Poster Production - Get Inspired with Automotivator Automotivator is an online poster generator that allows users to create motivational posters that can be shared with other 2.0 applications, such as wikis and blogs.

Users can upload an image from their computer or another web site, select the font style and color, and then type the motivational message. Automotivator is a free service, and users do not need to register for an account to utilize this “cool tool”. Check out a the student example shown below: Classroom Connection: If you’re looking for an easy way to integrate technology into a lesson, then Automotivator is just the tool for you! Another idea: Instead of creating posters with the latest music or sports stars on them, photograph students from your class to create motivational posters with “real people” in them.

Each of the participating classes focused on "A View From the Window" of their school in a different way. Our page (containing photos and text created by the students) is first, but it is fascinating to see what all of the other classes have created as well.

November 2011 Open-plan classrooms have left trailing behind them somewhat of a legacy in terms of the way we think about newer open learning spaces. One legacy in particular, I suspect, is an enculturated hesitancy for schools to open up spaces again.

Imagine you'd spent several years teaching in an open-plan space back in the seventies or eighties and you hadn’t enjoyed it. It is not entirely surprising to hear then that those teachers who taught in these spaces earlier in their careers are viewing our new teaching and learning environments with some suspicion. The tendency it seems is to superimpose 'open-plan' memories onto new open learning spaces and to recall all that that represents.
