When Mrs. McKain assigned us this project and informed us that it would be using a program called "Glogster"I was optimistic of the program. She described it as a "interactive poster, incorporated with multimedia". As we began to start the process of setting up a "Glog" we experienced many issues the setting up an account, ranging from password mishaps and long loading screens.
As a group we shared one glogster acount and that in it self gave us problems. When we tried to save our writing it would fail to do so and lock out all other users on the account. In future years I would recommend every student having there own account to post there glogs.
Now on to the program it self. In theory glogster sounds amazing right? Music, video, text, images anything that can help you express your self creatively to get your point across, but only if it works. The features of glogster at the time are limited, and can be approved apron. Instead of semmlesly dropping a picture into the fuchsia back drop you needed to navigate a wonky menu system then wait 3-5 min for the picture to completly upload.
Bottom line here is that glogster can be an amazing creative tool, but only when it works.
You captured how I feel PERFECTLY.
