Move over glue, and bristol board…hello Glogster!

September 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments

My daughter, who is in the 8th grade, was making an autobiographical poster of herself as a part of an English assignment.  As she hacked up her magazines and printed pictures off the computer to paste on her project, I couldn’t help wondering if what I was watching would someday be a lost art.

Tonight, as I was reading comments posting on a social networking site, a lady from the US posted a link about a site called Glogster where you can make online interactive posters that can incorporate sound, video and lots of cool design features.

It is worth taking a moment to view some of the compelling student examples that are listed!  I especially love the Itzak Stern one.

And I can’t help thinking that if my daughter’s poster was digital, I would not still be vacuuming bits of Tiger Beat.
