 An Evaluation Report of a Bulletin Board

Location of the Bulletin Board Display: Along the Hallway Description of the Bulletin Board: Information, activities and etc. Evaluation        EVALUATION          STRENGTHS            WEAKNESSES Educational Content          (Messages) The contents were relevant to the activities for that month.  It will be very effective if the viewers or students perform the task being posted.  It will be very effective if the viewers or students perform the task being posted.  Image/Color  The image/colors can really attract the eye of the students.  Some image/colors are lost already. Arrangement of Information Board display was c covered by a glass, it was located near the entrance gate, it was attractive and there were no misspelled words or even inconsistencies in grammar. It can last for a longer time; it can easily attract the attention of the viewers because of its location where many viewers can see it. The content was easy to understand because it was free from any grammar errors. It can be only weak if it is not updated and if the content       is not clear enough.  If the person who made the board display is not knowledgeable and just took it for granted can also become weak.  Materials Used  The materials are easy to purchase.  Some of the materials are already damaged.  Recommendations or Suggestions for Improvement              The legibility of the board display was good but it needs an improvement in terms of the arrangements of its content in order for it to be seen from a good distance and messages must be cogent enough in order for the viewers especially the students to have an involvement.

Your Analysis

Describe the board display design in terms of raising the target audience's interest.
         Since it is made by certain students, so I can say that everything being posted are being reflected on the likes or interest of its target audience because the main target audience are also the students but it is not the totality because every student has its own style. It simply means that one student is different from another student in terms of their likes or interest.

Use of language in making the target audience's understanding of the information.
       The font and size of the words were formal enough to be read by the target audience and the words were also bold enough to be clearly seen. The words used were appropriate to the level of the students where in the students who will read it can understand its thought.

The intention of the Board Display

        In my own point of view, the purpose of the boards was to convey information to the students such as information about the content of the subjects, proper hygiene, values information and latest trends in the society. It also serves as motivation tool for the students to do their best and as I look in it, it really works for it s purpose. By it designs it holds attention, the contents were appropriate that provide learning information, and the boards were not merely filled with written words but also pictures that facilitates easy understanding.

Your Suggestion

  I suggest rearranging some of the words to convey much clear thought of the sentence. The content must have something new that gives opportunity to the student to participate or interact and it is important also to update the content. It would be also nice to add more contents which will invite the participation of the students aside from information that it conveys.

Your Reflections

From what you have observed about the bulletin board display, what are the skills that must be developed by a teacher?
         The skills that must be developed by a teacher in making a bulletin board, they must be creative. Board Display must be attractive and it contains important things that the students must know.  

Did you have any experience design or making a bulletin board? Which skills do you already have?
        I have a sense of idealism and resourcefulness, a little of being creative, informative and artistic. It was high school days when I started making a board display. The content was the whole topic that covers our third grading period. I learn how to make boarders and design a letter specifically the Old Text English Style because that was my favorite font text. It was my first time to make a board display, thus I still need to improve and practice those skills for future.

Are there skills you think you still need? Reflect on how you can acquire and improve on these skills.
        I think I need to develop my artistic skills because in designing a board display I must know how to combine colors, make designs appropriate to the theme and purposed of the board display, and to make it attractive. To have an artistic skills, I must practice it while still a student, thus I must apply it every time I’m doing an artworks such as portfolios and scrapbooks. There is also a need for me to accept criticism from others towards my work in order for me to develop or improve my work.

  I need also to develop my informative skills by reading books and magazines, searching through internet, and most of all to be updated about the events or happenings in this world.
