Glogs - High-tech farming

The students were asked to design a glog to present on high-tech farming in Singapore. They were expected to insert a video, at least a photo and write-up on how aeroponics is carried out and why high-tech farming is suitable for Singapore. I have used linoit below for them to post the links to their glogs. The links had also been sent to my email under notification from linoit. Here the students can also do a virtual gallery walk by visiting the glogs created by their peers.
As mentioned in my earlier post. The use of Glogs encourage students take pride in their own creation and motivate them to learn further. There is SDL as the students can continue to research and learn beyond the classroom.

2H4 - post the links to your Glogs here:



2H7 - post the links to your Glogs here:

I have also used it as a tool for instruction - teacher create the glog with all the links such as videos, forums, reflections etc on the glog. e.g. Glog on Bursting Stereotypes. Tried it out myself for the VE lesson on the topic Integrity a few years back using glogster and google doc for the form: http://www.glogster.com/mrslilylee/integrity

As mentioned the students' responses are captured on the form which I have created on my drive (ICON) and I can easy view the individual response or see the summary of response as I did above. It also save on paper and I could view their responses anytime, anywhere!
