Glog

No, this is not a spelling error. Glogster is a website where the user can create an interactive poster about themselves. It is free, fun, and really easy to use. A glog is an interactive poster as the creator can insert various links to other websites. I really enjoyed using this tool, and would see the benefit of having students create a Glog to showcase their learning on a variety of topics.

Here is a sample Glog I created for our collaboration project – Digital Story Telling

Glog tips………

• To start creat an account by registering on the Glogster website.  Glog does not require you to confirm your account through your email but you may want to as this will avoid having to do it later.
• Click on “Create a New Glog.” Start choosing the option colours and backgrounds you would like for your Glog from the tool bar options on the side.
• You can drag the graphics to various locations.
• You will add links to your stories into the graphics by clicking on the graphics and adding a link into them by clicking “Edit” and then the “Link” option. You do not need to note the technology you used to create your story like the sample does, this is just for an example.
• To get the main tool bar back click on the arrow on the left hand side of the poster.
• When you are done click “Save and Publish.” This is where you can name your Glog.
• After this you simply copy and paste the URL of the Glog to share it!

Thanks to Kayla for introducing me to this tool!
