This week I have chosen to discuss Glogster. Glogster is a tool for interactive learning and digital storytelling. This tool uses a range of media expressions to create an endless possibility of multimedia posters. Through the utilisation of this online tool, students and teachers can develop ICT capabilities and explore collaborative learning.
Glogster has a range of template available and pre-made posters for a range of subject areas and year levels. However, there is an option to create a poster to suit individual classrooms.
Personally, I would use Glogster in my Grade twelve Geography class, using the four levels of the SAMR model.
On the substitution level, I would use a poster to introduce the topic of a field report. For Augmentation, the students would fill in the poster, using the pictures and videos embedded in it. Then they would be quizzed to check for understanding.
On the modification level, students would develop their own poster as a scaffold for their field report. This poster would outline the content in each section and would have their desired pictures attached.
To redefine the task, students would create a field report poster. This poster would include an audio of their findings and interactive 3D images of their findings.
Overall, Glogster is a very easy digital tool to use which allows the creation of a range of posters. Glogster enhances technological capabilities and ensure students use creativity with the classroom.

ReplyDeleteGeorgia,
ReplyDeleteI found the description that you provided on the Glogster great, and how you can relate it to geography intriguing.
Glogster sounds so much easier to understand now. Can you share/post your Glogster for other people to see/ comment on?
