Check out our new favorite 2.0 site called Glogster. You can make cool on line posters using images, sounds, text, and videos. We added an AMIMOTO video to a Glog, a podcast, a PhotoStory 3, and a video from YouTube. Think of the possibilities for educational use!! Click on the link to see our Glog.

I loved the Andy Warhol Glog. I am not a big fan of him but I had added interest from the Glog.
This is a fast and direct way to reach to students. It is great for accelerated students, what about the students that have challenges? Will this be too much for them to take in?
Will low-income families be able to keep up with the present and future technologies?
I am technology-challenged and even I could try my hand a creating a glog! This is very user friendly and you can put a lot of information in one spot.
My favorite part of the Andy Warhol Glogster was the Animoto.
Too cute, I'll leave this for the girls in my classes.
I can see two uses for Glogster: mine and students'.
Glogster seems like it might be a great format for one of those interactive learning station bulletin boards, or maybe a webquest with everything on one screen. Have the assignments and source materials embedded all over that same poster frame.
The other option I see is that these could be the students' assessments for a unit. Have each student create a "Glog" for an historical figure, period of time, process, etc.
Heck, it might not even be a bad way to present news: some of the best reporting I've heard on the recent economic crisis, for example, has been an NPR podcast.
I think this tool could be very useful as a reference area/introduction to a unit. As a future English teacher, creating a 'glog' for an important author/book/movement could be useful because it would give students a place to comment on what they've learned,learn some new facts, and maybe even discuss projects.
