Motivational Posters


Motivational posters are being used in classrooms to motivate students.  The posters are used to motivate and inspire the children to try their best, think in a different, and unique way.  In addition, the posters can also can be used to inform them of why education and school is important.  These are ways teachers can use the posters, however students can create these posters as well!  Interesting ways for students to use these posters in the classroom would be to make posters of what they learned and share with the class!

Some trouble that I experienced when making the poster was simply finding a picture.  It is often hard to find a picture that is copyright free.  When making this I struggled, I wanted to go to Google Images the whole time.  This is because it is faster and easier to find a picture you want to use, copyright free images lack in variety.  So i'll just have to check more websites out and try to find some that work better for me.

  1. Great poster...and you're right! Both students and teachers can use the posters they generate in a variety of ways. I've probably already mentioned it, but my favorite tool for finding copyright free photos at the moment is http://photopin.com and clipart at http://http://www.school-clip-art.com/
