Glogster

This past Thursday, I introduced Glogster to 5 classes of German students doing biographical reports on famous Germans. Many of them were assigned composers like Bach, Handel, and Strauss. They were able to find great musical clips to add to their online posters. It will be interesting to see how they all turn out. The teacher was really excited to have them use Glogster instead of using cutouts, glue, posterboard, etc. Since this is only one option of presenting their information, I know not every student will use it, but I have high hopes for the future of this option. I really like the way it prevents plagiarism by forcing students to be brief, as with the post-it feature.
