Applications of Visualize.us in education

The first thing is that i don't recommend it for students to use it alone , a teacher can create a classroom account where to collect all the pictures students will be using . It is a good tool for storing pictures for a later use at school . Because pictures are very sensitive materials in education then teacher ‘s discretion is highly recommended .
That’s it about Visualize.us : Bookmark ,Store , and Share Pictures Online .
