Poster Maker Software for School Teachers (Windows and Mac)

A simple program to make your own poster!

PosteRazor is a software that easily helps you make your own posters at school and at home. All that you need is a picture, the PosteRazor and a standard color printer.

 

Why is a poster so appealing? Maybe it’s because a poster is more than a photo. It is something that captures life in greater width and height. That’s why posters also easily become keepsakes.

The PosteRazor cuts an image or a picture into pieces which can afterwards be printed out and assembled to a poster. The resulting poster is saved as a multipage PDF document.

Best Teaching Advice for New Teachers

I was reading not long ago an article on Education Week about the best advice for new teachers. The article had many good points, but my I would like to emphasize this one:

Watch other teachers teach. You will probably have to arrange this yourself. But do it, even if it means taking a fake sick day in November to watch colleagues in another school. Do it during your planning period, too. Good teachers will be flattered when you ask permission to sit in their classes for a half-hour. Once you watch a dozen other teachers, you'll have a baseline for measuring your own successes and screw-ups, plus a basket of field-tested techniques. 

It is all about growing and learning everyday. Do not get stuck. Your teaching techniques will get rusty as you get too comfortable in your room thinking that you know everything. 

Fellow teachers give us your opinion about the best piece of advice you ever got. You can join this amazing Linky party at Dragonflies in First and share with us all your opinions.

Meeting Up with Other Teacher Bloggers

Fonts 4 Teachers is meeting with fellow bloggers Teacher to the Core and Second Grade Sparkle, and whoever wants to join us. Apparently, the meeting place will be in Southern California, to be exact in beautiful Orange County. The tentative date is March 23 at 12:00 pm.

My only fear is that I think I will be the only guy there. So hopefully some other male teacher bloggers join us and have a blast. Well anyways the idea is awesome and we can learn a lot from each other.

Think of joining us!
