Glogster-Cissell



The web 2.0 tool that I chose to use for this assignment is [|Glogster] I was told about it a couple of weeks ago and have been getting my account set up and starting to use it in class. It is a tremendous resource for student to compile information from all over the internet on an interactive Glog (digital poster). It is very easy to use and a lot of fun to create these digital posters with interactive video, links to information, and a endless amount of ways to personalize your poster. I am going to use this resource in my nutrition unit. I plan on assigning my students that task of creating a Glog instead of a traditional food log. I want them to create a visual food diary that includese links to the dietary information to the foods that they ate for that day. I also want them to put their calories consumed compared to calories burned so that they can visually see what they are putting in their body and hopefully enjoy compiling the information from all other the websites. [|My CPR Glog]is a Glog I created in less than 25 minutes without any training just to give you an idea how easy it is to use. I know that my students will be able to quickly pick up on how to set up there Glogs and enjoy this process compared to the traditional posters that were messy and difficult to keep organized. I hope to have my students get up at the Smart board and go through their Glogs with the rest of the class. I really think that with a good rubric and specific expectations this resource will be easy to implement and a better way to do poster projects. The only negative that I have found with this resource is you have a limited number of student accounts before you have to pay for the service. The video below will walk you through the basics of Glogster. Happy Glogging!!!
