Recently I was asked by a friend for a photo collage tech tool that does not require students to create accounts or logins. Collage or sometime known as a pictograph are often used by students or teachers to create a poster that sends a message through images. There are many tools out there for one to choose from; but the technology at hand will mostly determine which site or app may work in your classroom. For school use, I found picmonkey to be a very simple web tool that does not require software download or a login. If you plan to use the site often you have the option to create a free account and save your work within the site. To use picmonkey, simply visit the site and then select free trial to build a photo collage. Your design tools are located on the left side of the page. there you can choose your collage layout, design and colors. Above the collage is your sharing tools or your option to download the collage to your own device. The tools is very simple to use and here is an example pictured below. I have also used photo collage to combine images to create collage and posters. A drag and drop web tool, photo collage works with no installation requirements. Simply visit the page and use the available tools to drag images and organize them within your work space. When done, your new image can be downloaded to your device in various formats. I must remind teachers and students alike to be mindful of copyrights when combining images and photos obtained from non common attribution sources. Collage or Infographics using Google Drawing from G suiteIf your students have access to the Google Apps for education, I recommend Google Drawings as a collage tool which can also be enhanced to an infographic as well. In Google Drawings you can combine word art, text, images, shapes, and lines. With Google Drawings students can design their own logo for a club, project or idea. I have created my webpage logo throughout this page using Google Drawings.
