This is an amazing tool for the Online Professor. Web 2.0 Technologies are affording some very rich possibilities when it comes to structuring learning activities for one's students. In online courses, professors often struggle to bring the rich, project based activities they have students work on into fruition in the online course environment. In their face to face course, professors may require students make a visual organizer, or create a poster as a visual aid to accompany a five minute speech that they give to the class in a face to face environment. But how do you structure that type of activity for an Online Course? Enter Glogster...a rich tool that allows you to create the digital equivalent of a poster, with so much more, the ability to add audio clips, video clips, pictures, etc., and create a digital Web 2.0 poster with so much more interactivity than a traditional whiteboard poster.

Here are some educational glogs that instructors asked students to create

Below is a sample that I made on The Supremes (Diana Ross and the Supremes) to learn to use the tool, and explore the capabilities of the tool. This tool is very simple to use, even for the non-tech savvy, and it is also very easy to integrate into a blog, or a social networking site such as twitter.
