Does anyone know where i can get cool posters for my ICT teaching room or posters for a year 7 form class?

Question

I have just started teaching and am sorting out my teaching room, i am looking for posters about ICT (Anything about the hardware, software and health and safty) also i have been given a year 7 form and would like to put interesting information up for them.

I hope someone can help

Answer 1

Getting the Year 7's to design their own is not a bad idea.  However, for posters that deal with ideas that may be above a Year 7's knowledge I use:

www.daydreameducation.co.uk

They have a good range of posters for ICT.

Answer 2

The best way to decorate a classroom is for the kids to do it themselves. It adds originality and character. It gives them a chance to be creative and could be fun. You could set up a poster competition to do for homework or in class. The prize could be a box of chocolates,a chocolate or some highlighters or something. You could get them to do the same except make a poster about themselves (for form members). That will add a lot of character and make it feel like their form room. Poster design competition - thats what I think ya should dooo. Have fun.

Answer 3

I'm not entirely sure of a specific whereabouts, but, you could always ask hardware/software companies to send you some; I'm sure they'd be delighted to advertise to this specialized market and normally you can't tell it comes from them. I teach Interactive Media Design, but we share a department with networking/programming (practitioner students) who were provided posters from Belkin showing network topologies and structured diagrams of what computers are composed of.

Answer 4

Dude this is a simple answer, get all the year 7's to make them, THEMSELVES.

Messing about on clip art and things just tell them some information to put on them and off you go, the perfect start

Kids can put whatever background, pictures, colours they want and when they are up in the room it makes a good atmosphere.

Worth a shot sorry if i am way out

Answer 6

You can pick up decent posters from eBay, and occasionally there are some educational ones in Woolworths.

I agree with other answers, if the students take part in making the posters, they are more likely to actually remember the information.
