Glogster is the techno-version of creating a poster to present in the classroom, but with HUGE benefits!!!! First of all.... no slipping on the crayons or markers that have rolled off the desks and no glue residue on the floor. Second, parents aren't griping about spending even more money on school supplies, and you don't have to shell out your hard-earned money.
Students research a topic or online, or read a book. or complete an assignment and then use Glogster to create a digital poster. With the available in-program options and the ability to "grab" anything the students find on the web, Glogster is the perfect Web 2.0 solution to the traditional show-and-tell poster. The attached example is a "found" glog about 21st century education. I have developed a glog to use the first day of school and at the back-to-school night we offer for parents. As one of our first Get-to-Know-You assignments, students will create glogs as a group establishing their team name and mascot that will be displayed around the room for classroom management purposes. What uses can you think of for a glog?
