Who needs Photoshop? I use BingBanners and their Online Design Center to get great "poster quotes" to inspire my students -- and students can show what they can do with what they learned by making posters

Click on the
ONLINE DESIGN CENTER

Here are the steps to making an excellent "poster quote" for social media.   The system at BingBanners.com is easy to learn and it trains students in how to save their work for later improvement.

"Constant improvement" and "it takes time to make good wine" are supported by BingBanners.  The core of writing and learning how to communicate is being abve to re-write.  Rewriting happens when it's easy to get back to what we wrote yesterday.  BingBanners makes that EASY!.

Step 1:  Go to BingBanners.com

Here is the home page.
Click on the Design Center, located
under the upper left hand corner

Remember to SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!   I've created over two dozen posters and I didn't buy them.  I just used the screen shot to share with friends.   Then I later ordered some of the posters if the clients liked the design.


Here's an example of a poster that one of my students designed.








I like this system so much, I created a video.

A student's first website.

All Students Should Have a Digital Portfolio.

The world wants to know ... What can you do with what you have learned?

Tony Wagner knows about students who are making a second and third attempt.

Tony Wagner dropped out of college twice and finally graduated from a small experimental college.
He taught at-risk students at a high school for five years before becoming a professor.
