You will need enough copies for one set between 2 people, so for a class of 30 students you will need 15 complete sets of cards. It is a good idea to keep each set of cards in a separate plastic bag so the sets don’t get muddled together. There are 36 ready-to-use cards in each set. PLAY INSTRUCTIONS Split the class into pairs but if there is an odd number, one group can play as a three. Shuffle and deal out all the cards in a set, face down equally between each person in the pair/three. Players look at their top card only. Player 1 chooses and calls out their best category and value (e.g. “Weight – 544 Kilograms”). The other player(s) look at their own top card to check if they can beat the value for the same category (highest value wins). The player with the highest score for that category wins all of the cards that are being played and adds them to the base of their pile. The winner of the round chooses the category for the next round. The first player to collect all of the cards wins! Help your students learn how computing technology has changed over the years.

Here are all the parts needed to create an attractive display in your computer room to help explain to your students about their digital footprint. Buy the display set now and instantly brighten your computer room. HOW CAN YOU USE THIS DISPLAY? This display works well when positioned: on a display board in your computer room in the corridor or above your whiteboard. . PREPARING THE DISPLAY You have colour and black and white versions. Print only the relevant pages you need for your computer room display. Some pages may require more than one copy (i.e. the footprints to make a walking pattern). It is best to print the pages in colour, if you can, but I have included a black and white version too to help you save on printing costs. If you are printing in black and white you may wish to print them onto coloured paper to add a bit of interest in your classroom. I suggest printing the pages on card or laminating each page before cutting out the sections to give a more professional finish. Carefully cut out the sections and add them to your display space (making sure the letters are the right way up and in the correct order). I’ve include a suggested layout to give you an idea of how you can display these sections in your computer room however you may want to display it slightly differently to fit the space you have. What are you waiting for? Download this ready to use display pack now and get printing. They are sure to brighten your classroom.

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.
