Glogster.com - Poster yourself - Make your interactive poster easily and share it with friends. Mix Images, Text, Music and Video. It is fantastic!

This looks great! I heard about Glogster last year from one of my students, and am determined to learn how to use it this summer. My plan is to incorporate the use of Glogster in a class I teach this year, in place of a very traditional assignment to create a poster that captures students' greatest "ahas" from the class. This will not only create a better product- because of the links, video, audio etc., but will expose class members to a tool they may not have heard of.

There are actitivities geared for students as well as adults. I use this site often in my work when working with students ages 13 and up and also, their parents.
