Using Glogster?

I’ve been hearing/reading quite a bit about Glogster lately, especially with the more recent launch of Glogster EDU, an education-optimised version, so I set out to figure out what exactly it was all about.

This is where I tried tapping upon the power of Twitter – I didn’t really have the time to look into it in detail then, so I sent a short tweet out requesting for help, receiving a response a few hours down the road. The site was a little too comprehensive, though, so I ended up curiously resorting to trusty old Wikipedia. Essentially, it’s a multimedia poster creation site.

While exploring further, I’d stumbled upon a certain misterchan’s (a fellow Singaporean, I suspect) Glogster site, and though he’s done attractive posters for his students, I don’t think that’s what I want to be doing with mine – I think it’ll be more useful if they’re the ones who get to create their own content. It seems interesting enough, and I kinda wish I’d known of its existence back when I’d asked my students to create advertisements of their own last term, but at the moment I can’t really think of any other applications for it.

Seems to me it might be more relevant for primary school students or perhaps lower secondary students. Any other opinions?
