Editor's Notes
It is green and no mad dashes to the store ….Teachers have glommed onto Glogster with gusto, using it in place of traditional poster assignments. Other uses of Glogster have demonstrated how versatile this poster-creation tool can be when partnered with solid teaching pedagogy and teacher creativity.
Great motivator- motivates students desire to explore topics thaye may not have iterested in before..an alternate way to express creativity. And of course, an added benefit for parents is tht I don’t have to make that night before the poster is due run to the store for poster board….
The visual, audio, and textual capacity of Glogster not only will appeal to digital learners, it has the potential to support the visual literacy skills that are becoming essential skill sets for 21st century learners. In The Visual Literacy White Paper, Bamford suggests that a lack of awareness of visual literacy skills will impede students� ability to communicate effectively, since visual images are becoming �the predominant form of communication across a range of learning and teaching resources delivered across a range of media and formats." (Bamford, 2004, p.2). Visual communication is a process of sending and receiving messages using images. Visual literacy can be defined as the �ability to construct meaning from visual images.� (Giorgis, Johnson, Bonomo, Colbert, & al, 1999: 146) To make meaning from images, the �reader� uses the critical skills of exploration, critique, and reflection."~ The Visual Literacy White Paper, Dr. Anne Bamford, Art and Design University of Technology, Sydney, Australia
