Description: Glogster was a very interesting tool to explore. It is a collaborative learning tool that could be used in many different settings. I allows you to make fun, creative, interactive posters to fit whatever need you may have.

Pros and Cons: Pros of Glogster are the following: 1. You may create any type of poster you want. 2. It is safe and private for students. 3. Glogster gives the visual learner a way to experience information in a new and different way. 4. Glogster is fun to use. 5. It engages students in a fun, learning environment. 6. It meets National Education Standards.

Cons of Glogster are the following: 1. If the Internet is down, you will not be able to use Glogster. 2. The pictures that it provides for you are not that great. 3. You could spend too much time working on trivial things.

Possible Classroom Uses: I mostly think Glogster could be used to with just about anything. Students could create a poster over different countries or religions for Geography, over anything for science, and over many concepts in Math and Literature. It could also be used to aid in presentations or for explanations by the teacher.
