There are many teachers who face oral presentations by their students and other various presentations in the classroom. Students must make a poster for his or her presentation. There are still a lot of »paper posters« in use but they are available to students only in particular classrooms and for a specific time. By using Glogster (http://www.glogster.com/) we allow student to produce electronic posters in an environment that is easy to use, free for educational purposes, and of course, accessible to all students, anytime and anywhere. The paper presents an example of the use of Glogster at Science. Students made posters on different topics by using Glogster.

Students work in small groups (in threes). They divide work according to their strengths, so that one takes field photographing, the other prepares background music and the third designs the whole image. Before starting they determine the basic concept of the poster together. Following the guidelines that they have set together they prepare their parts. The emphasis is on cooperation, coordination and the development of strong personal skills in the context of the total product. The product is made on-line so students can see it at any time as a whole and make changes and improvements. The final product is available to all students and can be used as a high-quality multimedia learning tool.
