Glogster is officially open for kids!

After tons of arm twisting (but no reported injuries, thankfully), the technology department has graciously unblocked Glogster EDU for learners. We are thrilled about this!

What the heck is Glogster, you ask? Well, Glogster is a type of presentation outlet for learners. The name comes from it being described as a graphic blog. Users are able to create a digital multimedia poster-like product that can include text, images, graphics, animation, audio, and video. The kids have so much creative freedom that they become highly engaged in creating their glog.

With Glogster EDU, teachers can set up Glogster accounts for their learners, so there are no security concerns. Learners have to log in to access the glog, so it is not out there for the public to view. Facilitators have full control over the glogs of their class.

Check out the video storyboard example below. Click and hold your mouse on the individual pictures for an enlarged view.

If you haven't seen Glogster, I highly recommend checking it out. I had tons of fun creating a glog myself, so imagine how much fun your kids will have! Try it out and see how engaged your learners become.
