Glogging Some Multimedia Poetry
As readers of this space know, I have been writing poems every day over at Bud Hunt’s blog, where Bud has been posting images to inspire writing. We’re almost at the end (which is fine — I’m feeling a little poetry burnout right now) but I wanted to find some way to collect some of the poems together.
I decided to use Glogster because I could easily add the video poem I did, as well as upload a few podcasts from the month of poetry. I tried to find a good design, and I worry that the page is a bit busy (always an issue with Glogster), but I made this asĀ sort of “Thank You” card to Bud for inspiring me to write this month. I was always glad when others joined along, although I wish more folks would do it.
I also like that this glog is part of my classroom glog, so my students have a chance to read some of my poetry and see some of the multimedia work, too. It’s another way of sharing and showing.
Here is a direct link to my poetry glog, which I am entitling: “Inspired by Images.”
Peace (in the poems),
Kevin

I have really enjoyed reading your blog lately.
I am learning so much from you, dude. Glogster is an interesting format; the more I use it, the more applications I see for my students (I need to use stuff for awhile before I feel comfortable incorporating it into my teaching). By the way, I used your article on Glogster with a few English teachers — it generated much discussion. Thanks.
The photo of San Francisco, the moon, and the planets inspired me too. I sent you a link to the photo. I played with it a bit using the google drawing application.
So many tools, so little time.
Enjoyed watching you play the guitar, too (I’m taking lessons for the first time….some fun).
Peace,

Inspiration goes both ways
