=== Want to create a Glog for use in your classroom this year? They are a great, interactive creative tool to use as a form of alternative assessment too. I will attach a tutorial and additional information on Glogster edu. and a sample of a Glog created for my classroom. ===

Glogster EDU is a network of educators and their students. Beginning service is free and you can choose to upgrade if you want to. It is a dynamic, innovative digital site in which students become engaged in class content and create an interactive Glog to display their knowledge. The Glogster site allows teachers to set up a private and safe platform that is monitored by the teacher. Students have individual passwords and accounts which they can receive immediate feedback on as the teacher can log on and check student work and their progress at any time. Students have a real audience for their work starting with their peers and their teacher. This audience can be widened to invite parents, administrators and school board members in to witness their accomplishments and hear their voices.======

One aspect that I find very attractive is that I find very appealing is that students do not need to spend a lot of money to create their projects. All students have the same advantage of producing a quality project with all the "bells and whistles."======
