Glogster

Hello all! I hope everyone had a great weekend!  If not, I have got the website to make your week!  Ok, so that might be overdoing it, but Glogster for education is one awesome site.  When you sign up for an account on Glogster (the free one) you are able to enroll up to 100 students under your teacher account.  Their passwords and usernames are completely controlled by you. 

So, what is it that the students can do once they are signed up, you ask?  They can make kickin' online posters, that's what!  With Glogster, students can sign in and create colorful and interactive posters using clip art, pictures, and backgrounds that come included with your account.  They can also upload their own pictures, videos, and sounds.  They can even add in links to websites outside Glogster.  Your students can save their work and come back to it later.  Once they are done, you can embed the glog into a webpage, email them, or print them! 

The site is really fun and offers a new way for students to display work.  I would love to see any examples if you choose to use Glogster.  I will even gladly help you set it up!

  2. Thank you, Jim! I will definitely check out your Ning! I will also look into becoming an ambassador! I am very excited to be showing Glogster off to a teacher later this week, and I'll keep spreading awareness for your site!
