Keyboard Shortcut Posters for Computer Lab using Cricut


I'm taking a child guidance class for my teaching re-certification.  We had an assignment to create a classroom management tool.  Obviously, I wanted to create something I could actually use in my lab... so I thought keyboard shortcut posters would be a good tool- as self help posters were allowed to be a tool.
I found that WikimediaCommons was an excellent source for SVG's!!  Finding technology themed SVG's took me hours... until I hit that site and the jackpot :)  These are all open source, copyright free svg's!
I pulled them into Sure Cuts a Lot, manipulated the files as necessary, and cut them on the cricut.  I cut out the words in vinyl- a lot easier to place on the paper.  I laminated all the posters at school.  Now they hang proudly in the lab and add a real pop of color!

Alien Boy Card



Our friend just turned 59 and rather than the usual "man card",  I wanted to give him something to help him feel young again!! LOL!  And, in all honesty, he is "out of this world!"  We love him dearly.  I used SVGCuts.com's Out of this World collection.  It's adorable and has a ton of stuff- planets included.  Our school had a Space Day the year before last and I made huge hallway decorations with this cut file.
I put some glitter glue in Jupiter's spot.  I used silver star brads to embellish the caption.  It made him smile :)
