Glogster
Writing is one of the most powerful modes of communication, allowing individuals to exchange ideas and transmit knowledge. While, reading is important because it supports content area learning and the development of critical literacy skills. However, many experts posits that reading and writing are changed in a multimodal environment as the reader engages with texts in ways that might be different than those intended by the writer. With multimodal tools like glogster, the reader decides which signs to attend to first, which links to follow, then synthesizes the meanings of modes and semiotic resources to construct a unified message. Glogster enables writers to compose multimodal messages merging video, images, text, hyperlinks, and audio. The writer is limited to the space provided on the poster, but can easily add and link pages to include more content.
To me, Glogster can be used in the classroom to increase interest in the course through the use of visual literacy skills, to make teaching entertaining and provides creative and artistic learning opportunities. Moreover, it can be used to addresses writing, speaking, and listening skills with the audio-visual items, to enable permanent learning and to create curiosity in students.
