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.
