Glogster

Glogster is a website that enables users to create free virtual online posters that can be viewed by others and changed by the creater or the monitor (teacher) when ever they like. Glogster.com/edu is a tool for teachers to use with their students without the fear of students being exposed to inappropriate material. Glogster saves on resources such as paper, glue and pens and pencils. The features of glogster allow students to decorate their glog with a wide range of symbols and other graphics, making each students glog an expression of their individuality. They can add music, videos, photos and other images as well as text. I would definitely use this innovation within my own classroom as it is easy and fun to use and would engage children easily. It is actually easier to use glogster and therefore more time efficient than making a poster by hand. Teachers are able to monitor students use of their glogs and edit any inappropriate material. The main thing about Glogster that I love is that it is fun and children would want to use it. Below is a glog that I made myself.
