Glogster

I really like the concept of glogster as it allows students  to work as individuals but allows the teachers to view the progress of students work. Glogster has a community feel about it 'connectivism' but provides opportunity for indiviual and social expression 'constructivism'. I think this tool is more suited for primary students as it is a one dimensional poster.
I remember when I was in  primary school and we did our assignments on a huge peice of cardboard. we wrote information on it and glued pictures on it and thought it looked amazing. Now, with glogster, students can make even better poster assignments as they can add videos, audio and are able to upload pictures from the internet which has billions of pictures. The choices become almost limitless.
The only down fall with limitless resources it that it can become more time consuming to put a poster or assignment together. I know that I can become so involved in the process of finding the 'Right' video or the 'Right' picture that I don't realise that I've spent 3hours looking for it. So sometimes having access to too much 'stuff' is a distraction from staying on task and managing time, for me anyhow.
