Glogster

It is almost "end of the holidays" here in Israel. After a month and a half where there was a holiday nearly every day - food, traveling, meeting friends, writing blog posts, reading blog posts, spending quality time with family and more,,, This camp is about to end!

It is time to go back to what I really long for and it is called: "ROUTINE".

This is the time for me to think about new ideas and interesting tools to teach the teachers at my computer course (I like the sound of it... teach the teacher :).

So, while I search the interenet, search all the web 2.0 websites, blogs, books - reading articles and tiring myself and my brain... I suddenly remembered GLOGSTER. My old friend from long ago... We met during one of my interent traveling and fell in love!

Meet Glogster!



I am not talking about Glogter Edu (education), but the regular Glogster. The one opened for everyone.

Use Glogster for a variety of things:

* Creative Writing:

- talk about your vacation (see my example)

- talk about yourself

- talk about your favorite movie/ book/ friend etc

- Write a book report

- talk about your pet/ parents/ family

- talk about your school

- Write bibliography

* Photo Album...

- Make a photo poster

- Make your own poster

* Posters

- Make the abc poster

- Make a school poster

- Make a poster about your class trip

- Make a poem poster

and more and more....

There are endless ideas, but what I like the most about it, is that every kid - brings his own creativity to the work.

You can even open a class Glog. Why not make a Glog during the lesson? If you have a white board or even only an over head projector everyone can share their own ideas on the Glog.

You will have a class poster to hang on your classroom wall/ gift it in the end of the year/ parents day etc....

Glogster is also so easy to use! Open one, save it and share it to any social network, your blog, your site, print it out and also share it with people you don't know - get likes and comments.

So what do you think of Glogster?
