Jan Tunison, who is the Head of Library Services at the Scotia-Glenville (NY) High School forwarded this wonderful summer reading poster that she created with Glogster. Additionally, she’s in the process of creating ones for chapter books and nonfiction.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished project with all the linked posters!
Buffy Hamilton (The Unquiet Librarian) posted some great examples today of how elementary schools are using social media to communicate with faculty, parents & students. Read her post!
I wanted to highlight two of her examples from Christina Bentheim at the Dickens Elementary School in North Las Vegas, NV.
1: A wiki page chock full of resources for teacher, parents & students and with a great Glogster graphic as an interactive front page.
2: Her NetVibes information portal full of subject resources, a parenting section, teaching resources and more.
Glogster for Education lets you create online posters with graphics, photos, text, video and audio. Wow, what a great tool for student projects. I can see lots of other fun uses for this in public libraries too.
Though Glogster has been around for a while, I just heard about it today in a twitter post from Buffy Hamilton. Seems the Glogster for Education service has just recently launched.
For a great example of a class project using Glogster, check out Buffy’s 11th grade lit project on Thoreau and Emerson.
