The virtual conference this past weekend was awesome! I gathered lots of info and found news ways to incorporate tech into my Spanish classes (this idea could really be used with any language class).

Many Spanish classes begin each school year with a review of “Who are you?” and students are asked to create posters sharing things about themselves with their classmates. In recent years, I had asked the students to create picture collages using MS Word or MS PowerPoint. The students create visuals and then use the visual as an aid while they present to the class in the target language.

After hearing about some of the awesome sites from the Virtual Conference next year I am going to ask my students to create their posters about themselves using Glogster. I think not only with this create a renewed sense of enthusiasm for the project but now I am able to take all of the URLs from their digital posters and create a website or blog or giant Glogster that links to all of the individual pages.

Give it a try the site is awesome!
