Glogster EDU is the leading global education platform for the creative expression of knowledge and skills in the classroom and beyond. They empower educators and students with the technology to create GLOGS - online multimedia posters - with text, photos, videos, graphics, sounds, drawings, data attachments and more.
I asked students to create a Glog over one of the five regions of the United States. They had to use their knowledge of the Five Themes of Geography and apply them to their region. What the students created was above and beyond what I expected. Many groups added music, a feature I didn't know existed, and some even added their own videos. The used of this on-line resource is a great example of how we can put something in the hands of our students and they are able to teach their teachers something new.
I think this project was a great example of how I am able to teach my students the basic concepts of a topic during my class time and they are able to create a product that applies what they have learned.
Here are just some of great Glogs your students created.
