Glogster - Interesting!

Glogster

I just created an account and poster on eduglog. I am definitely learning a lot with of course a million questions about each as I move from one webtool to another. I spent a few hours today reading about glogster. There is so much that one can do to network with kids and I repent that I had not thought of it earlier.

Glogster is definitively a good webtool for educators as well as students to make learning interesting in the 21^st century.

Glogster taps the creative potential of students as it is a powerful tool for self expression and  powerful learning . (I am often amazed by the creative potential of today`s youngsters that I get to see whenever there is a classroom project. So using glogster is only going to make this experience more rewarding).Glogster helps to keep the student engaged in the course content in a fun way. Teachers are able to monitor student`s work continuously. I cannot agree less to the fact about Glogster  as mentioned in the introductory article that it is definitely a valuable teaching tool that integrates diverse core subjects including math, science, history, art, photography, music and more for individual learner portfolios, unique alternative assessments, and differentiated instructional activities.

It allows for more student interaction with the confidentiality maintained. It is definitely useful in differentiating instruction. Glogs will help the ESL students to explore other areas of their talent other than language and in the process learn. The teacher can have this sort of `web-conversation` with students thus making learning less tedious and interesting.
