Glogster

I am excited about the next set of projects that we are going to be working on in class over the next few weeks!  The first project (which you will receive in the next day or two) that you will be working on is designing an interactive poster using a program called Glogster.

I have included a few tutorials below to get you started.  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Glogster Projects!

We have finally finished our Glogster projects and some of them look fantastic!  Considering this is the first time we have used the program, everyone did a great job of designing your posters!  These are so much better than just regular "paper" posters!  Now that you guys are becoming pros, I can't wait to see the next round of posters!

Remember the two aspects of our work that we need to focus on this time are:

1)  Putting all of your information into your own words.
2)  Not forgetting to add your "bibliography"

Here is just a small sampling of some of those posters.

On a side note, I have also updated all of the class newsletters.  "Click" on by and see what we are up to!

Good luck and have a great weekend!

New projects are coming your way!

First of all, a big thank-you to those who voted on the "wiki" project.  I am glad that everyone liked working on them and I will definitely do it again this year.  It is a great way to compile a lot of research and my goal is to eventually have an online textbook that we can all use.  The best part is that I learned a lot from reading them.  I love when I can learn along with you.  Good job!  One thing we definitely need to work on for the next time is completing a proper bibliography and putting the research into your own words.  Don't worry - we will get there.  : )

Secondly, the Grade 5 glogster project on the 3 R's is up on Edmodo.  Check it out and get started as soon as possible.  It is due on February 14th!  Don't forget to turn it in to me when you are finished.  This is also just a gentle reminder for the Grade 6's - Don't forget your "house" project is due on February 11th. 

Third and lastly, look for your online science assignments to be coming in the next few days, as well as some of our glogster posters appearing here!

Have a great day!

Mr. Boettger
