I love Glogster!

I really enjoyed the Glogster assignment.  I think this tool has so much potential for use in the classroom, primarily because it is so engaging.  I think students will love the idea of navigating their way through the pathfinder at their leisure, based on what is most interesting to them.  As a result, I believe I can use this tool in a variety of ways, from introducing a new unit, to providing background on a text we are reading in class, and it will still be engaging for my students.
I created a Glogster pathway to be used as a supplement to reading Le Petit Prince in class.  The purpose was to provide background information on Saint-Exupery's life, the setting on which Le Petit Prince was based, and the primary symbols used throughout the book.  When reading a text in class, I think learning about the author and his or her perspective is extremely important to gaining a thorough understanding of the text's true message.  Glogster is a great way to provide students with access to this type of information, which some students can find boring or unimportant.  I think that giving them the control to find this information in the way they choose will make the task a more positive experience for them.
Another potential use for Glogster would be to link students to cultural content within a unit.  Culture is one of content standards for world language learning, and I would love to add a significant chunk of cultural content to each of my units. I am taking World Language Methods this semester as well, and I need to create a full unit of lesson plans as a final project.  I have decided to do my unit on "Communities,"and use this as an opportunity to talk about different types of communities (urban vs. rural), as well as community leaders.  I will use the content as a springboard to teach the grammar and vocabulary.  I can envision using Glogster as a means to introduce this cultural content.  For example, a Glogster pathway that focuses on urban vs. rural communities could include links to video and news stories about important issues facing urban (ie, pollution, environmental) and rural (ie, jobs) communities, as well as issues they share.  It could also include images of authentic French advertisements from both communities.  A Glogster pathway on community leaders could include links to information about the French perspective on the US presidential election, or the recent French presidential election.
Overall, I find Glogster to be a robust tool to use in the classroom.  I'd even love to have students create their own Glogster pathways as an alternative to a report about a given topic!
