I have been using a visual network website called Glogster and wanted to
share with you my thoughts on the website. The website was created in December in 2007 and is a safe room and is used
by educators and students from all over the world. You can create posters by mixing up photos,
videos, music and many more and you can publish these for others to see either on
Glogster or through Facebook, twitter or Google. You can make friends on there
and it is free to create an account and to be honest, everyone likes free
things these days!! I found the website really easy to use and enjoyed
exploring it. There are many different designs you can use when uploading
photos and you can comment on other people's photos too. There are problems
with the website though. All pictures are displayed for all to see and some can
be quite disturbing, especially for young children, There is no age limit when
registering for an account with Glogster, therefore small children using it
could see things they shouldn't ! Also, like Facebook, there could be issues
with cyber bullying and people pretending to be someone else. I think the
website should not be used by children and should have an age restriction when
registering to use it. However, when used correctly, I think it a fun unique
website!! There are 12 glogs posted on the website every minute which shows how popular it is !!

ReplyDeleteYou could have embedded your Glog here on your Blog! There is an EduGlogster that is better for school and teachers can create a safe environment for the class but still enjoy all the great tools, without the nasty images.
