For me, I think they are both really great ideas and fun to use. I felt like creating a character poster was a little bit easier than using Glogster, but that could have been that my computer does not seem to like Glogster at all. So there was some frustration with Glogster on my end. In my opinion, they are both rewarding and beneficial. With Character Posters, the creator can basically create a spread sheet of information like you could in Microsoft Word but to a higher level. With…

One thing that really frustrated me about the Glogster poster was when you inserted a picture, you couldn't make it wider or taller. The picture could only…

The differences between the Character Poster and the Glogster assignment are that Glogster is more user friendly to older students, whereas the character poster could be better for younger students.

Glogster allows for more creativity because of the options it has, and the character poster would not allow for as many creative opportunities. 

Over the last couple of days of class I have learned how to create posters using two different kinds of technological media. I created two different kinds of posters. The first poster was created using excel. This character poster was a way of giving a little bit of insight into myself. I took an image that i had saved on my computer and loaded it onto excel. I then expanded the image so that it took up four pages. After this I added a couple graphics and some text boxes in an attempt to add…

For organizations in the social sector, however, the challenge is much bigger. To be truly effective, they must stay relevant and, above all, stay true to their mission.
