Using Glogster to make digital poster presentations! Poster projects ask students to use a variety of research and writing skills, which is why we assign them. Now you can not only be green, but bring the poster project to a whole new level!
With Glogster, students make posters as assigned, but here they can embed video, create links, upload documents, and have more space to work with than can fit on your wall.
Students can share their posters with each other within the site and write responses to the work. The can comment on the finished product, or offer constructive criticism for improvement.
I know you are thinking, "But I use those posters to show off at Open House! What good are they on a computer?" Each poster also has a code that you can use to compile all of the posters into one big site or into a slide show using Google Docs Presentations! If you upgrade to the paid version, you can actually make the presentation right in the site or email the one or more posters, but I am not planning on doing that. The free version provides you with all of the tools you need to create meaningful, interactive posters that enhance learning and motivation, address some of the technology standards, and have an environmentally friendly classroom.

Here are some of the notes I took in the course. They stop because after you get into the site, it is all pretty self explanatory, and notes were not really necessary.
