Tech Tool of the Week – Glogster
It’s been a while since I had the time to blog. My summer goal is to blog at least a few times a week and share some of the great tools I’ve been using in my classes.
Tech Tool of the Week – Glogster
I just discovered a new tech tool that I’m having fun playing with. Glogster describes its product “Simply put, Glog is a kind of poster – fully designed by yourself! Glog is a fancy creation from text, images, music and video. … It gives you a perfect tool to express yourself.” While the main Glogster site has some questionable content for students, the education site is amazing. “Glogster EDU is your original educational resource for innovative and interactive learning. Glogster EDU was conceived to imaginatively, productively, and collaboratively respond to the dynamic educational landscape and exceed the needs of today’s educators and learners. We value the participation of educators and strive to assimilate their contributions to Glogster EDU, Glogster EDU is yours! Educators from all over the world are integrating Glogster EDU’s resourceful platform to make traditional learning more dynamic, more interactive and more in tune with learners today. Most importantly Glogster EDU is FUN for teachers and learners alike!” http://edu.glogster.com/ The basic version is free.
The glogster website has great examples of what students can do with Glogs http://edu.glogster.com/category/English%2FLanguage-Arts/ Visit my student blogs later this summer to see what cool projects my summer students have created with Glogster.
