Glogster

Introductions are key to first impressions. First impressions are key to human nature. Whether or not people notice them, subconsciously, everyone notices first impressions and everyone makes mental notes of them. My first impression for the rest of the class was with a website that features a modern technology called  Glosgter. Glogster is a website that allows the person to create a webpage. These can include a collage, a timeline, or a fact page. I could have easily introduced myself vocally or by writing something down. However, that is not as engaging as a newer technological website such as Glogster. Everyone in this class got assigned a different website. This is the one I worked with. This is a great website for Social Studies! Timelines are available for this website and students can create a timeline for a historical event, like a war, create a timeline of a persons life, like a timeline of President George Washington, or even a timeline of America, from Colonies to today. Another resource for this website would be the collage. A student can make a collage instead of a end of the unit test. For example, after learning about the Native Americans, the students can create a historical collage to be submitted for grading.

My introduction, using this Glogster website, was a timeline. This timeline was from birth to today and hit on several key points of my life. Some key points are: my sister's birth, my trip to California and the professional development workshop I attended, and where I am today-MSMC.
This website, students can use videos, pictures, fonts, clipart, color, styles, backgrounds, and so much more. The website pretty much allows the student to create any creative design they want to. This is a wonderful addition to an introduction that will make it memorable, one that looks very complicated and fancy; yet, is easy to finish, and informative.
