EDU Glogster and YouPresentations that work!
Created by Beth van KanApril 2, 2010
+What is Glogster EDU?
Glogster EDU is a Web 2.0 tool
that allows students to create an
interactive project to display
what they have learned or want
to communicate – think of it as a
super poster
Glogster vs Glogster EDU HCPSS does not allow
access to Glogster
You must have a Glogster
EDU account, which allows
teachers to control student
accounts, and for students to
access this tool
+
Student GlogsThese Glogs were used for Science and Reading class projects. How could your students use Glogs?
Glogster

An alert to verify the new account via email will be on the page, do this step later
Edit “My profile” a picture or image can be
uploaded the speech bubble text can be
changed, students will see what it says
consider what students will see when filling in the information
A Glog can now be created – create a Glog that explains a project, a Glog about yourself to embed in your class wiki, or a Glog to teach students how to use Glogster EDU
Glogster EDU will send emails to this account
Students can ONLY email their teacher
+Setting up Student AccountsStep 1: Click on the “Add Student Accounts” and indicate the number of accounts to add – choose 100 now, or choose to add only what you need and add more accounts later Step 2: EDU Glogster accounts will now appear in the “Classmates” area Step 3: EDU Glogster will automatically email the account names and passwords Step 4: Assign each student an account using the following method:
+Setting up Student Accounts1. Open an EXCEL document, label the first three columns as: “Login”, “Student”, and “Acct Name”
2. Open your EDU Glog email and copy all of the student account information
3. Select the first cell in the column labeled “Login” of the EXCEL spreadsheet
4. Go to “Edit” > “Paste Special” > “Text” – your student account information is now in the spreadsheet – go to “File” > “SAVE AS” i.e., student Glog accounts
5. Select & copy the roster of the students you want to have these accounts from any of your class lists
6. In your EXCEL worksheet, select the first cell in the column labeled “Student” and then choose “Edit” > “Paste Special” > “Text”
7. Arrange this column so that each student name is on a line with one account
8. For the column labeled “Account Name”, assign each student a name based on the class period you see him or her, i.e., 1John
9. Print out the list, cut and paste the information onto index cards to distribute to students – have them copy the information into their planners

6. Choose “WALL” and click on “Gallery” to open categories with many image options to choose from

It is a good idea to have a folder with all of the information you want to include in your Glog: images, videos, audio, word documents (copy and paste the information into your Glog), and
hyperlinks
+

Tip: All of the graphics can be added at one time and arranged or deleted as the Glog develops

13. Images, videos, and sounds can be uploaded from your computer
Upload these elements by selecting “Upload” from the top of the page

“Sound” to upload media
