A blog about Glog... ster

Glogster is a interactive program designed to be used for educators in the classroom. It can be defined into the following catergories:

• A web platform - Allowing users to upload images, videos, audio clips and most importantly, create online and interactive posters


• Networking - Allowing users to create, publish and share work with other people


• A safe, secure platform where it can eb easily monitored by teachers


• A tool which enables students to use their T&E skills to enhance their learning

I would definately use Glogster in the classroom so that students can create online posters as a way to jot their ideas down. I think it's great because it functions as an mindmap but also incorporates technology and enterprise into it. Therefore, students can add much more meaningful things to their posters such as video, audio and links. It definately makes brainstorming a lot more fun and engaging. The best thing is that it is free to download and the security mechanisms ensure that teachers can easily monitor students learning which is predominately the most important thing for myself.
