customize your personal avatar. It generates hundreds of images with almost any scene you could ask for and you can even type words in the program and it will generate images saying whatever you’d like. Using this tool in the classroom offers students a virtual way of “seeing” you, and offers students the ability to still feel like they’re there in class (virtual classrooms).

Getty Images of course provides free graphics and clipart for education.

Canva is a really cool tool that you can use on iPads, computers, phones, and anywhere you can download an app or access a webpage! By creating an account, everything you design will be updated across all devices. I really like this app for designing headers, finding cute clip arts, designing creative slides, and even in the creation of the banners on each page!
Stock Images is another free graphics and clipart resource.
