NETS: 1. Creativity and Innovation Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students: a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes. b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression. 2. Communication and Collaboration Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students: a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats.

Directions:
Students have been assigned and read various books containing some content related to math topics. Each student will create a Glog that influences others to read the book on which they are reporting.

Content and Images:
Use the rubric provided and make sure to include information that makes the message of the book and its relationship to mathematics evident to viewers and appeal to potential readers.

Before the lesson:
1. Teacher creates account at @http://edu.glogster.com/and enough student accounts for each student to have one. 2. Teacher assigns accounts and passwords to students. 3. Teacher makes copies of assignment and rubric for student reference.

Procedures:
1. Model use of Glogster to create web posters. Instructions for using student accounts on edu.glogster.com Include use of basic design tools, uploading images, using text boxes for image citations, linking to pertinent information, and embedding files and media. 2. Include demonstration of capturing image of book cover, moving to server, and embedding in Glog. 3. Have students sign into Glogster using the assigned student account. Have them create new glog and rename. (Use a pattern to help teacher and student remember the address.) Demonstrate where to go for Glogster help as needed during poster creation. Teacher should also be available to help students as they use their knowledge to create this content poster. 4. Review assignment and rubric requirements. 5. After Glogs are created, have students review and evaluate classmates' Glogs to discuss ideas and content as well as design and effectiveness. 6. Glogs will be printed for classroom display.
