Glogster!

During my lecture I was introduced to Glogster, which is a unique social network where individuals can create and share their own Glogs. Glogster enables anyone to express their emotions, ideas and knowledge online through creating a 'Glog'. A Glog is an interactive poster where you are able to add text, videos, music, graphics and far more.

Glogster could be used in an educational context in many school subjects, such as timelines of events to enable them to remember key dates in History. As well as this, you could create a Glog to express emotions of characters in a novel or play. Other uses for Glogster in an educational context is that Glogs can be as colourful as you want, as well as being open to any ideas that you have, therefore they could also be used with young children, such as creating timelines of their life or simply a Glog about the things they enjoy or like.

I created a Glog as an example which shows the things I love about my life. I found Glogster easy to use and I could move, add and delete anything that I wanted on my personal Glog. Through my experience of using Glogster, I believe that anyone would be able to use it, however young children would need help from an adult.
