Noun Project is an excellent platform that provides tons of visual symbols and educational icons to use in your posters and infographics. The process is very easy, you simply type in your search query and sift through the results till you find the icons you want to use then drag and drop them into whatever you are working on. We have been tinkering with Noun Project app for Mac and found it really worth the shout-out here.
Noun Project provides over 100,000 icons and symbols uploaded by users from all around the world. These clip art icons are particularly ideal to use with the visuals you create for your class. And if you are using the Mac app, you will no longer download icons from the website , the app allows you to easily drag and drop raster and vector icons into your favorite apps (e.g Mail, Messages, PowerPoint, Sketch, Adobe CC Apps and many more).
Although Noun Project comes in two versions: a free and a pro one. The free plan offers more than 3 million icons in two main formats: PNG and SVG.The paid plan of the Noun Project does not require attribution and offers way more features including: an editor to change icons' colour and background, unlimited icon licenses, multiple custom favourites boards, ad-free site, the ability to share icons across team,and more. Free photos on the Noun Project are licensed under the Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) allowing you to use them with added attribution to the designer and/or site.
The Noun Project is one of the six main clip art icons resources I recently published here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. Check out the other five platforms to access a huge library of free clip art icons, illustrations, and several other design assets. You can easily integrate these assets in your lessons and multimedia projects. Almost all of those sites provide free plans with access to a growing library of clip art icons. If you are interested in creating your own design assets for your classroom check out these digital maker tools instead.
