What are the advantages and disadvantages of using posters at school?

Answer 1

If you are a student, then a poster can add visual interest to your topic and help to keep you audience focused on the message of your presentation. If you are a teacher, posters can help make learning fun because they allow some creativity (and if done in class, they can eat up some time.) Many people use the free poster tips and tools at http://www.artskills.com to help them make better poster designs. There is even a free poster design book being given away on their site.

Answer 2

*If the poster is not on topic or a poorly made poster, it becomes a prop of distraction for the students.

*Posters can be costly, so not all schools can afford the cost offset of using props for learning.
