 * Replacement Ideas

Globster takes poster projects to a whole new level! Globster not only replaces the old paper poster projects, but allows students to do so much more! Students can now add audio and video to these projects (they can even capture audio and video images directly from their computer onto globster). This allows students to create more meaningful expressions.

Students also have virtually any image they would need or want right at their fingertips. Globster not only includes an image library, but also allows students to upload images to globster. Teachers will be able to get rid of the magazine piles they have been saving for years for projects such as this!

Globster also allows students to develop and practice the technology skills which are so important to today's learner.
