Ever heard of a Glog??

Ok, so I have managed to make a Blog and work out what can be done with them and today I find out there is a thing called a GLOG!!!!!  It is basically a tool that allows you to make 'poster collages' that can incorporate images, clip arts, videos, text, music, attachments and a whole lot more.  Wow - this is exciting - another fantastic tool to use in the classroom.

Here is some of what they said on the Glog website :

What is Glogster EDU?


For Educators:

• A creative, dynamic, and innovative digital outlet that captures learner’s excitement for online creations, keeps learners engaged in course content, and makes teaching and learning more fun.

• A private and safe platform, monitored directly by teachers. Teachers control all the activities of their learners.

• A valuable teaching tool that integrates diverse core subjects including math, science, history, art, photography, music and more for individual learner portfolios, unique alternative assessments, and differentiated instructional activities.

For Learners:

• A fun, imaginative, and powerful learning experience which fosters independent creative self expression, positive learner-teacher relationships, and teamwork on collaborative class projects.

• A vibrant, multi-sensory learning experience which integrates learner’s knowledge and skills into traditionally text-oriented subjects and motivates learner’s desire to explore topics in which they may previously have been less interested

There is so much technology out there that there should be no excuses why we can't engage 21st century learners in a variety of ways.....
