Tech Tuesday #6: Glogster--Virtual Posters
Thanks to a very unwelcome visit from the stomach-flu fairy, I missed yesterdays Tech Tuesday posting :-(. So this week I am presenting Tech Tuesday on Wednesday!
Everyday I have teachers ands tudents asking me about technology tools for class presentations. They are eager to move beyond the traditional stand-and-present poster project or click-and-read PowerPoint (this makes my heart happy). Today I present Glogster, an interactive poster creator. Gloster allows the creator to create a mash-up of video, images, text, and graphics to create a virtual poster. View the VoiceThread tutorial below for a basic introduction of the educational version of glogster (edu.glogster.com).
Ideas for Glogs:
- Book reviews
- Advertisements
- "About me" presentations
- Compare/ Contrast ideas or topics
- Illustrate concepts
- Extend and Deliver in VESTED
Have you or your students glogged? Tell us about it!
