Grades: 7-12
In short, Glogs are posters that can be created online made up of texts, images, music and videos. Glogs are an unique creation of mixed graphics that could be used in an edudcational setting. Glogster would be great to use in Language Arts classrooms. Instead of making students take formal tests after reading literature or even a short story, students can create visual pieces through Glogster displaying their interpretation and comprehension of the lesson. This website also offers a site Glogster EDU, which is a platform for teachers and students to express their creativity in the classroom. The advantages of these sites are that they allow for creativity and interaction. This sites are also not limited to one subject matter, it can be used in different classrooms for different grade levels. The major disadvantage of this program is pricing. For the basic teacher, the site is free, but only 50 students can register and the features are limited. As a teacher, that only allows you to use Glogster with one, maybe two full classrooms. In order to get unlimited features, the program has an annual fee of $99 and 200 students could register.
