“Being able to create multimedia posters and reports filled with animations, audio, and video is a dream come true for students. You can donate your poster board and color markers to someone in the lower grade levels! The students really are into this and there is an option to set up a class account for you. It is easy to use, makes learning fun and eases presentation anxiety. Creating a Glog uses a drag and drop system to create make this visual platform in which users create a poster or web page containing a variety of multimedia elements. Then you simply show it to the other students using the overhead projector or Smartboard.”

“Glogster allows users to create interactive multimedia posters. Students and teachers can compile a variety of resources, from pictures and videos to sound bites and text, to create posters on any theme imaginable. I find Glogster to be a creative way for students to synthesize information and collaborate primary sources with student analysis. Glogster has a variety of uses and is excellent for students in upper elementary and above.”
