glogster

I actually really like Glogster I think it can be an extremely interesting and creative way for students to express themselves. I would have students present ideas through glogs. They could then put their idea across through images which is another way for students to think about whatever they are learning. The only reason I would worry is because when searching for Glogster students could forget to put in the edu version and find a multitude of inappropriate Glogs. I would have to make sure that students did not make this mistake. but other then this I see this program being very useful in the classroom.

Elluminate

I would not use Elluminate in my class because of what occurred in our class during the presentation. the students literary took over the session and threw the presentation off course. I fear that this program is not worth the chaos it could ensue. I feel as though there are better programs out there that can do the same things this program does.
