After exploring the glogster website, I became very excited
by the new possibilities that the website offered in the classroom. In the past
when I taught a unit on understanding biblical poems, I had my students pick a
particular stanza and make a scrapbook page depicting the message of the words.
Glogster can be a great replacement and enhancement for this assignment. This
website allows students to present learned material in an innovative way. The
technology will really motivate the students to produce quality work and the
resources for research on the internet are endless. I am looking forward to the
positive reaction of my students when this website in incorporated to my
classroom.
