Glogster EDU is an online scrapbooking program, that provides a new way of engaging ICTs within the classroom. Students are able to upload photographs and information to a secure online site only accessible by teachers and students in the class. Students can also embed yuoutube clips onto their page. It could be utilized in a home economics classroom, where students could be asked to create posters for healthy eating programs for young children, showing pictures of various healthy eating options with fun, relevant information.
