[] Glogster is a site that allows you to create what I like to call interactive on-line posters. Users can choose from a loarge library of backgrounds, clipart, and other cool graphics to jazz up their "glog". They can also add media files such as images, audio files, movies, scrolling text boxes and more. This takes the old poster board project to present information to the 21st Century. It's free, easy to set up, and engaging to users viewers!!

Example Glog created by a student for a French vocabulary unit project (//click black full screen button on glog to enlarge//).
