Gloster

Gloster

I Used Glogster to create a lesson plan in the form of a bulletin board, in order to communicate with substitute teachers(in order to follow the curriculum) with the Parents In order to keep track of the class activities. I found using the Gloster a little difficult in the beginning but once I fiddled with it, the simpler it became. although navigating through the program became more understandable. I soon found out that posting to my blog and website was a little complex. but overall this is a great tool I would continue to use it in the future.

 

SO WHAT IS GLOSTER....

They empower educators and students with the technology to create glogs multimedia posters-with texts,photos,video,graphics,sounds,drawings,data,attachments and ,more....
