Computer Lab Posters and "Techno Lovin' Birds" Theme

The school year is nearly upon us! It is time to create an inviting learning environment in the computer lab. I have decided to go with a variation of the popular angry birds theme which I am calling "Techno Lovin' Birds." Our campus mascot is the roadrunner so this theme will be perfect for my grade K-5 students. Since my school mandates that 75% of the room be comprised of authentic student work, I have to give careful consideration to the content of the remaining 25%.

My first task was to search and locate the font that is used for angry birds. I discovered that it is called Feast of the Flesh and can be downloaded for free (always a great thing for teachers!).

Since angry birds are so simple to create, I used the shape tool and made a roadrunner variation. Here is the poster that will be placed over my classroom sofa to create a collaborative work space. (I will be happy to share any of my editable documents if you would like them. Just shoot me an email using my address below).

I also need to post the 3-2-1 grading scale used and our classroom rules or, as I have called them, technology reminders.

Other excellent sources that I have found for lab posters:

• Ask a Tech Teacher
• Google Education Classroom Posters
• Bloom's Taxonomy Butterfly poster
• Pinterest board with technology lab decorating ideas
• Keyboard downloadable template #1
• Technology Rocks, Seriously! - I will be using this THINK poster on social media media from her collection. (Excellent posters here!)

Always on the look-out for other good stuff. Please share!
