This is also a great alternative to the mundane presentation. A glog can consist of text/images/multimedia, which is included in a "virtual poster" in order to make the entire glog interactive. This can also be easily embedded into websites and blogs. Teachers have access to extra features that are enhanced for educational purposes.
Glogster is a cloud-based service for creating presentations and other visual projects. It allows the user to make digital poster boards with different images and videos that can be embedded into the canvas. This allows students and teachers to create an interactive learning experience.
Canva makes design simple for everyone. Create designs for Web or print: blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, invitations and so much more.
This site allows teachers and students to create flyers and newsletters. It can be used for projects. For example, students could create a "digital poster" using Smore.
This is a great project where students get to demonstrate what they know about Quadrilaterals. For this assignment, students selected a quadrilateral to make an Instagram account for. They are to create an account that contained correct information about the shape and use an appropriate username. They also had to include at least 5 pictures of their shape. All of the posts used the class hashtag so they could easily be sorted on Instagram. When people finished their account page they had to go to other pages and check their peers quality of work. Questions, comments, and concerns were addressed by the students in the form of comments and likes. This particular example made use of a lot of poster paper and physical models. It would be easy to go all digital with this project and have students take or find pictures of their shape in the real world. This gives students another way to express what they know and interact with their peers.
My biggest a-ha moment from this article is the importance of seeing connections between fields, ideas, and concepts. Too often we work in silos and don't look around to see what other people are doing, even in our own organizations.
