Classroom Spotlight: Using Glogster to support digital literacy

September 30, 2010 by Jeremy Jones

Last week, YES Prep Southeast teacher and 2009 Teach For America Houston Corps Member, Marjorie’s Spanish I kids used Glogster to create glogs (interactive posters) about influential Hispanic figures, including Selena Quintanilla Perez, deceased Tejano singer, and Lionel Sosa, marketing visionary. Using the resource, students incorporated text, images, music, and video to demonstrate their knowledge, ideas, and creativity. They presented their interactive posters to their classmates and classroom visitors last Friday, and it was great to see students and staff so engaged by this digital classroom experience.
