I have just explored Glogster, and as many of you have blogged, it could be an excellent tool to make virtual posters, thus saving paper, and thereby trees. As a science teacher, I could use a Glog to make some of my lessons interactive. For example, a lesson could be introduced innovatively using a Glog. Having lived in Japan for several years, many of my students are quite familiar with the seismic phenomena. So, a dry lecture or a PowerPoint about the same may not be very pleasing to their eyes and ears. So, I thought a Glog could fire up their imagination. Here is my first Glog.

Holy Cats! Your blog is so technical and efficient. These are great! It is apparent that you are savvy with technology and best use practices to get studnets rolling. How long have you been into technology? Can you share more about glogster?
Thank you for your kind words, Dana. I have been using moodle and wiki for the last three years. However, I am still trying to figure out things for this course. Well, students could use Glogster to make interactive virtual posters for science fairs and project presentations. We could also use it to make 'pages' for an electronic Yearbook, flyers, and newsletters. I have also read that some workshop leaders use it for creating professional training videos. I guess Glogster is an eco-friendly tool.
Your work looks so neat. I have spent a lot of time on glogster too and I have tried posting a video on my blog. My problem was it does not play. I have not been able to play your youtube video as well. Does that mean there is something missing on my laptop? I have read all your blogposts and they are all to the point and very good. Could you please suggest something that I could do to improve my glogster understanding?
Thank you for the comment, Jayanthi. Going by my past experience, if you can't play a Youtube video, you should uninstall Adobe's flash player on your computer, download the latest version, close the browser after the download, and then install the new version of flash player. I am not sure if there is a different solution.
That is a really cool poster. If I were in your class that would definitely get my attention so that I could find out what the answer is. It would take some time, but glogster would be a good way to get the class into the lesson for the day, or even a good way for the students to show what they have learned.
Nice job on the Glog. How would you incorporate this in the classroom? Would you show it to them on the projector- or would you have them view it individually on their own computers?
As a side, if you have the data this may be interesting to do for you Argument project!
