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.

Here is a set of computer room lettering you can use to instantly brighten up your classroom and add an identify to the classroom. Great for displays in both the classroom and in corridors or hallways.
Buy the lettering pack now and instantly brighten your computer room.
HOW CAN YOU USE THESE LETTERS?
These letters work well when positioned:
above a display board,
on your door way,
in the corridor or
above your whiteboard.
.
PREPARING THE LETTERS
Decide what you want your message to say. The letters have been grouped together to make this easier and require the least printing pages possible. The letters spell out the following:
ICT
COMPUTING
COMPUTER SCIENCE
There is even a page which includes the & symbol and the letters AND
There are also a couple of images, showing a laptop and a desktop computer
.
Print only the relevant pages for the message you want displayed for example “ICT & COMPUTING”. It is best to print them in colour, if you can, but I have included a black and white version too. 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 lettering on card or laminating each page before cutting out the letters to give a more professional finish. Carefully cut out the letters 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 couple of suggested layouts to give you some ideas.

Create an attractive display in your computer room to help explain to your students how to use the popular programming technique of rubber duck debugging.
This resource includes all the elements required to create a main display and also includes handy, smaller posters to dot around the room as visual prompts to students and “flat ducks” that can be stuck to desks for pupils to talk to if you don’t have any 3D ducks available.
Buy this ready-to-use resource now and instantly brighten up your classroom with a display that is both engaging and useful.
HOW CAN YOU USE THIS DISPLAY?
This display works well when all three sections are combined using:
a display board in your room for the main display
several smaller posters at eye level for use when pupils are sitting at their desks and
a small “flat duck” stuck next to their computer on their desk (ideally so it looks like the duck is looking at the screen)
.
PREPARING THE DISPLAY
You have colour and black and white versions. Print only the relevant pages you need. You may need to print some pages more than once (i.e. the rubber duck images).
It is best to print the pages in colour if you can, but I have included a black and white version too. If you are printing in black and white you may wish to print them onto coloured paper/card to add a bit of interest in your classroom.
I suggest printing the sections for the wall display on card or laminating each page before cutting out the sections to give a more professional finish. Carefully cut out all 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 also included a suggested layout to give you an idea of how you can arrange the main display. However, you may want to arrange it slightly differently to fit the space you have.
Add the smaller individual posters at eye-level height as a prompt for the students when they are working. Finally, if you do not have any rubber ducks for your students to talk to you can use the printed “flat ducks” as a substitute. Cut out the smaller ducks and stick them to the desk (preferably facing the monitor) which students can talk to.
What are you waiting for? Buy this resource now and add instant impact to your classroom, the easy way.
Why not also download my FREE rubber duck debugging lesson? It includes an easy-to-follow PowerPoint presentation and 3 Python programs for the students to debug. Click here to find out more.

WHAT DOES IT COVER?
With virtually no preparation (apart from photocopying the single page worksheet) you will be ready to teach about your classes about:
The clock-speed of the CPU
How cache is used by the CPU and increasing the cache size can affect the performance
How the number of cores can increase the processing power but does not always mean a dual-core processor can complete twice as many fetch-decode-execute cycles in the same time
