What makes Glogster so amazing for me?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I suppose it is its art side. A very creative tool - you
cannot only make posters but paint art canvases as
a real artist. It inevitably gives a pleasure to the
creator and to the audience who will find the
information from the glog to be a piece of art. Not
only beautiful, it is also an exclusively smart tool
which brings you new points of view towards the
whole educational approach in the classroom and
beyond. I have created interactive textbooks and
tests for kids on GlogsterEDU, set up a wiki with a
great number of resources, flipped some of my
classroom activities, made a Multilingual Classroom
as a part of the Global Classroom. Glogster opens
for me bright horizons and makes my teaching and
students learning such an exciting and engaging
activity as well.

GlogsterEDU in eTwinning Projects - Use of
Interactive Posters and GlogsterEDU Platform
by Rositsa Mineva
To use Glogster as a perfect web tool to create
interactive posters, you need the free Basic
version. Sign up on GlogsterEdu. How to create a
glog? Look for free video tutorials on GlogsterEDU
site and on glogster scoops, which are really
awesome. If you need to make a project glog, just
do it using a rich scale of media, text and links and
share it (with a link or embed code) anywhere you
like: in the TwinSpace, wiki, Facebook, everywhere
your partners are. Glogs work well on any web
platform and also with any smart tools. GlogsterEdu
Basic is free for teachers, it gives awesome tools for
creative learning but I recommend you to chose
Glogster Edu Premium for some reasons.
How does it start?
It was 2009 when I started my partnership in my
very first eTwinning project "Greetings from the
world". It was launched in October 2009 by my
colleague and good friend Arjana Blazic from
Croatia. It was a very successful e-Twinning and
Global project where students and teachers from 19
different countries and 6 continents collaborated
and shared information about their countries using
glogs. This project marked all my next ones with
the label GlogsterEDU, because I never stopped
using this amazing tool in all of my following eTwinning and Global projects. Just the perfect web
2.0 tool for me - the best one I have ever come
across on the Internet, which will inspire you to
create interactive posters (adding graphics,
