Glogging

That's not a misspelling.

Thanks to one of my Cabrini students this summer, I became acquainted with the Glogster Education site. This is a place where students create online posters that can include text, graphics, photos, animation and embedded video. It's a great, free site that sets up perfectly for teachers - secure accounts for up to 200 students and easy-to-use controls for the budding website designer.

Initially I will be offering it as an elective choice for 5th - 8th graders. As the year progresses, I hope to incorporate Glogster into an option for classroom projects.
