Above is an example of a Glogster.
What is a Glogster
Glogger is an online tool which allows you to create interactive posters. For example, see how the sun is shining and the childrens' eyes are blinking in the above example. How to Make a Glogster
First you will need to go to the website www.glogster.com and create an account. It is very easy to use from there and quite self explanatory. But for more information on creating a glogster watch this video:-How Can Glogster be Used in the Classroom?
Glogster is a great tool for creating posters. The posters can be used for displaying information about the learning area or just general information as is shown in the example above in relation to Sun Smart. As the image is interactive it is visually appealling.Students could create their own Glogster's to display projects and assignments.
It could be used to display poetry, maths, just about anything.
PMI Analysis
Plus: Glogster was easy to use, was fun and provides a great visual aid to assist in teaching. It will help support visual learners and if used appropriately could support higher order thinking, for instance by allowing students to get information through collaboration and then input that information into a Glogster.Minus: If printed the image will no longer be interactive, however, it still looks visually appealing. A Glogster poster alone will not support higher order thinking and other activities will need to be included in a learning plan to achieve this.
Interesting: Glogster is free to use and you can create as many as you like.
Personal Reflection
Again, I had never heard of a Glogster before I commenced this course. I am now so excited that I have discovered it. I found Glogster to be a great tool and can't wait to use it in the classroom. It was so easy to use compared to other online tools but just as effective. I would recommend this tool to anyone.References:
