Glogster+Edu



I like Glogster EDU where students create their own online multi-media posters. Students create their own posters by adding pictures, videos, and information. Glogster could be used for any subject or topic. It is monitored directly by teachers and states that it is a “private and safe platform where teachers can control all the activities of their learners.” A video posted on the webpage has a teacher stating Glogster provides an “authentic and global audience where others are able to view student projects. Students can provide positive, constructive feedback to each other as well.” A blogosphere is also available for teachers to blog about Glogster and how they have used it. In addition, there is a teacher’s forum. Plenty of tutorials and examples are available as well. Two different types of Glogster EDU are available. You can choose between a free version and a premium one. I chose the free version and found all that I needed. I registered as an instructor in the "other" category and created my own poster. My poster is based on the unit my group is creating in my Methods of Teaching class. I like the fact that you can add pictures, sound clips, embed videos, and include information relevant to your current class project. You can add bubbles, frames, choose from a hundred different graphics, and change the color of pretty much anything. I have included the following link to my poster: __http://bluebutterflz.edu.glogster.com/ancient-greece/__ The following is a link to embed the poster in this page. 

I told my Methods of Teaching group about EDU Glogster and we will now be using it as a end of unit project for our lesson plans. Tamara Bennett
