Innovative Teaching with Glogster Edu !

Hello everyone :)

All of us know that technological devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops are very essential in our today's world and thanks to these devices, acquiring a second language is much easier for learners. For example, everyone who want to learn an English can easily find a lot of useful apps that help their English learning process. And today I am here to introduce one of these apps, it is GlogsterEdu.

GlogsterEdu is an interactive visual platform in which teachers and students create a poster or web page containing text, audio, video, images, graphics and backgrounds.The app has both paid and free version and you can choose one of them.-I have a Free Basic Teacher account and I found it enough for me.-After you choose account level and sign up, you can simply create your own GLOGS. There are two categories: Dashboard and Glogpedia. If you select a Glogpedia you will see a lot of glogs that others users create and share with people related to very kind of topics like science, art, music, language and so on. When you choose Dashboard, you can create your own glog about whatever is on your mind.   

Steps of creating a new Glog: Write what you think related to any topic and don't forget add picture ! But words and pictures aren't enough ? Pump it up with some audio ! And also you can enhance your glog by adding a video. Then save, publish and share. Yes, that is so easy.                                                                 

                                     

• Example of Glogpedia:

Simply stated, a glog is an online poster, yet it offers much more through its multimedia components and its ability to share glogs with others. Overall, the site is great for creation and outstanding visual, interactive displays. Teachers can use this tool to a lot of activities in the classroom. For example: They can send glogs to their students with links, videos, audio, and photos as well as guided questions for them to answer! It is a fun and exciting way to get students to do their homework. Or students can create personal timelines or timelines of historical events and so on. Also Teachers can use glogster to explain any subject so that the lesson become more interesting. GlogsterEdu has really extensive usage as a teacher or student you can simply benefit from glogster for any purpose. You can explore more than what I explained visiting the site by clicking here.
