Glogster.


Recently came across Glogster, another handy teaching tool. Not english, and its a bit pricey to purchase, but i'll use my 30 day free EDU trial to the max... Above is an artist handout i put together, pretty darn visual...

Here's a bit about it...
Glogster is a social network tool that allows users to create free interactive posters, handouts, or glogs as their known. A glog, short for graphical blog, is an interactive multimedia image. It looks like a poster, but readers can interact with the content. Glogster provides an environment to design these interactive posters. The user inserts text, images, photos, audio (MP3), videos, special effects and other elements into their glogs to generate a multimedia online creation. Glogster is based on flash elements. Posters can be shared with other users on the site, embedded in external wikis or blogs, and shared via many social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Glogs can also be exported and saved to computer-compatible formats.
