BULLETIN BOARD DISPLAYS

My Learning Episode Overview

Episode 2 provides me with an opportunity to give a
more intent look at bulletin board displays and determine the
effectiveness of these displays in delivering in purpose and
message.
My Intended Learning Outcomes
In this Episode, I must be able to:
 evaluate bulletin board displays using a set of criteria for quality.
 apply principles in designing an effective bulletin board display.
My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:
 quality of my observations and documentation,
 completeness and depth of analysis,
 depth and clarity of classroom observation-based reflection,
 completeness, organization, clarity of portfolio and
 time of submission of portfolio.
My Learning Essentials
1. Bulletin Boards have four general purposes:
 Decorative – They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the
social and psychological atmosphere of the school
 Motivational – They encourage students to perform better and have greater
confidence. An example would be the display of students’ outputs that show that
each output is recognized and valued.
 Informational – They are used as a strategy to disseminate information.
 Instructional – They invite students to respond and participate through interactive
displays.
2. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication, attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness, and
durability.

 My Analysis

Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target
audience? Why? Why not?
Yes, the board display design reflect the likes/interest of its target audience, because of
its style, selection of colors and materials, the title and the theme were very student
centered. The things that were posted on the bulletin board reflect the student’s likes
and interest accurate to their age as well as they still can learn. The bulletin board
reflect the students likes and interest. Accurate to their age as well as they still can
learn. The bulletin Board also defines how creative the students because they really
show their talents and effort.
Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? Why
not?
Some of the size and styles of the Bulletin Board were clear and simple but some of the
Bulletin Board small and cannot be seen by farthest student. But I wanna say that all
were created creatively and nicely that it really emphasize the theme and the message.
The use of the words, language and the ideas were very relevant to each other simple,
clear yet elegant that the audience appreciate it and understand it.
What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? Why not?
In my own point of view, the purpose of the Bulletin board is to convey the message as
well as the information to the students that was clearly seen and stated out the display
board. The board display catches the attention of the students and it beautify that
classroom. Aside from it the beautiful classroom encourage learning.

What suggestion scan you make?

LEARNING EPISODE 2 –Bulletin Board Displays

Avoid to much decorations and bright colors the display must be seen by the farthest
students. It would also be nice to add more contents which will invite the participation
of the students aside from te information that it conveys.

Based on your suggestions, propose an enhanced version of the display board. Use the

My Reflections/ Insights
1. Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to
come up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each
skill is needed.

Creative – The teacher must be unique has its own

ides\as and can created difference in limitless way.
Informative – The teacher must close the right ideas and
the board display must be varied yet appropriate information.
Idealistic – The teacher must think of an idea of what his/her board display would
look like and how it will work for the learning of the audience.
Artistic – The teacher must have a sense of art to be attractive
Resourceful - resourcefulness of a teacher may contribute to the enhancement of
the board.

2. Which of the skills you named in #1do you already have? Recall your past experiences
in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?

I have a sense of idealism and creatures I loved decorating and I really love
blending the colors. In our house I have my own room and really love decorating
and making of the materials that are available in our place. Practicing these skills
in helping my classmates in doing the Bulletin Boards sharing my ideas and also
acquiring new knowledge in order to enrich my knowledge in doing it.

3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on how you
can improve on or acquire these skills?

I wanna improved myself in lettering cutting because I really don’t know how to
do it well I’m asking my classmate to teach me and I really practice it everyday
and I will never stop until I learn and become a professional.

 I also wanna improved myself in lettering because I don’t know how to it.
