Make sure students are aware of copyright laws. Use this site to encourage the proper use of photographs for which students have authorization. Model including appropriate photo credits on the posters. Check out the Big Huge Labs educator account. Easily pre-register students to avoid creating logins, view and download their creations, and view the site advertisement-free. You will find information about the Educator Account here.Younger students can use this tool together as a whole-class activity or simply enjoy the posters their teacher creates. Have students create a picture about a unit topic with a caption using new terms learned. For example, create posters on predators and prey or on animal classifications. Students can create a poster of a study skill or learning activity that helps them learn. Create a caption that explains how the student learns best. Every subject area can use this resource to create interesting presentation posters for display or as springboards for discussing what was learned. For example, in Biology, students could create a poster on a cell part with a clever caption highlighting the importance of its function. In Literature or History, students can create posters about the perspectives of others in the story or in that historical period. Rather than a traditional research project, have cooperative learning groups use this site to show their knowledge in any subject area. Ask students to apply concepts such as constitutional rights by illustrating them in poster images with captions. Teachers can create bulletin board images, as well. Have a classroom motivation poster competition to start off the school year! Share the winners on your class wiki or in a PowerPoint presentation at back-to-school night/open house. As special occasions approach, have students bring in or take a digital photo they can turn into a poster as a family gift, with their own inspirational saying. Create a portfolio of 6-word stories, utilizing a powerful picture and 6 words to demonstrate the concept that was learned. Assign students the task of posting their project on a blog, with a more detailed explanation of their understanding of the concept depicted in the picture.
