My Take
Rather than writing more, my students write less. They have to boil down everything they learn about a subject in an efficient and effective way. Playing with the graphics can waste piles of time, so keep them on task and their work will look great.
How I Use It
Organizing your thoughts graphically is one thing, presenting your thoughts is another. This tool will help students create an infographic with tools that best illustrate their thoughts or research. It's just a more 21st century way to package and present information.

A great digital collage platform bringing infographics to the forefront of learning
I love Piktochart as it becomes easier to use with time. Newsletters can be saved as a template to be renamed for a different purpose with different content. Students have used these to collect information and connect to valuable resources.

Excellent tool for creating posters!
This is a great tool for students. There are so many icons, fonts, and templates available that it is best to have a specific task in mind for students so they don't spend too much time on that setup. This tool is great for both teachers and students to use, ie book reports, country reports, infographics, presentations, etc. There are so many ways to use this tool!

Your students will be making infographics in a snap!
I would not recommend this for particularly younger children - having used it reasonably successfully at the higher end of primary school it may work as low as Y4 but only then if you have really specific information you want to impart. With over 300 free templates there is bound to be enough to keep your class going, and used as a poster creation tool it has creative possibilities galore. The end result you can produce is a lot more polished and professional than anything you can make in Powerpoint or Word - many teachers' go-to even in 2016 for such tasks. Piktochart is worth a look - your poster for the next bake-sale doesn't need to be curved rainbow Word-Art, although if you're reading these reviews you probably knew that anyway!
