Student+Learning

=** Student ﻿Learning ** =

As a national priority, ICTs are becoming increasingly more important in education. Technology is to be embedded into all areas of learning as a tool to improve interaction and engagement of students. Glogster is a creative tool that allows students to engage in their learning and advance their academic knowledge. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory emphasises the importance of integrating multiple learning styles through a combination of mediums (Brualdi, 1996). Glogster’s vast range of interactive features means that the learning styles of all students will be catered for.  As suggested by the Queensland Studies Authority, in relation to the Technology Essential Learnings up to Year 5, Glogster will allow students to “generate design ideas that match the requirements” and to “select resources, techniques and tools to make the product” (QSA, 2007). Students must generate their ideas according to the assessment task, as well as utilising the appropriate tools and features of Glogster to create their online poster.
