What is PosterMyWall?
PosterMyWall is an online tool to create
posters and flyers. It is very well known for its easy-to-create, high quality,
affordable custom graphics. This tool allows users to create posters and
collages from the users’ photos, and from albums on Facebook (even your
friends' albums). It also provides background art and easy to use tools to make
professional looking posters fast and easy.
How can this tool be applied in the classroom?
This tool can be applied as a project after
reading a book or to revise vocabulary items. Students can choose from the many
ready-made templates available on the website and make some changes so that the
poster fits the students’ needs. If they do not find anything suitable, they
can start from scratch and create a whole new poster.
Why should teachers choose this online tool?
Teachers should choose this tool because it makes the creation of
professional looking posters and flyers fast and effortless. As Nik Peachey (2010)
mentions in his manual, many new tools were not originally intended for
education, but can be put to good use by students and teachers alike to extent
opportunities, enhance learning potential and develop the level of digital
literacy.
