For module 4, I created a Glogster poster. Glogster is a pretty easy program to use and it allows you to create an interactive design for really any topic you are interested in. I created an author poster about Cormac McCarthy (http://shuppl.edu.glogster.com/cormac-mccarthy-by-lois-shupp/). This sort of design could be used for any author as a way for librarians to easily be able to look up information about books, but mostly as an interactive design for younger readers to find out information about author’s they like.
I personally think Glogster is more designed for kids, than for adults to use, but if adults were to use this service correctly, they could definitely appeal to kids. I would love to work with the payed accounts to see how different they are and what the different effects are. I think young adults would really love playing with it as a way to share information with friends and maybe it even could be incorporated into school assignments as a different way to share information. I liked how you could imbed audio into the Glog.
I hadn’t heard of this program before using it for this class but this would definitely be something I would be interested in using in the public library setting. If my library had the capabilities, I would even run a teen program on it as a new kind of technology that they could use to share ideas.
