In Module 4, we looked at Alan Levine’s cogdogroo wiki site – 50 Web 2.0 Ways to Tell A Story, where he outlines the idea of telling a story digitally, using visual and textual means. Some of the tools were familiar, and some were brand new! I played around with a couple and finally settled on Glogster. This tool is almost a cross between blogging and digital scrapbooking, which I am already a fan of! So, with my Grade 7 students in mind, I set off to tell the story of my trip to Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. My vision is to use this glogster as an intro to Volcanoes in Science 7, with a tie in to Ancient Rome in Socials 7.
You can view my Glogster here. Hope you enjoy touring it as much as I enjoyed making it!
