Name of Tool:

 * Glogster**

Does tool require Sign-in?
Does not require account but you have the option of creating a glogster account. Glogster EDU does require you to sign up, but does not cost anything to use

Description of Tool:
Used to created digital posters that can be used as supplemental educational material. Also contains an option to use Glogster EDU, which is used specifically for teachers. The free version is meant to be used for up to 100 students. When you are making a glog you can combine several different forms of media like video or images.

How does tool apply to your curricular area?
Glogster could be applied to teaching science by having students create their own glogs for a specific topic and then have them use that to not only learn it themselves but in order to help teach the rest of the class. On a more basic level it could be used just after a subject is learned to help to supplement that by making a poster describing the material that has just been learned. It could also be used to help students learn more complex concepts and ideas. This could be something such as how bodily systems work.

Glogster could be used when teaching English by having the students read a piece of work or watch a video, and then use Glogster to see what they actually got from the reading or film. Possibly give them a prompt, and have them use this website to answer the question(s). Instead of having them write a paper or answer a bunch of questions on the topic of the reading or film, Glosgster will show to me and the class how these students viewed the reading and video in a more creative and open minded way.

Where does tool fit in Digital Blooms and why?
Remember- Taking what you were taught, and being able to repeat it into your glog will allow you to remember it.

Understand- Shows an understanding of what the students learned, by being able to “regurgitate” it into a glog.

Create- Allows the students to create something about a particular topic in a way that expresses their views/ insight on the topic.
