Glogster Mentor Project
Hallie Bennett
ED668: Leadership in Educational Technology
University of Alaska Southeast
Rationale
Prepare students to become 21st century learners
Meet Alaska ELA and technology standards
Prepare students for the future
Spread the use of technology
Goal of the Project
› “I want to find creative ways to share information with my students while utilizing the technology that our school provides. I'm hoping to use Glogster to share background information in a creative way other than just a PowerPoint presentation. I think my students might like the "blog" format because it isn't something you typically see within the classroom. As my mentor, I am hoping the Hallie will share new technology programs and websites that she hears about or comes across” (Tabor, 2013).

Weekly Journal Entry
Step 6 (November 6th): Check in with the individual after a week to see how she is doing.
The individual continues to use the Glogster program with ease and confidence. Data was collected to see how many students enjoyed the use of Glogster in the classroom. A poll was taken, with a simple yes or no, teacher-student response. A graph will be included in the final paper to show this. The only concern the teacher has had so far is problems with the website loading and saving the materials she has created. Internet speed could be the issue here.
