Glogster/Word Clouds

Poster
Glogster



Word Cloud
I really enjoyed using Glogster! It was a bit confusing at first because of all the options they offer, but after 15 minutes of playing around with it, I figured how to use it. The Word Cloud was amazing. It was very easy to use and loved the results. I can definitely use Glogster in the classroom for students to make a poster of an advertisement or science project. The appropriate age group for Glogster would be 4th grade and up. Word cloud can be used for many things in the classroom. It can definitely be used in Language Arts by writing a poem and associating it with an image to represent it. Word Cloud would be appropriate for 3rd grade and up. Once you are able to maneuver in Glogster and Word Cloud, it can be easier than going to Paint and Word. Also, Glogster has a lot more options to create a poster than Paint and Word.
