Digital Tool 9 - Glogster

Glogster in an online tool which provides a digital canvas for the creation of posters, albums or creative and interactive pages (for personal or education use). According the creators of this digital tool, it offers it's users to Engage, Inspire, Excite and Show. 

Glogster proved to be a bit of a problem for me. It became time consuming, and confusing in uploading to pre-set glogs. But when I decided to start from a blank glog, it became a lot easier to manipulate the different concepts you cad add to the page. I only played around with the tools it provided so I won't be posting an example.

This could be a great creative digital tool. It can allow students to present their creativity whilst using Glogster for projects (in class or out). 

Although it can have it's advantages, students will ( and teachers of course) need to be equipped in how to use Glogster safely, ethically and efficiently. 

Here is Glogster's Terms of use page. 

I personally don't think I would use Glogster as a teacher, but I may even encourage the students to use it for assessments and topic pages.
