While searching the internet for educational teaching tools I found Glogster.  A website that uses a online learning platform for teachers and students to express their creativity, knowledge, ideas, and skills in the classroom. Glogster EDU creates a digital knowledge environment, where teachers and students learn technology in a format that simplifies the educational process and produces relevant results. A Glog is a very easy to use tool that engage students in fun and creative activities. With a Glog you can use a drag and drop interface containing multimedia elements including text, audio, video, images, graphics, drawings, animation and data. Some of the other cool features for teachers were with a Glog you can create projects, assign homework, create students portfolios and teacher presentations. One of the wonderful thing Glog promotes is no more wasteful paper projects to save trees. When you purchase an EDU Premium license, the company will plant a tree in Haiti on your behalf.

For my assignment I would have my students make a Glog on one of their favorite sports athlete to present in class.
