* Safe and fun for all ages and perfect for classrooms. Everything is safe and secure!" Julie S., Elementary Instructional Technology Consultant I love the option to turn off the image search in the settings and how social media sharing is not allowed. "PicCollage EDU is by far one of the easiest and safest apps I have run across for elementary learners. Easily create amazing collages with PicCollage EDU and save them to your device or print them out! PicCollage EDU also offers hundreds of free backgrounds, fun stickers, and fonts. With no account required to use the app and no social sharing features, it's perfect for young children and for classroom use. Lastly, students can email completed collages to the teacher or save them to the photo library for review.From the creators of PicCollage, the hugely popular photo app with over 200 million downloads, PicCollage EDU is the SAFEST and most user-friendly collage app available. Additionally, teachers could require that each collage includes the vocabulary word, its ranking, a picture of the word, and a sentence that justifies the word’s ranking. Given key unit vocabulary words (10 max), students can use Pic Collage to create a collage for each vocabulary word and rank them by importance, where 1 represents the most important word and 10 represents the least important word.Completed collages can be emailed to the teacher, saved to the photo library, or be used as an exit slip. Lastly, students can be instructed to include one to three sentences summarizing the text that connects to or references their picture and key words. Proceeding, students then add six key words from the text that also connect with the chosen graphical representation of the text’s main or central idea. To do so, students first import an image that represents the text’s main or central idea. After reading a text, students can create a visual and written magnet summary ( ) of the text using Pic Collage.Once the sentence explaining the connections between the vocabulary words is composed, the student or group of students who created the collage would be responsible for sharing their explanations as to how they had associated the pictures and words. Classmates could then be responsible for creating a sentence that justifies how they believe the vocabulary words are associated. To add a twist to the assignment, collages containing pictures only (without text) can be shared with classmates. Finally, students compose and add a sentence to the collage that explains how the vocabulary words are connected. For example, students working individually or in small groups select and add pictures to the collage that represent each word. Given a bank of vocabulary words, students can use Pic Collage to create a collage that represents associations between three to five words.Lastly, students can email completed collages to the teacher for grading. Next, using the text feature in Pic Collage, students can include synonyms and/or antonyms for the word, or create a sentence that demonstrates correct usage of the word. To do so, students would first import a graphical representation of the word-either with the use of their own photos or by searching the Internet. Given a tier-two or tier-three vocabulary word, students can create collages using Pic Collage to showcase a visual representation of the vocabulary word.
