A Bright Beginning; A Sweet
Result How photosynthesis works This is an example of how students can create their own poster using one single frame of Power Point. Once created, the image can be saved to a flash drive and taken to any office service center with a large printer. This example I created is now a 36" x 42" poster in my classroom. The trick: Go to "Page Setup," select the dimensions of your poster at something like 36" x 42" (or what ever dimension and orientation you wish). |
