Glogstar

Today I am going to talk about an internet web called Glogstar.

It is a site where you can make a poster using images, texts, effects, and many more.
I thought that this would be a useful tool to use in a classroom. Because I am a music major, I will talk about how I thought it could be used in music classrooms. We all know that all music programs (well most, at least) put on winter/spring concerts, and some schools even have musicals every year too! Instead of you doing all the work making posters AND advertising (as if you don't already have enough things to do, like teaching, score studying, paper work, lesson planning, disciplining, not to mention chores you have to do at home), you can put on a contest among your students or make it an assignment, for THEM to create the poster!

I was creating a sample poster to show you here, but the site kept logging me out and I had to work back from the beginning despite the work that I have done. Tried three times by re-logging in and re making, and I got frustrated! I don't know if it was just me that was having trouble with keeping logged on to the site, but if it does not log you and your students out  automatically for some reason, this could make a very fun assignment for your students!

Here is the link to the site!
Enjoy!
