I found Globster to be a great program to use for all
curriculums. I think Globster can be a very useful tool to use in the ELA
classroom. The students have the ability to work together on book assignments
and presentations. It can be used to make book reports instead of the
traditional way of writing a book report. It allows the students to become more
creative and explore the topic more in depth. It is a great tool to use for
brainstorming on topics and ideas instead of using a Venn diagram to compare
and contrast. Globster is very versatile and can be using in many areas of ELA
as well as other subjects.
