Web+Poster+Wizard

Web Poster Wizard is another tool that is available on the web. Teachers register and can create worksheets and posters on the site. Students receive a class code and can create their own posters which are automatically in the class's folder when the teacher logs in. The teacher has the power to manage everything in the class folders. The option is available to archive examples for future use or the works get deleted after a certain time period has expired. The limit that I have found with this tool is that it only allows for one picture, however; it requires the student to put in the location of where the picture is from when they put the picture in the poster. The benefits related to Web Poster Wizard include that it can hold up to about 4 and 1/2 pages of word processing information which is great if the project topic has a lot of content the student wants to include. It also allows the students to put links to other websites directly on their poster. The first time I used this, I allowed the students to link to all the sites they used for information rather than produce a works cited because I could check for plagiarism with the click of the mouse. In the future I will be including the works cited requirement because I think it's a valuable skill to learn in high school.
