Glogster Presentation

Glogster is an online platform for digital learning enabling more than 14 million students and 1.5 million teachers worldwide to adopt modern principles and methods of learning by using the Glog interface.
Glog is an interface for mixing text, audio, video, images, graphics and data.They provide a canvas freedom with portrait and landscape options, an editing tool and simple drag and drop function for adding media.
Glogs provides teachers and students with a virtual teaching and learning space. Glogster edu creates learning environments which embody the attributes shown below:

Learner Centered
They are easy to use, flexible and allows for different learning styles

Knowledge Centred
The online poster is a means for students to display their knowledge of topic. It also enables collaborative projects in which students can work together to construct and extend their learning.

Assessment Centred
This enables teachers and students to provide timely feedback on their glogs within its internal messaging system.

Community Centred
Facilitates teacher - student interaction due to its asynchronous parent/community interaction. Glogs can be embedded into classroom websites to foster participation.

After exploring the affordances and technical features of various presentation such as prezi, powerpoint, keynote and glogster we can learn that the choice of tools is dependent on the needs of the learner. It is also dependent on the type and purpose of the presentation.
