This document provides instructions for using the Glogster educational platform, including registering for an account provided by a teacher, an overview of the basic interface and toolbars for adding graphics, text, images, video, sound and arranging the workspace, and a note that users should be ready to create a Glog once familiar with the tools and interface. It concludes by asking if the user has any other questions.
There are 2 Glogster sites but you will use this address.
This is what a Glog looks like. It’s like an interactive poster. You can add video, images, or sound bites. Yes, a Glog is like a blog, with less words.
