I was initially informed about the great power of Posterous through Horry County schools Edtech guru Sean Junkins, (check out his Posterous here - http://sjunkins.posterous.com/)

The great power of this site is to post information such as images, text, links, videos, etc and have them automatically feed into a variety of other sites. My goal this year is to use it with my students to keep them informed, to also allow them to create their own Posterous sites and share their information into a variety of their own social networking platforms.

6th grade Glogs on Religion

I collaborated with the 6th grade Social Studies teachers so that our students would create a Glog (which is like a simple web site w/o knowing html code, or perhaps a digital form of a poster/display board) that showcased the beliefs and artworks of a religion, compared/contrasted it to another religion and that the students could feature their resources and basic design principles of a web site.  Listed below are some of the best and most viewed Glogs that those students created.
