//"A glog is like a poster, only better. A glog is an online poster that allows students to add images, video files, sound files, text, and hyperlinks. Glogs address multiple learning styles and easily incorporate student research and educational content into a web publication. They are free, use no ink, and are fun!"//Jan McGee//Why Glog?// //-// How about Glogster EDUfor a starter?!
