Glogster

Glogster is a website that allows you to to create free virtual online posters that can be viewed by others and modified by the creater or teacher. Students are able to add music, videos, photos and other images as well as text to these posters and they are there is an added bonus that it doesnt use up class resources such as pencils and pens and paper. The posters can be viewed at any time and changed whenever the creator would like. Glogster is a tool for teachers to use with their students without the fear of students having access to unsuitable materials, that can be found all over the internet. I think Glogster is a great tool for students who want to express themselves creativley and are not confident with their art skills. I think I would be able to use glogster in my classroom, it would save time, and it would be a way that the students could add something extra to their work. Glogster is easy and fun and children would find it very engaging. In terms of students not doing the right thing on Glogster, teachers are able to access and monitor what their studnets are doing through this site. All in all, I like Glogster it is one of the innovations that we have seen that is simple and can be used easily in the classroom.
