Glogster
This experience with technology was new to me, although the basic elements of uploading and editing are similar to most other presentation programs. I found this particular activity very interactive and enjoyable, perhaps that is because I enjoyably create scrapbooking albums in my spare time. I have realised also, this could be used to reflect or present excursion and camp adventures. My Glogster was used to demonstrate a science experiment, with photographs as evidence of this procedure and 'post-it' style areas used for text communication. Perhaps it could also be used as a technological version of the tradition 'project' or 'poster' presentation, instead of the use of a cardboard poster with pictures and information. It may also be used for a teacher to present an assignment task to a student. I would use it in a way that instructions are clear and in point form, with supporting images. The images would be either what students should aim for, or what students need to include, in their assignment. Unfortunately, I could not find ways in which other students could interact with a person's glogster, other than to observe then respond in another form (verbal response, blog/wiki comment, etc). The other problem I had with this program is its complications with highlighting individual parts on the page. It seemed to continually highlight more than I was wanting or needing to change. Student's may find this frustrating and very time consuming, which leads to lack of interest and incomplete work.
