Glogster

I had so much fun creating my self introductory Glog!  Click here to learn more about me.

Learning Outcomes:
1. A Glog is a graphic blog.  Glogster allows you to create interactive posters using images, video, audio, and text.  You can also link images or text to the Internet. 
2. There are many ways to use a Glog in the classroom.  To begin with, I think it would be a fun way to replace interest surveys at the beginning of the school year.  Students could create glogs answering questions such as their favorite subject, sport, and hobby.  I also think it would be a great tool to use for reader response activities, history and science reports, and art projects. This would also be a great tool for teacher to use to create learning posters that students could access at any time.
3. ISTE/NETS
2a design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. Glogs are a digital tool that would help promote student learning and creativity when used for any subject area. 
3c.communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. Teacher cans use Glogs to help communicate with students and parents. 
2c.customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources. I think using glogs in the classroom would be a great way to customize learning for individual abilities, learning styles, and work strategies.  Glogs address many learning styles since audio,video, and text are used.   Each student would have the opportunity to create individual Glogs addressing different abilities.
 4. My only concern about using Glogster is the possibility that some public Glogs other people create may not be appropriate for students of all grade levels.
