What is it?
= = **Glogster**  is a [|social network]  that allows users to create free interactive posters, or glogs. The [|glog] , short for graphical blog, is an interactive multimedia image. It looks like a poster, but readers can interact with the content. (from Wikipedia)

**What's it for? **
Glogster provides an environment to design [|interactive]  posters. The user inserts text, images, photos, audio ( [|MP3] ), videos, special effects and other elements into their glogs to generate a multimedia online creation. Posters can be shared with other people. Glogs can also be exported and saved to computer-compatible formats. (from Wikipedia)
