- An important note about Glogster!
- Glogster EDU accounts are created by teachers for their students, and as a result, teachers have complete control over the content and visibility of student Glogs. If you have any doubts at all about whether or not something you would like to add to a Glog is appropriate or not, choose something else that you are certain is appropriate to use instead! If you have to ask, that indicates doubt… choose something else! If I have any doubts I will remove the content of concern, or the entire Glog, or your entire account (and I sincerely hope I don’t have to do any of these!)
- View the ABC News intro video on Glogster: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/197021/Glogster%20Videos/1%20ABC_NEWS_-_Glogster_is_the_leading_online_creative_tool_for_kids.flv
