What is Glogster?
Glogster is an application for presentations and interactive learning. It allows you to combine different kinds of media to create a multimedia poster which you can add to a blog, print it, send it, etc... Noways there are many people from all over the world that use glogster application and it is sensational to have a look on glogster page where you can find lots of ideas, templates and posters which you can get.
In my case, this kind of poster has two ways to implementing the activity:
On one hand, I think that it could be useful and interesting for students up to 9 or 10 years old using glogster to create a poster engaging education content. Referring to the Bloom's Taxonomy, this activity would be HOTS because the children are creating which mean that they are designing, planning and constructing the poster.
On the other hand, I believe that is very curious and also interesting for those children who don't have the age to create it in their own, using glogster as a way to indroduce content. Referring to the Bloom's Taxonomy, this activity would be LOTS because the children are remembering which mean that they are identifying, recognising and naming the content that they are learning.
Two weeks ago I was researching on Yolanda's resources and I found Glogster. Then I explored and I came up with the idea to create one poster to put on practice with my students of 8 years old.
With this tool I explained a whole unit of science content, concretely the ages of the history.
I sticked in the poster one video for each period and some images too to complement the theory from the book.
That poster was useful to the children to compare and connect the videos and the images to the text book content.
I encourage you to try it, you will love it!
