Glogster for kids posters

As part of our Digiteachers project, Sondra from Newcastle high suggested using glogster.com for kids to create interactive posters. It's probably nothing that coulddn't be done with other tools. Combine images, multimedia and text. But the design feels right for the audience and it's kind of nicely limited. It's a poster, that's it, fit onto it what you can. Sometimes mulitmedia tools can be so open-ended that it's paralysing.

When anything is possible, where do you start?

Hi Joe - Jessica a year 9 student from NZ used a glogster embedded into a wikispace to create an ePortfolio for herself. You'll find it here http://jesseportfolio.wikispaces.com/ I always love using her work as an example of not an ePortfolio but of how easyit can be to combine and mash up some of these web 2.0 tools :)

Thanks for that Alison. The mashup approach is a great way for you to move the content away from glogster.com too. If you're concerned about some of inane/gothic/questionable content and comments that are on the glogs (i was).
