Teacher Training Videos and Glogster

I had a few moments to explore a website developed by Russell Stannard, Teacher Training Videos at http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/

He has a wealth of information available for teachers and has developed short video tutorials for the resources he discusses.  One that I viewed was about Glogster.  Glogster (http://www.glogster.com/) allows us to create interactive posters that include video and audio.  A teacher can have a free account that will accommodate 50 students. Glogster is a social networking tool because the posters can be shared and  rated. It is an interesting teaching tool and certainly one worth exploring.

I can envision using Glogster to create an interactive concept map.  I thought of concepts maps after reviewing a QSEN (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses) presentation, Advanced Practice Nursing
Education: Teaching QSEN Informatics and Teamwork Competencies, where DNP students used concept maps to depict the electronic health record (EHR). The PDF presentation is online at http://www.qsen.org/docs/2011_conference/QSEN_2011_Warren.pdf
