Step+3+-+Basics

We use www.edu.glogster.com. At our school system the regular www.glogster.com is blocked. Actually edu.glogster is a much safer version to use with students because they will be in an online classroom that has generic usernames and allows students to add their own name but it is only visible to the class. Students can also change their password. You get 100 students for each account you make. You must have separate email addresses for each account. Think about this before you sign up.

We are going to go to our glogster so we will pass out usernames and passwords.

www.edu.glogster.com

Go ahead and sign in.

Before we start, watch this quick video that is great to use in class and is very short:

Now we are going to create a glog. You have signed in so let's start creating.

Here are some more detailed instructions:

This is your basic screen - dashboard: This is just below: When you click Create A Glog, this is what your initial glog looks like: This is where you preview and save. SAVE OFTEN!. Sometimes if you go away from your computer too long you get logged off but your glog is still there. A quick fix is to open a new browser and sign in again. Your other screen should figure it out.

Lets all try adding many items to your new glog. First clear out everything.

Then click on WALL and change the wallpaper background.

Now that you have tried this, let's all make posters on a specific topic and see how we all do things differently. I have given you a disc of materials. Let's make a poster about Green Products.

Here are a couple of websites to start with:
