Glog: Posters of the Future

A Glog is a digital poster, which is an interactive online resource that is comprised of links, images, and videos. The Glog in the link below was made using Glogster. Glogster provides many easy to use interfaces and poster setups. Once you've chosen your setup you, choose a theme for your wall, and if you would like, your text boxes and graphics. Glogster provides many themes and in each of those, multiple choices of graphics and text boxes. The Glogster found in the link is comprised of mostly Glogster graphics with a few google images. Glogs have numerous uses in the classroom. Teachers can use Glogs to introduce new topics or provide an interactive outline for a class. Homework or final projects can be turned in using a Glog. Glogs open up a new realm of possibilities when it comes to the classroom.

The Glog in the link below is for a high school calculus class. Explore the story and battles of our hero derivative and the villain integral using this interactive interface. The calculus Glog was created using the vertical set up and the school theme. The videos were obtained from YouTube and the images from google. You'll notice that in the lower left corner there is what is called a word cloud. A word cloud is randomly generated from a paragraph of text, where the bigger the word the more often it appears. The word cloud was created using ABCya. This Glog would be used in a high school calculus classroom to introduce derivatives and integrals.
