Step 1: Get your graphics in line
Skitch
Great For: basic editing, cropping, labeling, highlighting, blurring (think kid's faces or personal info, license plate). Student Project Example: Learned Behavior vs. Inherited Traits (story from in-class coaching)
PicCollage
Great For: Making collages of pictures...like it sounds. Nice variety of templates & very simple to use. Student Example: (My example really... Tucker & the Log) Photo Story
Easel.ly
Great For: Creating infographics with pretty templates, icons & graphics. Download as jpg or share link. Student Example: Process of book list creation
