Forget Blogging, Try Glogging!!

I can often be found behind my laptop investigating websites to see if they are worthy of a TechTip. The questions I ask are: Does it have the potential to improve student learning? Will it provide a new method for teaching a current curriculum? Will it engage students and get them excited in the learning process? Will it be easy for the teachers and students to use? Glogster is one of those sites I answered "Yes" to all of the above asked questions.

Glogster creates Glogs or Virtual Online Posters. Posters have been used forever in education as both a teaching tool and as means to evaluate what a student has learned about a certain topic. They are a great way for students to express themselves. Because the world we live in is bursting at the seams with multimedia technology, it's only natural that kids and teachers can now design posters on the world wide web. No paper, markers, or glue are necessary to design snazzy expressive glogs! Gloster is a free site that is web based allowing students and teachers to share their projects globally.

Don't take my word for it. Check out this SlideShare Presentation that does a nice job explaining what Glogster is all about:
