What is Glogster?

Glogster is a social network that allows users to create free interactive posters, or glogs. The glog, short for graphical blog, is an interactive multimedia image. It looks like a poster, but readers can interact with the content by clicking on links, enlarging photos, playing videos or podcasts, etc.. Glogster provides the only online environment to quickly and simply design interactive posters. The user can insert text, images, photos, audio, videos, special effects and other elements into their glogs to generate a multimedia online creation.

Glogster is a virtual Poster board.  So the possibilities are endless and they are easy to present.
