Glogster is an online tool that allows users to create virtual posters by adding text, images, videos, and audio. Teachers can assign students to make biographical posters about U.S. presidents highlighting their major policies and decisions. Glogster can also be used for science projects to display findings, poetry and literature showcases, or art galleries. Users log into Glogster.com, access their dashboard to edit existing glogs or create new ones, and have tools to design their poster and publish it.
