Looking to spice up lessons when it comes to teaching complex material? Infographics may be your answer. These visual tools are a great way to make stories, facts, and data more digestible and engaging for students—and with infographic websites conveniently available at your fingertips, it doesn’t take much to create them. Here are some suggestions.

Choose from Easel.ly’s wide collection of graphic elements or upload your own images. You can also access hundreds of free articles and webinars to help get those creative juices flowing.

Inforgram also offers a collaboration platform where teachers can create team accounts for entire classes to get students involved in data literacy activities.

Piktochart

With a library of over 600 professionally designed templates, Piktochart is useful for pictorial infographics like flow charts, instructional steps, comparison posters, maps, and visualized articles.
