Now that you have explored ALL the resources.........

YES, explore all the resources above, you should have lots ideas of what you might create for your students in your classroom. Like always it must have a connection to the content/curriculum you plan to teach someday soon.


REMINDER: there are lots of great resources to add to your Pinterest. Consider adding a board and name it Image resources or something that makes sense to you. It will help you get to that 150 and help in your future! I have one called Clipart/Image/Graphics.


Go back to the first resource in the list a the top by Tony Vincent. You will create one similar to his, what I mean by that is SQUARE-ish (Instagramish), of course, it needs to be original, not just a copy one of Tony Vincents, it needs to tie into your content area and be original!!


  • What APP do you need to use to CREATE your lesson graphic? It is your choice....You could use CANVA, Desygner, Google Drawing or Keynote, or ?????.
  • NOTE: Many of these apps have lots of icons built-in icons to use but maybe not exactly what you need, branch out!!!!
  • It will be an image when you finish, in other words, needs to be a .PNG file or .JPG file.
  • There are plenty of ideas in the articles above.......as well as suggestion of how to make.
  • Have a little fun with this, but tie it to your curriculum what you plan to teach someday.
  • Post your IMAGE (PNG or JPG) to Seesaw and also Padlet.
