Why a Glogster?

Glogster is very similar to blogs. According to Richardson, weblogs provide a medium to share opinions and ideas as well as resources. Glogster allows the user to create a interactive visual poster or visual blog that combines multimedia as well as text. The similarity is the ability to share ideas, opinions, and media in a visual way. Blogs are more than words. They contain pictures as well as links to further information and media. So the question really is, why not a glogster?

Glogster effectively shows a creative visual representation of my question as well as the answers I found. It also allows me to attached links to my sources as well as reflection. Glogster, while it has it's limitations, is a very flexible tool for displaying either a wide range of information through text, links, visuals, and multimedia.
