Glogster Cultural Influences Poster

                For me the Glogster project was fun because I had never made an online poster witch was really fun for me. The parts I liked the most about it were that we got to pick any place that we wanted to pick. The parts that were most challenging were finding the reaserch for stuff like clothing, costoms/belives, and holidays/festivals. Making the Glogster poster helped me learn more about social studies because it helped me learn more about culture, and I even learned what influences means! Making the Glogster poster helped me learn more about technology because I now know that it is more easy to work on the computer. One way this project can be changed so that it is better for classes in the future is
