Module 1 - Today I had a bit of a play and had a look at some web 2.0 tools at the new tools workshop wiki. But what was really interesting was the way they were presented - in a glog:
So, what is a glog? Basically it's an online poster. A glog can have text, hyperlinks, images, audio, and video. It's a techie way for students to create and share virtual posters. Glogster is a free website where teachers and students can create glogs and it doesn't require any paper, markers, or glue. Glogs and can be shared with the world because they are published online. Unlike physical posters, glogs can include audio and video. Glogs can be easily edited and changed at anytime and it has an embed code so it can be used as a widget on your website, blog, or wiki.
Recently, Glogster added an educational component at Glogster.com/edu. There are lots of ideas for teachers to use with students.
This glog tells some of the basics about using glogs in education.
