Glogster! - Online Multimedia Posters

We experimented with Glogster in the 6th grade this spring, with great results.  The students spent several weeks researching a National Park, and collecting a file of photographs.  They then created Glogsters to display their work:

These projects were created with a free trial.  If there is enough interest, I believe we will purchase a subscription for HTS for the 2011-2012 school year.  It does take quite a bit of leg-work to set up a class before they can begin a project, as an individual account must be set up for each child.  Just check in with MB, and she can set it up for you.
