This morning both kids made online posters using Glogster for History.  Callie did one on the Magna Carta and Brent did one on Lief Erickson.  A couple things to note if you try this free service.  First, save frequently.  It doesn't save automatically, as Callie discovered today when she lost over an hours worth of work.  Second, don't hit the backspace button on the keyboard unless you are in a text field.  That is how Callie lost all that work.  Third, there is no spell/grammar check so we found it easier to type in a word processor and copy and paste.  I like the technology and the savings on wall space, but sometimes the features became more important than the information in the poster.  A simple syllabus with the required content can help kids stay on track.  Overall, a really nice site.
