Glogster is a website where allows users to create their own educational content, or you can find some interesting and inspiring teaching materials from the Glogpedia content library.
Below is the link of the website, you can click and explore the website by yourself :)

And here I wanna briefly introduce what you can do with Glogster.
1.Students can choose a topic which they are interested in and create a electronic poster individually or in a group.As you can see from the picture below, students can put together text,sound, video, images, graphics and etc in one poster, and they can present their posters to each other and share their ideas in the class.

2.The most intriguing part of Glosgster for me is that there are a variety of hand-picked glogs available online, and many of these glogs are high quality and well-organized! Compare to creating your own teaching materials from scratch, this website is super convenient and time-saving for you to select useful teaching materials :)
and this website is not only for English teachers! if you want to teach other subjects in English, this website is absolutely suitable for you!
Although I am not sure whether it can improve the outcome of language teaching and learning. I still wanna recommend this website to you!
As a students, I would like to use it, because it increases learner-autonomy and creativity. I'd rather work with my peer to create our own content instead of following the instructions by teachers strictly.
If you are a teacher, using this website can help you save your time in preparing the lesson. Apart from time-saving, teaching English by using vivid images and video is more attractive than by writing down all the grammar points in the blackboard.In addition to this, a large amount of authentic materials is another benefit for teachers to introduce Glog to their language class.
By the way, if you want to use it you need to pay for it, the cheapest pricing is 39 dollars per year, it would be a good idea for many teachers in one institution to share one account,although it is a bad idea for the company!
I feel like I am writing an advertising for Glogster, so whether to use it or no depends on your budget and your preference.I should remind you of being a critical audience when you are reading my poster!
