I work for edu.glogster.com - Glogster EDU is the leading education platform for creative expression of knowledge and skills in the classroom! We offer an education platform that allows teachers and students globally to create online,interactive educational "posters" or "GLOGS" with text, videos, music, graphics, animation and much more!
With over 4,000,000 users globally, we are growing quickly and making a difference in the lives of educators and students. It is FREE to register and use our Basic service with up to 100 student accounts in a safe, secure, virtual classroom setting.
With your work in Online Collaboration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
Hi Andrew, this looks like a great tool. I added a link to it on the http://www.tutormentorconnection.org site. If some of the classrooms who are using this are looking for content ideas, please point them to me. I lead a non profit in Chicago that connects volunteers with inner city kids in structured, non-school tutor/mentor programs. The web site host tons of information that people can use, but we have little advertising to draw users. Thus we use social networking. If kids in service-learning and technology projects using Glogster and other cool tools were creating posters and ads at different times of the year to draw potential volunteers and donors to tutor/mentor programs and other non profits in their community, or in the world, this would be a great application of the technology and would be a great benefit to the charities, too.
We host a conference in May and November and a Volunteer Recruitment campaign starting in August and running through September. In these time frames, lots of students creating posters for a purpose could give lots of visibility to the technology, the students and the charities. If you see opportunities to help, please do so.
Hi Mark:
Opening up the VC for third party developers is definitely in our plan. We can’t give a definitive deadline on this but hopefully it should be soon.
Thanks
I would like to suggest you email Wiziq's product manager directly to make a connection and start a dialogue.
