Save The Words
There are SO many cool things you can do with this site. Since many of the words are out of vernacular we had the idea to subscribe to the word of the day and either use THAT word or another common synonym or word replacement- great way to get kids thinking about words and just in time for SAT

Education | Glogster
you can change the orientation from portrait to landscape to fit better in wiki by altering the sizes in the embed code. I am not that well versed in HTML but have made it work by trial and error.
height="514" width="380"/
The tricky thing with glogster is that the embed codes they give you are a different SIZE when you do if from your main glog profile page and from the individual glog page itself. To get a full size glog to embed, create the glog in edit mode...save and publish...but don’t grab any code from this publish page.
Go back to your profile, click on the glog icon which brings you to the url of that page.
http://khokanson.glogster.com/Geocaching-MAIN/ this is a sample page...
AT THE BOTTOM...there is a box that says rate it....where you can add to favorites, embed, send to friends etc....
Click on THIS link to embed and grab the code. This is the code for the full sized glogster page
Here is a great tutorial on glogsteredu -
