My first Glog- A Bridge To Wiseman's Cove

Currently exploring the potential for use of eduglogster as a tool for student expressing ideas about texts. After much fussing and a fairly rapid learning curve through many errors and some issues with the design I have produced one for use with a text.Looks good and the links work, so I should be able to get better at it now! Sorry about the problems with fitting it on here- minimising it cuts off sections so here is the link

Tutorial on Glogster

Rob Zdrojewski demonstrates how to use Glogster- a Fabulous tool to make use of.

Glogster and Capzle - two really top tools!!

Jo McLeay sent out a plurk saying she was looking at Glogster for Education. I have a look at Glogster before and felt it wasn't really something I could make use of, but on the main page was a link to these glogs about Schindler's List from a New Zealand school's wiki. Thanks to the great teachers at Katikati College. Can I make use of these? You bet !! What a sensational way of engaging students for ways of reading text!! Lenva Shearing is using them with her kids at Bucklands Beach and I will definitely be doing the same!

The second really fascinating and highly useable site that I have found through my PLN lately is Capzle It is an absolute treasure trove of ideas for presentation- reminds me a bit of Searchme and some of the time line creating products that have been around lately. Capzle is terrific- combines all sorts of media and provides a medium to link a wide range of forms of information into a very smooth whole. Thanks Tanya Sheko for the blog post!
