Web2.0 posters by Langwitches

While reading my twitter, I noticed a Retweet by Shelly Terrell and discovered wonderful posters created by Sílvia Tolisano writer of the amazing "Langwitches" Blog.

Sílvia created these posters in order to show in A VISUAL WAY what SKILLS  we´re really teaching when integrating new technology in our classes.

A friend of mine, Lívia fernandes, found out about Glogster in Facebook and decided to try it out with a project for mother´s day. She asked students to write a short text about their moms, then she scanned the texts and made a poster with their work. It´s so cute!!!!

Then as I wanted to try it out too, I made a present to e-colleagues of mine from the Learning with Computers community using Glogster.
