Educational posters to inspire and remind students

Educational posters are a classic teaching aid that can breathe life into a classroom. Hanging
posters up on your classroom walls will not only invite color into the environment, they’ll also
act as helpful resources for students.

For example, here’s an educational poster that you could pin up in your classroom. The three
study tips on this poster are organized with a different colored background. This is a
simple poster design trick to help the information stand out. Meanwhile, this educational poster
uses icons to visualize each different type of learner. A poster with this layout this can be useful
for introducing students to new or foreign concepts (for example, words in a secondary
language) because they can associate each word with a visual.

2. Educational infographics to simplify complex information

Infographics are a perfect classroom tool because they can make complex information easier to
understand.

There are many different types of infographics you can create, depending on the information you
want to visualize. For example, you could make an infographic to summarize a new topic, to
show a timeline of events, to visualize statistics, to explain a process–and more.

For example, this educational infographic uses a combination of charts, icons and creative text to
show statistics about teens and social media. Visuals aids like these can be helpful for students
who have trouble wrapping their heads around big numbers.
3. Creative presentations to keep students engaged with a
lesson
We’ve all sat through boring presentations before. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume you
don’t want to be the one delivering a boring presentation!

A creative presentation template can go a long way to keep your students from snoring in the
middle of class. For starters, introduce bright colors and creative fonts into your slide design.
You can also combine photos, charts and icons to illustrate concepts.

For example, this creative presentation uses a bold color palette that give each slide impact:
4. Educational charts to make data accessible
Simple charts are another great visual aid for learning. They can make data more approachable,
and can also help reveal the stories behind data.

Charts are also handy tools for analyzing processes. There are plenty of opportunities for you to include
engaging visuals in your staff presentations, personal research, and more.
5. Student assessment reports with an approachable design
Since tracking students’ progress is an important part of a teacher’s job, why not make your
student assessment reports more engaging with a creative design?

Younger students at the preschool or elementary school level can find assessments particularly
stressful. A fun and playful design can help make a student progress report appear less
intimidating.You can also help students and parents understand their progress better by
summarizing their progress in a chart.
