Glogster

Glogster: Los animales en el parque zoológico: I used photos from the Cleveland Zoo (plus one photo that I uploaded from Wikimedia Commons), added Spanish labels, sound effects, background images, and links to the Cleveland Zoo as well as to the Madrid (Spain) zoo. The Glog is informational, interesting, and interactive.

__** Using Glogster in the Classroom: **__
 * The first use that comes to mind is a Glog like the one that I created above: a vocabulary compilation. This can be applied to any level of Spanish, and can be accomplished at school or at home.
 * Students could create a Glog representing the main points or characters in a story that they read, or highlighting the main events in a historical era.
 * Using the Promethean board, I could create a Glog with my students highlighting grammar points that we've studied--finding pictures, videos, links, and even sounds that represent what we are studying.
 * My students could create Glogs for the various Spanish-speaking countries, hitting the highlights such as principal cities, imports/exports, current leaders, tourist attractions, climate, etc. Rather than a report that no one really enjoys reading, the Glog would be an attractive and informational page that captures the main ideas.
