Glogster

[1] A platform that allows users, mostly students and educators to combine text, images, video, and audio to create an interactive, Web-based poster called glogs on a virtual canvas.

Glogster a. s., Inc, was founded in 2007 by Martin Santorcl, Patrik Prepsl, Roman Smola, Stanislav Šrámek and Tomáš Plojhar, with offices in Prague and Boston.

Glogster EDU, has an annual subscription cost but gives educators a dashboard to provide instructions, templates and a private area for their class (es).

Glogster's online editor allowed users to arrange images, graphics, audio, video, and texts on a single page to create multimedia posters.

The Glogpedia library was a constantly-growing collection of over 40,000 glogs, selected based on accuracy and presentation, and categorized into 80 subjects under 9 disciplines according to the K-12 curriculum.

Glogpedia content was intended for use in place of, or alongside, conventional curriculum texts, for example as interactive research material or to engage learners with a new topic.

The app was also synced with the iPad's built-in camera and mic, allowing users to record video, audio and photos directly onto their glogs.

Glogster was being used in place of traditional poster assignments and demonstrates how versatile such a poster-creation tool can be when partnered with solid teaching pedagogy and teacher creativity.
