Social Media Graphics -Grades 8, 9, & 10

Leave a comment

In ICT class students found some favorite quotes and learned to present them in visual form, in particular for sharing on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Instagram.

Students focused on message clarity, graphic dimensions, font choices, contrast, layout, choosing imagery that supports the text, color scheme, and impact.

Here are a few examples from grades 8, 9, and 10: (*Click to enlarge)

As a great motivational speaker, Jim Rohn, once said:

“Our life goal is like a life jacket that will immediately lift us up when we are sinking emotionally.”

You may not notice it, but the goals you keep with you guide your way forward in life. You are able to maintain a clear path on your long journey. That’s the importance of these goals. They give you a purpose. I personally feel that it’s important to have at least one, even if they’re way out of your reach. You’ve just got to try and try and keep trying. Sometimes it takes 10 years to get that one year that will change your life.

Trust me, it’s all worth it in the end.
