One of my favorite sites to use while doing project based learning or problem based learning is GLOGSTER: This site free for individuals. I recommend using the education settings on Glogster with your students because the content is more kid friendly. You get a few free student accounts with each teacher account. If you want more you'll have to pay. The students love to play with this on their own so it's worth the money if you can afford it. The cost is $39 per year for up to 30 accounts and $95 for up to 125 accounts.
Excellent example of what Glogster can do!
Some projects the students and I have worked on:
- Science Integration, Government Affairs and Persuasive Writing- Research invasive species and create a GLOG as a persuasive essay project to convince your community to help you control the invasive species. You are an expert conservation officer and it's your job to be able to have reasoning behind your poster.
- Researching explorers and create a culmination timeline to show what you've learned.
- Older student researching phonemes and creating an alphabet book for the Kindergarteners. Pair up the students and let your presenters teach the students. Some examples could be the sh- sound. Find art, words, foods and movies related to the sound.
- Create an Author study. Each time you find a new Author have students add to the Glog. Create a board to be referenced. Create a QR Code for the librarian to hang up for the library. Create a share circle to talk about genre. Create a double bubble Thinking Map (@ConnieHamilton) to compare/contrast two authors for a recommendation bulletin board.
