While I usually prefer simple layouts and a "minimalist" style of graphics and animation, after being shown an awesome example of how Glogster can be used in this week's tutorial, I was hooked. I love how bright and interesting a Glogster can be - when done right. It was so simple and easy to create something so visually stimulating in a matter of minutes. I was so hooked that I have decided to use Glogster as a digital resource in a Lesson Plan for an assessment task for another course.
Glogsters can be used a number of ways in the classroom, as a more "static" presentation rather than clicking through slides. Videos, links and activities can easily be embedded into the Glogster and the one Glogster can be used as a web-based, interactive "worksheet" - which gives worksheets a chance to break away from the usual stereotype of being "bad pedagogy" when used in the classroom. Alternatively, it can be a way for students to present and integrate information.
