THE SERIES

SMART POSTER is a new editorial series by Erickson aimed at all school grades, a collaborative and inclusive teaching tool that aims to encourage participatory, cooperative and metacognitive activity within the classroom, between the desk and the walls.
Each SMART POSTER consists of a poster and a volume of workshop activities that the teacher will manage as group or individual activities.
With the SMART POSTER, pupils will be able to play, discuss, make decisions, build content, organize and retrieve important information, and monitor their learning process with a view to self-assessment.
