Ms. Sides English Class showed their self expression by creating online posters to share with people around the world.  The assignment was to read a book and report back using the online tool Glogster.  The students had a plethora of multimedia tools to choose from when creating their project (e.g. text, video, photos, and audio clips).  Students in the class also had the option to leave constructive feedback to one another using the comment feature, as well as take advantage of Glogster’s 5 star rating system in order to determine how individual projects compared to others in the class.
