Instead of a regular old poster, have students create interactive posters for any type of literature - novels, short stories, essays, poems!
Students get to choose backgrounds, text style, images, videos, animated widgets, anything they want to be on their poster to help them fully represent the things they are asked to display.Another way you could use Glogging besides a poster is for creative writing, using both images and writing to help show comprehension. The neat thing about Glogging is that they can access the website from home since it is on the internet. Also, it is able to be embedded into another platform such as another website, a prezi, powerpoint, or blog. It is nice to be able to display these things for parents to see and for students to have access to once they are done.
