There are few educational tasks more tedious than keeping track of several classes worth of poster projects. They are bulky, unportable, many parents hate them, and invariably they fall apart once the Elmer's glue loses its grip.
Now you don't need to "loose your grip"; www.glogster.com/edu is an excellent resource for students to complete an online poster project rich with multimedia and creative opportunities. These projects now become portable, open up new avenues for creativity, appeal to our "21st Century Learners", and can include an audience far beyond the brick and mortar of our classrooms - "the web".
Unless you like getting glitter all over your desk...
Check out this example of a poster or "glog" I created based upon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It used resources readily available on the web, and took about 1/2 an hour to create.
Before I request unblocking it for the students, I am looking for some input on how you might use this resource in your classroom...Comments welcome...
