Glogster+Project


 * Finally, you get to do something a little creative in Physics class. I've assigned each of you a username and password for the glogster website, @http://edu.glogster.com/. You will also each get a Physics topic that we have either recently covered or will soon be covering. Your job is to collect some information, interesting facts, photos, videos, sound files, cartoons, examples etc from the web and display them on a "glog" which is basically a digital poster. This is an individual project but you are welcome to visit with each other and share tips and tricks as you discover them on the glogster. The total points value will be 40 points so you should take the project seriously and do your best. **


 * Once you have your glog all finished up, you will post it on the wiki. I will give you instructions on how to do that next week in our second Computer Cart day (Sep 23). For now, concentrate on gathering your information and experimenting around and learning about how to add content and features to your glog. Also make some notes about the sources of any information, photos, videos etc that you "borrow." You will need to cite these on the final version of your glog so keep up with that from the beginning. Browsing around the examples is a good place to start finding ideas. **


 * The glogster and the wiki sites are both web-based so you are free to work on this at home on evenings and weekends, but you will need your login info each time. The due date for the project is in two weeks on Thursday, Sept 30. They must be posted by the time school starts at 7:28 am. Do NOT wait until the last minute for this project. Remember, poor planning on your part will not create an emergency on my part. The grading Rubric that we will use is here for you also. Use it as a guide so you know what I'm looking for. **
