Here is a set of posters you can display in your classroom to remind students of the computer room behaviour expectations and rules. An instant bright and cheerful classroom display that is both attractive and useful. It also doesn’t hurt for other teachers to be reminded of the rules when they are using the computer lab! Buy them now and instantly brighten your computer room. WHAT IS INCLUDED? This pack of posters includes 25 attractive posters provided in both full colour and black and white to help you save on printing costs. . One eye-catching poster is provided per page. Simply pick the rules you want to display, print them out and they are ready to go on your walls immediately. HOW CAN YOU USE THESE POSTERS? For instant impact, display the posters in a group somewhere noticeable. Use them as a prompt to talk to your class about rules at the start of the school year, or for whenever they need a quick reminder of the computer room expectations. Alternatively, you can position the posters individually around the room in the most appropriate locations i.e. you can put the poster “Do Not Print Without Permission” near the printer, or the reminder to log off near the clock (which they may glance at as the lesson nears its end). Of course, it is your classroom with its own unique layout so feel free to position them as you feel would have the most impact. To help keep the behaviour rules fresh in the pupils’ minds, it is worth considering moving the posters occasionally as this will help pupils (and other teachers) notice them again. PREPARING THE POSTERS You can easily print out the individual posters you want as we have created one poster per page. You can use as many pages or as few as you like. I recommend picking 4 or 5 of the most important from all those available. More than that tends to get too confusing for the pupils. You have a choice of colour pages or you have exactly the same posters in black and white. If you are printing in black and white, please consider printing on coloured paper to add a little more interest. Laminating the posters will give a more professional finish and help prolong the life of your posters. There are some very similar posters to cater for American and UK phrasing and spelling. Use the most appropriate for your classroom. What are you waiting for? Download this ready to use pack of posters now and get printing. They are sure to brighten your classroom along with helping students know your expectations. FREE BONUS PRODUCT INCLUDED As a special thank you for purchasing this product I am pleased to be able to also include a surprise FREE bonus gift.
