Click here and then find the yellow cloud on the right side of the page titled "How to use Glogster." Underneath it is a video with 2 guys in black standing and the words "Play Me" underneath it. Click on the play button on that video and it will go through a video on ways Glogster is used. (several of the videos embedded on this glog will not play at school as they are likely hosted on youtube).
If you're interested, here is a wiki site that has a tutorial about Glogster embedded inside of an actual Glog. (click the play button on the video on the right side of the screen to view the tutorial).
Here and here you will find examples of how a media specialist created glogs to share resources with students and teachers. A teacher could easily replicate this idea for a variety of different projects...book or character projects, biographical posters on authors, explorers, historical leaders, etc. You'll notice that both of these Glogs are embedded into their school wiki.
Here is the gallery at Glogster divided by topic to see what glogs others have created and shared. Here are some more examples in different subject areas...current events, Shakespearean parody glog, frog dissection, place value, book review, Moon glog, historical diary (notice the reference link leads back to a google docs page where the student lists the picture and research citations...how cool!). Here is an example I found of a Glog rubric a teacher used.
Like many of the web 2.0 tools...there is a basic free inidividual account as well as several levels of premium educator accounts that allows for classroom management features and more options. Here is the comparison chart. Teachers can get a 30 trial premium account to try it out when they register.
What do you think of Glogster? Can you see any meaningful uses for it? What can Glogster offer over the traditional poster assignment?
