Glogster EDU - Multimedia Posters

What is Glogster EDU

Glogster EDU is the leading global education platform for the creative expression of knowledge and skills in the classroom and beyond.  They empower educators and students with the technology to create GLOGS - online multimedia posters - with text, photos, videos, graphics, sounds, drawings, data attachments and more. Instead of creating a poster for a presentation, students can create an interactive glog to display information.

Glogster can be used for history, math, language arts, book reports, science, social studies, and for public service announcements.
