Glogster
Glogs are interactive posters that can be created by anyone with access to the Internet. These glogs are easy to make and can be used in a variety of different ways. All one has to do is go to www.glogster.com, create a free account, and get started!
Once an account is created, one can simply start a new glog. Glogster is set up in a very user friendly way. The poster or workspace is shown and there is a side bar with links to add graphics, text, images, videos, sound, or change the background. Once any of these links are chosen, a new window pops up that allows users to view the images or templates stored in the site, or upload your own. Once images, graphics, or text are added, users can change colors, fonts, sizes, and other effects. Images, graphics, or text can also be linked to outside Internet websites. Once Glogs are finished, they can be published as public or private into a large database. They can then be accessed by others simple through a link. The following are three of my own created Glogs:

- Who Am I?
- What If...?
- Order of Operations- PEMDAS.
There are so many capabilities of Glogster, put into a very user friendly and simple way.
Glogster can be helpful in classes if used in an educational way by teachers, students, or both. Teachers can create interactive and colorful Glogs about a specific subject area or topic. These can grab the attention of students and get them interested. Students will also enjoy creating their own Glogs. Teachers can create projects allowing students to make Glogs about a specific topic that is being studied. These Glogs can be used in any subject area and have the ability to get students excited and interested in a particular subject. Once the Glogs are created, students can share them with each other and the class, displaying their own work, and educating the rest of the class on the specific topic. This is very beneficial and is a fun way to get students involved.
