I have just finished creating my Glogster. I got an EDU Glogster I don't know if thats how they come or if theres Glogsters normal and Glogsters edu? I dunno but that's what I got... A glogster is used as a presentation tool but it seems to be very similar to a blog.
Glogster is the same sort of tool as a blog but with more features I guess this is where the presentation side comes in.
With Blogger you create a design for all your post and they will all look the same shape, form and colour but with Glogster when you post a new glog you can create different backgrounds, fonts and text.
On your Blogger you can insert pictures, videos and links but with Glogster you can insert all that + plus more, shapes, pictures, picture text and so on.
I don't really know the depth of Blogger and Glogster but Glogster seems to be more student and teacher friendly. When you are signing up for a new account it gets you to select the school you teach or go to or the university you are studying at.
So if Glogster has all these extra features and is teacher and student friendly why are we using blogger?
Blogger is a bit more user friendly, it has it's simple features for everyone to be able to use with out frustration. Glogsters extra features are good but it can make a glog too busy. Its user firnedly but its a little bit more confusing then blogger.
I do need to use Glogster more but I think glogster will be good to use in a classroom with your students. If I was a teacher now I think I would use Glogster.
My first glog: http://topsyturvey.edu.glogster.com/first-glog/

This video shows how Glogster can be used for educational use in the classroom. Very cool!
I'm a fan of Glogster in the making...
