"Glogster is an online poster/web page creation tool. Users can include text, images (uploaded or links from the web), video, and audio to create an interactive online poster. It has an easy to master interface which allows for a lot of fun creativity. The edu. version of the site allows up to 200 students to be managed under a teacher account. Glogs can be linked or embed into your wiki or other online site. Teachers may introduce Glogster using this group project, however it's real strength is when students create glogs to demonstrate mastery of learning. Rather than create a poster or another PowerPoint presentation they create an interactive glog."

"Is is possible to embed a Voki in Glogster? Well…not easily. You certainly can't just put an embed code and it works. Hopefully, Glogster will start allowing embedded content besides movies.

Only free, web-based solutions were used and nothing is uploaded to Youtube since it is blocked in many school districts."

As I reflect on the various free social and web 2.0 education tools that I come across on a daily basis, there is one product that is always in the forefront of my mind. That product is glogster.edu, a site in which students (and teachers and administrators too!) can create online multimedia posters (called "glogs"). Using the term "online multimedia poster" doesn't even begin to describe the transforming power this product has for students and teachers though. There are many benefits of using Glogster for education.
