The tool that I plan to use to create my final project is Glogster EDUi. As I toured the site, checked out the examples etc., all I could think was WOW! Glogs are a cool way for students to present interactive multimedia projects. Glogster EDU will definitely be present in my classroom. I believe that these presentations will be more interesting to students than PowerPoint presentations and thus students will learn more because they are interested and intrigued. In addition, Glogster EDU is a great tool for creating work that reaches students of all learning styles. Although I found no scholarly information about Glogster EDU, I am able to find information on multimedia and learning; visual literacy and Web 2.0. Therefore, the scholarly resources that I use will connect Glogster EDU to these topics.
