Thing 22: Discover Web 2.0 Yourself

A few more tools as we end our 23 things experiement:

GLOGSTER http://www.glogster.com/ : A website that allows you to create a "poster" with interactive features: text, images, videos, links and more. This has great potential for the classroom. Imagine a class project in which students need to present information about a researched topic. They can incorporate all of these different types of info (videos, texts, pictures). Then they can either present on a Promethean or Smart board, or even better, kids could participate in a "gallery walk" and get a chance to interact and play with other group's projects. And there's even a Glogster Education section http://edu.glogster.com/ .

PICASA http://picasa.google.com/ : Google tool that is similar to Flickr; gives you the ability to upload and share pictures, organize photo albums, and even edit and print your pictures. And it's all free. I think the editing tool gives it an edge over Flickr.
