Glogster is an online multimedia poster-maker that allows its users to create interactive, electronic posters that include video, audio, internet hyperlinks, and all kinds of creative graphics. These types of posters, called digital posters, can be used for presentations or can be accessed by individual viewers in order to allow them to explore information on each poster's topics. Glogster posters have a professional look to them, are easy to create (especially with the templates Glogster provides), and can be shared or used by teachers, speakers, scientists, presenters, or students all over the globe. Glogster is great for education since it is easy for teachers to use, can be utilized by students, enables exploration of topics, and provides a fun, presentation medium for students to showcase their knowledge and research. Digital posters can easily be used in a classroom as a lecture aid, homework assignment, or group project.
The digital poster I have created, using Glogster, is on the topic of insects. It includes pictures, graphics, a YouTube video, and links to websites that teach about different aspects of insect's lives. I listed this poster as usable for a middle school classroom since it discusses some more complex topics about insects than what would be seen in an elementary school classroom, yet does not have enough information to be very helpful for a high school lecture. As a teacher, I could use this digital poster to teach my students or I could have them read it as a homework assignment. I could even use it as an example for a group project that involves creating a glog. Please feel free to check out and enjoy my digital poster about insects!
