If you are looking for colorful, engaging infographics to teach content related to the “Common Core”, Easel-ly.com is the perfect resource. Now more than ever, teachers are looking for new ways to present content to their students in colorful and engaging formats. Easel.ly is an innovative tool that makes presenting Common Core content clear, concise, and creative.
Easel.ly provides the ability to create and share visual ideas online. Best of all, the visual themes, or vhemes, allow teachers to take an idea, skill, or concept and turn it into a pictorial image. An image could easily compare the protagonist and antagonist in a short story, aligning to the first Reading Literature standard. Or, perhaps, you are looking for a fresh graphic organizer to use for prewriting a friendly letter – Easel-ly is your source. When it comes to finding an infographic that compares two biographies, reviews text structures, or other CCSS, Easel-ly provides the necessary resources.
In seeking to earn the trust of educators, Easel.ly wants to help teachers easily create visual themes that make lessons memorable. Exploring our web site, teachers are greeted by pre-designed templates or the opportunity to “start fresh”. Whether editing our existing templates or creating new vhemes, the web site has a large number of objects, backgrounds, and shapes that make combining visuals with text to create lasting resources, handouts, and activity sheets. Connections between Easel.ly and the Common Core Standards are really as simple as taking the time to explore the web site with a lesson that incorporates one of the Common Core Standards.
Each week, we will spotlight one of the English/ Language Arts Common Core Standards. In fact, starting next week, examples will be provided to show how Easel.ly can assist in teaching the Reading Literature and Reading Informational standards. We are even going to tie in the Writing standards. At least one completed vheme incorporating a classroom activity will be provided to spotlight to “Easel.ly’s Core Content Standard of the Week”. It is our mission to show teachers our dedication to sharing the ease of aligning our infographics with the CCSS.
With Easel-ly, you do not have to worry because we will be providing age-appropriate activities incorporating our infographic vhemes on a weekly basis. Included in these vhemes, at no cost, will be “Easel.ly’s Core Content Standard of the Week” where a Reading Literature or Reading Informational Standard will be presented using classroom-tested resources and extension activities. We will prepare these weekly activities for K-2 classrooms, 3-5 classrooms, 6-8 classrooms, and 9-12 classrooms to match your needs.
Focusing on Common Core Standards, Easel-ly will help you align the CCSS one visual vheme at a time.
