Glogster (edu version)

I am extremely excited about the possibility of using this tool in my second grade class this year. I say possibly, because there is a high chance this amazing tool is blocked.

What do I love about it?
Kids can:
  • Create an amazing looking page with completely customizable backgrounds. Here is an example of one I created to introduce myself to my students.
  • Link almost anything you place on the page, including pictures, text, and graphics.
  • Easily embed their project on just about any page.
  • Place tags with their project to connect them with other similar glogs.
  • Easily incorporate animated graphics because they are include with the tool without using any code.
  • Do there project online (it's web-based) so there is nothing to download.
  • Access all their glogs through an easy to use dashboard (which include messaging, connections to classmates, comments, and simple data tracking).
Teachers can:
  • Create an entire class through their dashboard,
  • Subscribe to RSS feeds to track changes and updates.
  • Try the premium features free for a month and sign up to get loads of extra features.
  • Hit on Multiple Intelligences, Key in on Differentiated Instruction, Give freedom to Learning Styles, and Let Assessment lead the way.
Try it out and let me know what you think. I think you will be amazed at how much you can do.
