Glogster............

Yes, it sounds like BLOG, but it's not! It's GLOGSTER! In science Dr. Stone and I have introduced the students to this private website where they will creating posters this year. Each student has been assigned a password and username (Lockhart's students will received their information tomorrow in science). They are going to be creating a poster that shares their knowledge of whirligigs. There are graphics that are available for them to use, but there is also a draw tool with which they can create their own illustrations. As the students know, I love to take pictures! They will have access to a large number of pictures that they will be able to download onto their poster as well. The flip camera has also been used in class, and they will be taught how to embed videos into this poster creation as well. Since this is a website with a membership for our class only, the public is NOT able to view these. Even though these are not open for public viewing, we have asked the students to use ONLY their FIRST name on their posters. When students finish them, they will be able to be viewed by other classmates and the teachers for feedback and comments. If you child would like to explore this glogster page a little more, please google "glogster edu" for the glogster educationpage. They will know how to log in from there.
