Glogster is a website that allows students to create online posters, called glogs, for various purposes such as recounting historical events, explaining problem solving techniques, and sharing research. The glogs can include text boxes, graphics, images, videos, and music. Students select a template or wall background and then add and edit various elements. It is important to save work periodically and share the final glog with teachers. Glogster provides many options for customizing and enhancing student projects.
