 * Web 2.0 Tool**
 * [|Glogster]**

Glogster is a tool that allows users to create beautiful, unique, modern, colorful posters on line. The glogster design has a form of a virtual scrap book poster.
 * Description**

Students can be creative, expressive, and individually unique. Also, technology is used by embedding videos and pictures. The teacher may create one glogster for her whole class to use. By only having one page, it is exciting and holds students attention by consolidating everything in one location.
 * Pros**

There is always a chance of inappropriate viewing when accessing links on the internet. There are several choices which may be too time consuming for the allotted lesson time.
 * Cons**

The possibilities are unlimited in all subjects. I would think the main subjects to use this tool for are language arts, geography, and science. This could obviously be used as character portraits, book walks, biographies, and informational summaries while containing pictures and/or videos, and internet links. A glog can link to resources or assignments stored on the internet. A class glog can be used like a treasure hunt assignment to track from one internet resources to the next.
