Web 2.0: "Glogster"

http://edu.glogster.com/

Glogster allows you and your students to create interactive, online posters - making it easy for even less creative students to make an attractive presentation.

You can sign your class up to edu.glogster yourself, pass out their passwords (have them reset them themselves) and then keep tabs on everything they're doing - once they've completed their work it becomes available to the rest of the class to view.  The education version of glogster allows you to keep your students save online as it's designed specifically to be used by teachers and students.

I've printed glogs and displayed them online on our wiki too.  Worth a look  :)


This is an example I made for my class - they were to make a similar page to be used as a portfolio title page.

Web 2.0: "Wordle" - Roblyer, Edwards, Colbert and me!

Having looked over a couple of readings, I've been thinking about just what e-learning means to me.  I created this 'word cloud' (to share my thoughts and they key ideas I read about) using wordle.net (a free web 2.0 tool - the more you type in a word, the larger it appears on the final wordle) and then used the 'Grab' application (as I'm working on my school Mac) to copy it.  Finally I converted the file to JPEG to allow me to post it to this blog.  

My goodness, what a lot of brackets  ;)

Roblyer & Edwards (2003) and Colbert (2006).
