Webinar--Using Glogster in a Classroom

I found this a while ago on the archive list of webinars on Classroom2.0. I've really taken away and taken glogs to heart and am looking forward to using them in the classroom. I can see their use as endless... So I really wanted to watch this webinar...

Again, I like that glogster has a private (educational use only) side and a public side--as this presenter pointed out. This is key re: using in a school... Glogster.edu is safe and monitored by teachers. The use of glogster in interactive and integrates cross-curriculum disciplines.

33%of online teens share their creations online... we as teachers need to harness this power...

This site has lots of links for music that can be used for free w/o copyright infringements. This is something to keep in mind and fair use and copyright issues are huge; however, you can use this as teachable moment to teach copyright law to students...

This webinar addressed something I was interested in--the use of glogs from a teacher point of view....

• as a way to communicate with parents re: administrative information of going on's in the classroom
• links to a wiki site
• fosters development and communication between parents, teacher, classroom and school

I also like how edu glogster allows one-click relationships with other Web2.0 tools (wikis, vokis, blogs and more)... And they also focus primarily on the safety and privacy of students forefront.

Glogster is also key to allow for differential instructions for a mixed ability classroom.

This is a GREAT example of a timeline glogster... What teacher wouldn't want to use this???

These glogs are able to be embeded into wikis, blogs, facebook and MORE!!!
