One of the most important things to develop as a teacher is a good rappore with your classes and an important element in this is a being seen to have a good sense of humour. I tend to use a projector/interactive whiteboard in my teaching a lot so I try to have interesting desktop backgrounds for pupils to comment upon. Here’s 10 of my favourites… :p

All of these backgrounds are either 1024×768 or 1280×1024 and will automatically resize to fit any resolution! :D

[4] Frog (click to enlarge)

[5] Jolly (click to enlarge)

[6] Hard Boiled Scrambler (click to enlarge)

[7] Panda (click to enlarge)

[8] Ram (click to enlarge)

[9] Snail (click to enlarge)

[10] Maximum Cool (click to enlarge)

[11] Melon Mountain (click to enlarge)

Most, if not all of these wallpapers came from [12] deviantART.com, which is an excellent place to browse! :D

Doug - I’m clicking, but nothing seems to be enlarging…

Ah… congratulations on spotting the deliberate mistake! (I’ve fixed it now…) :s

These are great backgrounds. I hope to see more. I know it seems capricious of me, but can you also include backgrounds with darker shades. Like night scene. Its easier on my eyes. I thank you very much.
