Overview
In an attempt to introduce students to the candidates for New York State Governor race, the Participation In Government class conducted research on Carl Paladino and Andrew Cuomo to put into a Glog poster. GlogsterEDU is a technology tool that allows the Glog creator to make a digital interactive poster. Glogs can include voice, text, images, video, and links to additional websites and information. This is the first Glogster project that these students have been able to work on. The students worked collectively to assemble a Glog that would demonstrate the political positions, background, and personal profiles of the these two Governor hopefuls.
Operation
Students were divided into two groups and each group assigned on of the two gubernatorial candidates. They independently began to research different aspects about the candidate they were assigned, and put all their finding together into one political Glog about the candidate. Utilizing GlogsterEDU they created a multi-media digital poster that represents the research of multiple students working together on the same component of the assigned project.
Outcome
Below are the two Glogs created to showcase the New York State Gubernatorial candidates. they were created to portray all aspects of the candidates, and explore more than just the political rhetoric discussed by the news media. Enjoy
