While I enjoyed thinking through my favorite board games, the application of Glogster for my math class did not hit me as hard or as fast as some of the other Web 2.0 tools that we have learned about in this class. One possible application would be for the students to plug in major concepts from a particular unit. For instance, in a unit about graphing lines in slope-intercept form students may have five videos or images about slopes, vertical intercepts, rewriting equations to get them into slope-intercept form, deriving a slope-intercept equation given two points, and deriving a slope-intercept equation from a graph. Another use for Glogster would be for me as the teacher to introduce a new concept or section. I could have videos and images pertaining to the upcoming new material. The students could watch the instructional videos about the upcoming new material and I could talk about the images as they pertain to what we would be studying.
