Bulletin Board Evaluation

I saw somebody else already did this one but being a Winnie the Pooh fan growing up I was immediately drawn to this bulletin board. The bulletin board has "layered" lettering which is very easy to read from a distance. On some informative bulletin boards doing the lettering this way could be distracting from information but this one seems to be purely decoration to support a particular theme so I think it's okay. The colors of the lettering add to the Easter/Spring theme. I found this bulletin board in room 205 of McKay during one of my classes. It had an appropriate theme for the time of the year it was displayed I think if this same bulletin board was in an early childhood or elementary classroom the children would love it because they are familiar with the characters. This particular bulletin board breaks the three color rule but it was necessary to have all the characters the proper color. What is also so creative and attention drawing is the fact that the bulletin boards is made with towels. There is a clear border to the bulletin board using plastic easter eggs that isn't too distracting. The only thing I do find distracting and would have changed are the two white bunnies in the front. There are already four Winnie the Pooh characters and I feel like they are the focus of the board and are enough for this board and the bunnies weren't necessary. Overall I think this is a wonderful bulletin board to support or enhance a classroom's theme of Easter or Spring.

Bulletin Board

I found this bulletin board in Room 205 of McKay Education Building. The title says: Help Pooh Find the Eggs. I found this bulletin board when I had night class around Easter time. I looked at it and was immediately drawn to it. The title is written with mixed letters and is a good size so it is easy to read. The colors on this board would normally break the three-color rule, but in this case I really think it works. Each character is made from a towel. And the colors make the picture because the creator used the real life colors of these characters. The bunnies at the bottom were a stuffed animal cut in half, and tree was made from tissue paper, they hot glue each plastic egg around the border, ad the flowers were fake. I think this bulletin board was outstanding. They had hidden eggs in there too; behing the animals or in the tree. I think it would be great for elementary children because it would draw their attention instantly and it is a fun way to celebrate Easter.

Bulletin Board

I saw this bulletin board in Spotts. The use of mixed casing is good. However, where it says "meet the faculty" could have also been mixed case. The concept of making the letters that say "building from the ground up" to increase in size is a neat idea to get their point across. They used a double lettering for the words "professional studies" to make them stand out. The size of the lettering is good. This bulletin board was in a hallway which was not wide at all. The bulletin board was easy to read when standing against the other wall. However, two of the names listed are in a different font size, I would have made them all the same size. To me they could have chosen better colors. The background color is kind of "blah." I would have used a brighter color. My only other criticism is that they should have either used all cartoon photos of the faculty or all real photos of the faculty. Some faculty photo's are real and the others are from the computer. Overall the bulletin board is organized and informative.

Bulletin Board

The bulletin board is from an elementary school in Indiana, PA. The letting is in all upper case letters but I feel that it is fine since it is a title for the board. They are large enough to read from a distance. The teacher definately followed the rule of 1/4 inch high every eight feet away. There is one main idea with the tree. At the bottom their are folders that have different colored leaves in them to match the folders. The folders are labeled "responsibility, honesty, loyalty, courage, love, justice, and respect". The students write their name on a leaf when they display an act of character. The color is appropriate when it comes the the tree being brown. The teacher did not follow the only three color rule but I think that it is ok in this situation since there is a strong point to having different colored leaves. The spacing is also great on this bulletin board. The writing of the students' names on the leaves is clear and ledigible and in mixed case. I like the fact that the bulletin board is somewhat interactive. The students add to it which I am sure they enjoy. Overall, I feel that the bulletin board is a great display.

Digital Photography

I thought the ideas that the article gave on uses of digital photography were excellent. I plan to use many of those ideas in my own classroom. Documenting the progress of a student's project is a great use. This expands experiments to home or longer periods of time. If an experiment can be for a longer length of time, the more that can be done with it, and the more students will learn about the specific topic being discussed!
