Glogster is a collaborative online learning platform which has a regular user version as well as an educational (Glogger EDU) and paid or PRO version.It allows teachers and students to create "Glogs" or posters where they can express their creativity, knowledge and ideas. Glogs are online multimedia posters with text, photos, graphics, videos, sounds, data attachments and drawings.
Glogs can be used in an educational context to create book reports, research projects, class projects, and presentations. They provide a safe digital environment for homework and distance learning. Teachers and students can create a digital library of knowledge and an added bonus is that digital posters save paper.
I created a quick Glogster that is a book review of The Hunger Games.
I had some trouble embedding certain videos. After much trial error, I was able to do it. As with anything new their is a learning curve, but students especially have no problems figuring these things out.

Hi Kimberly, I enjoyed your Glogster. Did you use a template to create your Glog? I had fun making my glog, and think that students would find activities using the program fun as well. At first I struggled figuring out how to upload a video, but finally got it. I agree with you though that students are usually very good at figuring new programs out.
ReplyDeleteKim, your Glogster looked great! I like how you implemented all of the different types of media into it. Have you been using Glogster for a long time or is this your first time?
ReplyDeleteKim, interesting way to use it for book review. :)
