Here is my wild glogster page. It was lots of fun creating it and I could see the kids getting right into it... projects, book reports, open ended maths tasks and science investigations could all be "jazzed up" with glogster. The main problem I encounted for children was that they had to be over 13 to use glogster. Is there a version for schools/ teachers? I have been told that if you sign up as a teacher you get 100 free glogs. That would be no good for my 21 10 year olds though. I must investigate this more.
Bubbl.us is great. We have been using this with year 4 for shared reading contract work, HSIE brainstorming tasks and general brainstorming lessons. I have also been using it as a guide for public speaking tasks with a high school student who gets a little nervous speaking in front of the class. She puts bubbl.us brainstorms into her powerpoint presentations to help organise her thoughts.
The main thing i am enjoying with this Web 2.0 course at the moment is discovering all of the links between the different web based tools. For example how gloggster will recognise blogger which recognises Flickr etc etc.
