Glogster

A glog is an interactive multimedia image that allows not just the creator, but the readers to interact with it. Glogster allows several things such as images, videos, audio recordings ad texts all to appear within the same glog which makes it more appealing to learners. It can also be seen as a form of social networking. Glogster is a simple application to use and is easily accessible to both students and teachers. The Glogster EDU allows teachers and students to use the application as instruction aids and to share their glogs in the privacy of the classroom.

One of the main benefits for teachers using glogs in their lessons is that it makes the lessons more FUN!! And if the children are having fun and enjoying their work they are more likely to learn more from that lesson. Therefore it can be seen as a valuable learning tool. It’s also a private application and safe and also allows teachers to monitor activities.

For students, this application allows the students to have more fun whilst working, improve their design techniques, to be creative and to express themselves.

Glogster is a multi-sensory learning experience and regardless of your preferred learning techniques, this site suits everyone.

 

However, Glogster isn’t the easiest site I’ve used and the chance of me using it myself is very slim. It took me a while to get to grips with it so in future I will keep it in mind but it wouldn’t be my first choice application.
