Glogster

I have so many resources that I have learned recently, but the opening of school, from the time I returned at the beginning of August, has been so incredibly busy that I haven't had time to add any posts lately.

However, now that I am stuck at home for two weeks, I have finally found the time to share at least one resource.

I was introduced to this last year, but didn't do much with it.  Then Val in the social studies department reminded me of it this year and shared her Glog with me.  She suggested that Glogster is much better than the old school (my words) white poster board projects.

On Glogster, one can create a virtual poster, or Glog, using graphics, text, audio, video, and photos.  It's basically a mash-up.

The best part is that Glogster has a free education section, and you can register for up to 200 student accounts.  Students will not be able to access the other part of Glogster, so they will not be exposed to anything unsavory.

Not only will students be much more interested in working on this site than on poster board, but it also saves paper and space.  (Where do you put all those poster boards?)

To register, go to http://edu.glogster.com, and click on Register a Class.  Here's one that I created.  I don't feel free to share Val's since it's not mine.
