Bridging History Using Web 2.0 Tools: December 2009
The more technology videos I watch, the more I feel out of of touch with the technology of today. I thought I was pretty technologically savvy, but I keep finding things I know nothing about. One of those things is a free site called Glogster.
In the web cast, Bridging History, two teachers discuss the many uses for technology throughout their lessons. Glogster is a free web tool these teachers use to help their students gain higher order thinking skills and interact with history. Glogster is used to create graphic blogs. The pages you create can contain video and look like a well put together collage of information.
Glogster seems like an extremely useful tool to use for projects, virtual museums and webquests. The best part is teachers can get up to 200 free accounts!

I know how you feel when you say you feel out of touch with technology today. After the first few classes of this course I realized just how out of touch I am with technology. I have to admit though that unlike you,I purposely stayed away from new technology. Now that I am seeing all of the great things that can be done with technology, I am becomming much more open to it.
