Glogster and Prezi in High School


This year, the high school teachers are implementing two websites fluently into pre-existing units. These two websites are Glogster and Prezi. Glogster is a tool used to create a virtual poster. Glogster allows the creator to have a limitless imagination; because videos and articles can be embedded into the poster itself. Prezi is like PowerPoint, except that it uses zooming interface technology to create an experience for the audience while keeping the speaker on track. These websites can be used by both the teachers and the students.

American government teacher Mrs. Elaine Jenkins has already implemented both of these websites into her Honors Government class through her Political Survey project. The students were shown how to use both Prezi and Glogster and were allowed to choose one for the presentation of their results. Mrs. Jenkins said, “After learning the techniques of Prezi and Glogster, the students are really excited about their presentations. I am really excited to see them.”
