New Technology for Local Schools - Glogster

The local school district is busy as ever, making new ways for students to safely and securely create homework projects on the web.

I tried my hand at a new product, called "Glogster". I suspect that it is meant to be a distant relative to the blog. Once the student has a profile the product walks them through a number of steps to creating a project which suspiciously looks just like a poster board, only online, and sharable with a classroom when registered with the teacher.

I've tried my hand at a "glog", using one of the assignments for the MAMS 7th grade science class. Unlike the student profiles, my projects are public, and not registered and privatized with the school's imprimatur.
