Teachers: start with a Single Free account -- you can always upgrade to a paid account later if you like. Once you sign in, you will see your teacher code.

Students: your account is free. You will need a teacher code to create it. This is to make sure that all members of the site are connected to a teacher.

Begin Glogging!Once you are logged in, you will see your Dashboard.

Most of the tabs are only available with paid accounts. A free account gives you access to the glog creation tools in the first tab, and to Messages. We will be focusing on glog creation.

Create Your First Glog

Clicking on the CREATE NEW BLOG or CREATE YOUR FIRST BLOG button will bring you to the blank glog canvas with this easy-to-navigate menu.

Choose and edit existing items, upload your own from your computer, or link to something from the web. (“Grab” is a paid feature.)

Refine Your Layout and Save Your Work

Click and drag objects around the canvas.

Click on objects to see layout options, such as resize and rotate, as well as the EDIT button that allows you to change content, add hyperlinks, etc.

Autosave is on by default, or you can manually save (as well as preview your work).

Publish and ShareWhen you’re done, click the SAVE OR PUBLISH button. Give your glog a name, add categories and tags (optional), mark it as Finished or Unfinished, and hit SAVE.

This is the URL you will use to share your glog with others.

You can email it, tweet it, post it to Facebook, etc.

At the bottom of your glog you will see other share options, including embed code.

And you’re done!Here are some screenshots of glogs created by students for a variety of projects:
