Glogster

Glogster is a form of social networking that allows users to create interactive posters for free!  A Glog is an interactive multimedia image, that resembles a poster. However, readers can interact with the content. Glogster allows texts, images, photos and audios to be imbedded on the poster which makes it more attractive to learners.  Glogster EDU allows teachers and pupils to use glogs as instructional aids and share their Glogs in private virtual classroom. Glogster is a simple application which is easily accessible to staff and students and is a smart tool to use in classrooms.

The benefits of using glogster for teachers is that its  creative, collaborative and innovative digital programme  makes teaching and learning more fun. It is a private and safe platform that is monitored directly by teachers. Glogster is a valuable teaching tool that integrates diverse core subjects including math, science, history, art, photography, music and much,  much more!

For learners glogster is a  fun, imaginative, and powerful learning experience that fosters independent and creative self expression, positive teacher-student relationships, and teamwork on class projects. It is a vibrant, multi-sensory learning experience that integrates student knowledge and skills with traditionally text-oriented subjects, and inspires intellectual curiosity.
