Glogster

Alright, anyone interested in a bit of new technology? Well, I am always game for any new, fun way for students to present information. Thanks to my friend Melody, I have been introduced to something new! It is called Glogster. I'm not sure how I want to use it, yet, but I am toying with the idea of it becoming my next nine weeks independent reading project. Educators and students check it out!

I think this is the link to my Glog. Yes, I know it is very primitive, I would like to do much more. However, I have "miles to go before I sleep" (Frost); I've got many things to do. If any student takes an interest, I would love to give them an account in order to let them really become the expert. It would be totally awesome if someone in each of my classes decided to become the expert, and then one day next nine weeks he or she could teach a lesson on how to use the new, cool form of blogging. If the expertise was good, I would be willing to use this work as a quiz trade. (In place of taking the grade of an in-class quiz, I would consider this as a replacement, provided the student would be willing to create a lesson for the class as well.) Right now, this is a first come, first serve bonus for each of my classes. If you are interested in a new activity and willing to create a lesson for the rest of your classmates, let me know.

Please post to let me know what you think.
