Glog follow-up...

Just wanted to share some of my students Glogs! I had to work with half of my class at a time. The second group is just about done with theirs as well! Two 30 minute sessions and we were able to get them finished up! The kids just LOVED them. Later on this quarter, we'll incorporate glogs into a content area. This was mostly to show the students how they worked and for FUN! They did learn how to upload pictures, resize and rotate images, record audio, and manipulate text. Pretty cool stuff!!

You can check out the glogs HERE.

Let's Go Glogging!

WHAT'S A GLOG???

Pretty cool, huh? Glogster combines graphics, images, text, audio, and video to make a one-of-a-kind digital poster. I am using glogster with my firsties this week. They are making "all about me" glogs to share with their classmates. Normally this would make a great activity for the first few weeks of school, but when I introduce a new web 2.0 or technology to the class, we always start with something not related to a particular content area. Later, we can use glogster to do book reports, compare and contrast, present research reports....the possibilities are endless!

Today the students created their wall, uploaded their picture, and chose 5-6 graphics to include on their glog. They learned how to resize and rotate their graphics as well. Later this week, they will add audio and make it "pretty". Fun stuff!

Have you used glogster in  your classroom?
