Glogster and Edu Glogster

Glogster is blogging with attitude, with glogster it is not just a matter of journaling with reflections and comments, it has the ability to add so much more - it is a sort of blogging poster. You can add text, images music and even video.When developed it was unique in its creativity, however now there is also Edu Glogster http://edu.glogster.com/ simply put glogsters for education. The beauty of this site is that it is run and controlled by the teacher, the teacher registers a virtual class and the students can express themselves using Web 2.0 technology. Once registered it appears to be an object based web page, with widgets that can be added to make the page more creative, it is all drag and drop or click select so really intuitive for both pupils and teachers alike. It enables creativity and is a basically an interactive poster.
As for teaching, it can be used for many things because of its creativity and interaction; however, anyone wishing to use a marketplace type activity, this is absolutely ideal for. Where the students are asked to research and feedback it allows for creativity and imagination, the widgets or placeholders linking into schooltube, or your own videos and allows both uploading and linking as it does with sound. Resources can be built using podcasts and videocasts.
