2. What is Glogster is a virtual poster board. It allows you to make interactive online posters that can include text, videos, images, audio, and graphics. Glogster gives the user the opportunity to individualize their background, text boxes, image frames, and text style. It also allows the user to add hyperlinks to other sites. The end result of the glog can be shared with others as a presentation piece. This could be used by teachers/presenters and also as a project for an assignment. This could be used by students of all ages, although younger students grades pre-k through 2nd grade may need more assistance at first, but will catch on quickly once instructed!
