This Wiki will serve to share what I have learned about new technologies that I would like to start out my 2010 - 2011 school year. I learned how to navigate around a Wiki and know that there is more to learn here. I learned how to use the various features of the Glogster ED U site, embedding videos, resizing from code and all the various poster features except audio. Still need to add that piece in. I wanted to learn more about Mashups and in the end like Dorothy of OZ I realized that I had been creating Mashups by using the Wiki and the Glog. The Glog involves layering of digital effects to create an interactive web based poster to which you can invite students and others to interact with the content and create their own in response. As with all things Internet I find that I can spend countless hours and only scratch the surface of what I can learn and gain through the use of Web 2.0 tools.

=USING GLOGSTER TO MAKE A GLOG -= Glogster is a great creativity site who's tag line is "poster yourself." A Glog is an online poster web page. You can combine text, pictures, graphics, video, and audio to create an interactive online poster.The Glogster tool is a simple to use Web 2.0 tool. When you have created your final product Glogster will host it on their website and as you can see it they can be embedded into a class Wiki.

Glogster EDU is a network of educators and their students. Beginning service is free and you can choose to upgrade if you want to. It is a dynamic, innovative digital site in which students become engaged in class content and create an interactive Glog to display their knowledge. The Glogster site allows teachers to set up a private and safe platform that is monitored by the teacher. Students have individual passwords and accounts which they can receive immediate feedback on as the teacher can log on and check student work and their progress at any time. Students have a real audience for their work starting with their peers and their teacher. This audience can be widened to invite parents, administrators and school board members in to======
