Glogster Edu

Have you heard of Glogster Edu?


"Glogster EDU is a Web 2.0 platform that allows you to easily upload photos, videos, text, audio and more to create interactive online posters."



Unlike Glogster.com, which is for individuals, Glogster Edu is for creating a teacher account and allows a person to have student accounts.  Glogster.com is free, and Glogster Edu costs money.
Click here for more information about subscriptions.



At the beginning of the year I signed up for the trial version of Glogster Edu.  My students created 2 glogs during this free trial and they loved it!


When the free trial ran out I decided to go ahead and purchase a 1 year subscription to Glogster Edu.  I'm going to attempt to use this tool as much as possible. 

This week in reading my group will be creating Glogs in Glogster to show all that they learn while reading a non-fiction literacy piece. I will share some of our Glogs in a future post to show you how the students did.


In the meantime, here is a Glog one of my students created earlier in the year on the Chinese Culture.  (We had read about having common ground with cultures from around the world.)

There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
