Glogster is one of the coolest Web 2.0 tools a teacher can use in the classroom. It is basically a presentation in virtual form! It is not just a regular boring Power Point and it's everything but boring. Glogster allows students to insert a Power Point, You tube videos, any other videos, pictures, recordings, post it notes, cartoons, and many more. In this case, technology and Web 2.0 is quite nifty. Teachers, instead of assigning the same poster board presentation for a research project, give Glogster a chance. Your students will have their Glogster account forever and they can watch their creative minds grow! Glogster is much better than buying a poster board that gets thrown away right after you are graded. The best part about this tool is that it is Elementary student friendly!
When teachers sign up for the teacher account they can also keep track of their students's projects as well as their own. Glogster even has this thing called the Glogpedia Library where teachers and students can go into to get some ideas on how to set up their own Glogster. This website even has tutorials on the bottom of the page to direct you in the right direction. If you click on the link below, you will experience your first Glogster! Forget blogging get Glogging, sign up today!
