Dear teachers,
The educational landscape is constantly changing…
…students need to thrive in a multimedia world….
…so change and create a 21st Century learning environment
with…
A WEB 2.0 platform that easily allows users to upload photos, videos, text, audio and other exciting resources to create a unique online, interactive poster.
A new and creative digital outlet for educators to keep students ENGAGED and make learning more fun!
A easy to use interface designed to introduce basic concepts to students.
A series of teamwork mechanisms that allow users anywhere to publish, share their creations, and collaborate with others on joint efforts.
What is Glogster?
A secure, private, and safe platform that can be monitored directly by teachers.
A valuable learning tool that integrates diverse core subjects including math, science, history, technology, art, photography, music and more.
A learning tool that fosters development of essential skills as students progress through grade levels.
A virtual, digital, educational platform that transcends age, gender, culture, grade level, subject matter, school type, location, etc.
What is Glogster?
Educational Glogs
Web 2.0 provides a expansive learning world “in which
the Web is seen as a two-way medium, where people
are both readers and writers. The main catalyst for this
is social software, allowing communication and
collaboration between two or more people”.
Web 2.0 & New Possibilities for Education
The innovative characteristic of EDU 2.0 is
a shift to educational social networking in the
classroom and beyond.
Teachers and students share Glogs; graphic elements, projects,
and ideas. They are able to establish groups not only within a
classroom or school but also within a state, region, or beyond
and thus promote their work with a broad audience of educators
and students. At the same time they are protected from
inappropriate outside content because teachers securely
administer accounts, groups and discussion boards.
Glogster EDU 2.0
Inside your Virtual Classroom
33% of online teens share their own creations online, such as artwork, photos, stories, or videos.
32% say that they have designed or worked on webpages or blogs for others, including groups to which they belong, friends or school assignments.
Almost one in five internet-using teens (19%) say they remix content that they find online into their own artistic creations.
All of the above figures are increasing - NOW is the time to broadly initiate the interactive program, Glogster.
Students are now ready for new web 2.0
technology in the classroom
