General Resource Making

POSTERS


Glogster - Makes great interactive posters that students can acess online including sound clips and videos. Can even make posters and print them out for class.


Tagxedo  - Can make key word collages in the shape of an image of your choice. I can use this personally for posters for the wall or students can record key words and make their own versions to present to the class.


Wordle - Similar to Tagxedo, can make word clouds out of key words.

Flaming Text - Good to make different text and titles for worksheets, websites or posters.


Comic Life - Programme available for Mac and Windows to make comic strips and posters, good to illustrate cooking recipe steps or processes such as step by step how to cut an onion.
