Glogster is a great platform for moving stale, 20th Century, poster projects into the 21st Century. Students can use content from the web or their own content to create informative collages about a wide range of topics. They can also use Glogster to create a dynamic digital portfolio.
Admittedly, my "GLOG" is not very creative or inspiring-But this is a cool web based program that can tranform the way we have students create posters or collages.
Using Glogster students can create multimedia collages about anything. One of Glogster's employees, Jim Dachos (a former Maine teacher) has compiled a great list of examples of Glogster being used in academic settings. Jim has examples covering the whole spectrum of educational applications for Glogster from elementary school through high school.
This is a creative, dynamic, and innovative digital outlet that captures learner's excitement for online creations, keeps learners engaged in course content, and makes teaching and learning more fun.
Once you register, you can create up to 200 accounts for your students. It is a private and safe platform, monitored directly by YOU. The teacher controls all the activities of their learners.
This is a valuable teaching tool that provides the opportunity for unique alternative assessments, and differentiated instructional activities.
For Students, GLOGSTER is a fun, imaginative, and powerful learning experience which fosters independent creative self expression, positive learner-teacher relationships, and teamwork on collaborative class projects.
As well, it is a vibrant, multi-sensory learning experience which integrates learner's knowledge and skills into traditionally text-oriented subjects and motivates learners' desire to explore topics in which they may previously have been less interested.
