BP3_Glogster EDU
Sunday, August 8, 2010 | Noelia Badillo
Glogster Edu is a web 2.0 application that allows students to create interactive online posters or "glogs" as they are called on Glogster, which can then be shared online. The most convenient of this tool is that it also can be embedded in blogs and wikis using an embedded code. Glogs can be created using text, pictures, sounds and videos (from SchoolTube), so it is a great tool to promote creativity and which can be used to evaluate both writing and reading skills. This tool allows teachers to create an account in which they can add up to 200 students so they can be able to collaborate and exchange ideas and feedback.

One word: AWESOME. I love this application. I think it is a great tool to use with people in lieu of items such as mind maps. This tool allows students to be creative and use the knowledge they learned in class. The only problem I foresee with this program is the desire to use YouTube but being halted by our school district (sigh). Thank you for sharing this tool, NB. I just registered for an account and I'm already thinking of projects to integrate Glogster into my curriculum.
This is great Noelia! After reading what you wrote and then looking at the Glogster site, I see why you were attracted to the tool. I can already think of a long list of ways I can implement this into my AVID class as well as my English classes. I think this would be a great tool to use after reading a novel--having kids create posters focused on a character or theme. I think it would laos be great for kids to create a poster about themselves after completing an autobiographical essay.
