B. Poster Activity

Use the information you learned from the video, Protecting Reputations Online (2:30).

There are two options for creating your poster:

  • Low-tech: Draw your own or print out some copyright-free images and paste them on paper, use markers, etc. to make a poster, take a picture of it and share with your teacher per instructions. 
  • Techie: Use a word-processing tool (Google docs, Microsoft Office/365, or other) and include free images and add headline fonts or other features.

Here is a Poster Rubric for you to use when creating your poster.

Check with your teacher. They may have an educational account with a poster-making web site with specific directions for you. (e.g.; Canva)

FYI: Additional sites for copyright-free images are listed below in the Additional Resources section. In addition, you may want to add music from Mobygratis.
