Glogster EDU is an international education platform that helps students and teachers create interactive posters with text, photographs, videos, graphics, audio, and far more.
Teachers and students can utilise Glogster as a vehicle for creative thinking, critical thinking, and problem solving by including graphics and other media to engage students.
Students can utilise this simple platform to develop their inherent invention and teamwork skills while having fun.
Glogster, instead of traditional paper posters, allows students to integrate texts, photos, graphics, music, and video on a single canvas (Edu.Glogster.com). There are thousands of various visual elements to choose from, as well as several editing capabilities to use, so there are endless possibilities for encouraging curiosity, conveying ideas, and originality.
Students can either start from scratch or choose and alter a Glog from Glogpedia’s collection of examples. Students can then type into the text areas, drag images from Google Images, drag movies from YouTube, or talk into the microphone to add audio. Other students can then engage with the content of the Glog by hovering over and pressing the text, image, video, or audio. Glogster may be utilised by students alone or cooperatively across all Major Areas Of learning, and it can accommodate students with a variety of learning needs and skills.
Children’s creative thinking skills gradually deteriorate as they advance through school (Kim, 2011). According to Perry and Karpova (2017), creative thinking skills such as intellectual curiosity, openness to new experiences, verbal expression, and imagination are critical for children’s long-term success (Kim, 2011). To encourage and reintroduce creativity in students, technology tools have been developed and integrated into today’s classrooms. Glogster is an example of a tech tool.
