Interactive Informative Posters?

First Posted: 3/15/09

Yep, your students can make them now. Glogster is a fairly new-to-me site, but the coolest thing is that they have a separate EDU account where you can add up to 200 students (they get their own profiles). All EDU profiles are private, but you can share your students work anywhere you want. I'm seeing a lot of teachers use wikis, such as pbwiki, to share students work. They can then comment and begin a discussion on the material online. How are they interactive? Well, you can insert videos, sound clips, and web links into your poster. What I like seeing even more is that students are adding credits and work citations to their posters, much like you would a researched paper.
You can create posters on just about anything: historical figures, characters in a story, book covers, web quests, how-tos, anything informative, students can even express their own individualities. Check it out!
