Glogster!

Most of you have probably heard of Glogster but if you haven't, I suggest you try it out! The .edu.glogster site is now private and is an amazing tool for student work. This year our school theme is Star Trek and I created a Star Trek themed Glog web for our school. It will continue to grow as the year progresses but if you would like to see it go to:

I will be posting more book reviews there as we get into the school year.

I'm starting a morning news broadcast at my elem. school. What type of setup do you have? What is your process for production? Thanks so much! Any starting pointers are greatly appreciated!

How do you embed the animation from say, blabberize.com? Or any other of these sites? Glogster does not accept code?
Thanks!

With your interest in Web 2.0 Tools, 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. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
