Education and Web 2.0? (PROJECT)
I tested one of six web 2.0 apps to see how it could be used in an educational context.
I tested http://www.glogster.com/.
Glogster is an educational platform for over 7,000,000 users. It allows teachers and students to create online multimedia posters, with images, videos, text, sounds and much more.
Glogster allows webpages and posters to be made, which are easy to do with the 'drag and drop' interface.
Glogster creates a digital learning platform, which is easy for both children and adults to use. It allows a different way of learning, which can make a simple task for interesting for children of all ages. It allows children to become more imaginative, and gives them a stronger sense on independence when completing tasks.
The website also has video tutorials, with easy to follow instructions if you ever get stuck. There are also 100s of resources that are easily accessible.
The Glogster website charges for use, with reasonable pricing, it works out at around £2 per year per student... and you also get a months free trial!
The site has over 2,000 'glogs' on different subjects areas just waiting to be explored!

Nowadays, almost people are getting online and connecting with the internet so it's better to have a such kind of educational context. It is easily available and with this we can save our time and in some stage money too.

You have talked about Glogster but really you have evaluated EduGlogster which is different. The EduGlogster is designed for the classroom, where you can create safe learning environments for a class. There is a free version for both though. To get a really good idea of what they do you should have tested them not just used their own write-up!
