5 ways teachers can bring creativity into the classroom<\/span><\/h2>\n

The school year is planned and you know exactly what needs to be covered in the first month. But how do you infuse a little creativity into your classroom to get your students engaged? That’s where Picsart for teachers content comes in. Below, we’ve outlined five ways to bring creativity into the classroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Lesson plan templates<\/b><\/h3>\n

As the famous saying goes, failure to plan is planning to fail. But it doesn’t mention anything about creativity. These<\/span> free lesson planning templates<\/span><\/a> are a great resource for teachers, enabling you to plan out your classroom plan for the week with ease. You can also print them out for students as a way to track homework deliverables.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Create your own stickers<\/b><\/h3>\n

The<\/span> Sticker Maker tool<\/span><\/a> in Picsart lets you create custom stickers in seconds that you can add to visuals for presentations, worksheets, homework assignments, classroom design, and more. You can even print out your custom stickers and give them to students as rewards for a project well done. If you don\u2019t want to design from scratch, there are also tons of <\/span>free stickers<\/span><\/a> available in Picsart for teachers to easily add to back to school designs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Make interactive slideshows<\/b><\/h3>\n

Slideshows are an important school education tool for many teachers. But they don\u2019t have to be boring. Use the <\/span>slideshow maker tool<\/span><\/a> to quickly produce captivating video and photo-based slideshows for your next lesson. Simply upload your favorite images or videos, then add transitions such as fade and wipe for a dramatic effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus: this is also a fun assignment to give to students to share a recap of their summer or their favorite memories from the school year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Use a fun Zoom background<\/b><\/h3>\n

If your school is doing virtual learning, consider <\/span>changing your Zoom background<\/span><\/a> to match the lesson for the day or week or the general topic you teach. It\u2019s a fun way to get your students to focus on the screen and catch their attention at the start of class. For example, if you\u2019re a science teacher about to begin a lesson on the solar system, an eye-catching image of the planets or Milky Way will definitely get students to pay attention. There are tons of <\/span>free backgrounds<\/span><\/a> in Picsart or you can create your own using the pre-set canvas sizes so you know that your background image will display correctly when it\u2019s time for class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Decorate your classroom with fun printables<\/b><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s nothing more fun \u2013 and overwhelming \u2013 than having to decorate your classroom at the start of the year. Use <\/span>poster templates<\/span><\/a> to create your own posters matching your classroom theme for the year. The motivational templates and image templates are particularly great for classroom designs. Take photos of your students and change the background to fit your theme, then place over their cubbies or desks to get them excited for the year ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
