Glogster Review

So, I just finished playing with Glogster and WOW!!
So many ways I can think of that Glogster would be a fantastic tool in the classroom.

Glogster has many awesome features such as the ability to upload images, videos, sound, text BUT most importantly it has templates that makes organising your ideas or message you are trying to get across so much easier.
The templates cover everything from poster form, resume, video glog, gaming glog, pinboard (which I used) and a lot more.
Glogster can be used in the classroom for students to form multimodal assignments and embed a variety of different sources that add meaning to their presentations. Additionally, students can post their glog either privately or publically. This option allows privacy for images and videos if classroom students themselves are features or allows students to perform on a global scale with a global audience.

Teachers can also utilize Glogster to set out classroom tasks or events for the day or term. These can be published into a blog or wiki for viewing or, by using the snipping tool or screen capture, can be printed and hung around the classroom.

Students can also search for and view glogs on different topics as to gain information or gain creative inspiration from. Obviously because students are searching on the internet certain blocks should be put in place to protect students from 'unwanted' or inappropriate information being shown.

Additionally, I think that my glog looks pretty awesome for only about 10 minutes work. It looks well set out, engaging and professional; which I can only really acredit Glogster for.

In summary, awesome tool that I will definitely be using in the classroom especially for student multimodal presentations.
