Posters (and anchor charts) in the classroom can offer a students an easy visual reference and tool. What I have found is that pre-made posters have their own inherent problems. They are either too expensive, not relevant enough to instructional needs, or are just plain cookie cutter. Thankfully, through the use of Adobe's Photoshop, teachers can make posters that are relevant and engaging to student interests (engaging student interest is one of the foundations of effective teaching and best practices). Fully customizable posters, with vocabulary that is paired with the classroom (as opposed to an educational poster company stock photos and vocabulary). The next few posts will include downloadable examples of engaging (and student relevant) poster's.
With a plethora of instructional videos online, Photoshop's learning curve can easily be overcome.
