Fantasy Glogs created by Mrs. Gresser's Students at Rothschild
Students were to write a fantasy story. They looked at setting, characters, and ways to promote their fantasy place. Each student created a map or picture of their place to present. Whether they used the program Paint.net or their own drawings, which they scanned themselves to create PDF files, they all learned how to embed their pictures into the Glog. In addition, students created an animated character to talk about their place through the program, Voki.com. While Glogster and Voki don't mesh together, this didn't stop the students from creating a voice recording through the use of an iPad app called Quick Voice. It was then uploaded to our computers and embedded into the Glog.
