Glogster EDU 2.0 • The innovative characteristic of EDU 2.0 is • a shift toeducational social networking in the • classroom and beyond. • Teachers and students share Glogs; graphic elements, projects, and ideas.

At the same time they are protected from inappropriate outside content because teachers securely administer accounts, groups and discussion boards.
