Despite its funny name, Glogster is actually an outstanding, free website for with tons of possibilities for your classroom! A "glog" is an online interactive poster. (Imagine the posters you made for school while growing up, but redesigned for the 21st century!) On Glogster, students can combine text, pictures, graphics, video and audio to create their poster. They can choose to either use graphics provided by Glogster or upload their own photos or videos. The final glog can be shared online!
Glogster is a great way for students to display knowledge on a topic. It can be used across the curriculum and enable students to demonstrate their creativity.
