What it is: Block Poster is a neat site that I learned about on Twitter. Block Poster lets you choose any image, choose how many sheets of paper wide you would like your poster to be, and then creates a pdf file of your new image that is blown up. The result is a massive pixel poster to hang on a bulletin board or the walls of your classroom.
How to integrate Block Poster into the classroom: It can be difficult to find good technology posters that relate to my classroom. I was thrilled when I learned about Block Poster. Any image can be turned into a poster that can be printed on any printer! So cool! Create posters with unique messages for your classroom, posters that include the names of your students, or motivational posters. I am currently creating a Wordle message for my classroom that will be made into a poster using Block Poster…I’m pretty excited about it!
Tips: The smaller the image is to begin with, the more pixellated the full size poster will be. This can be a neat look!
