ICT+Function

=** ICT ﻿Function ** = = = The simple layout of Glogster allows year five students to easily experiment with and discover the functions of this ICT. For this particular task, students will work in groups of three to collaborate their research and findings before commencing the creation of their online Glogster. Once started, students can use the magnet tool to add graphics, text, images, videos and wall art to their digital poster. For example, students may like to add images of cyclone damage; or integrate the sound of a warning siren; or add a video of safety preparation instructions, including links for further information. During this process, teacher and students can interact with one another via the social networking feature, and the teacher will have unrestricted access to monitor all Glogsters. According to De Lay (2010) the dynamic functions of this online tool “pique the interest of more students [which] cannot be accomplished in the traditional poster format” (De Lay, 2010).
