It alows you to create animated posters, using Glogster elements with uploaded picture, sound & video fragments of your own. With CutePDF or similar, you can also print your poster to pdf. Here's one I did for a conference: http://catspyjamasnz.glogster.com/eLearning-Prioritisation-Tool-169/ It's easy to use, versatile and students would enjoy this collage type presentation. It does have some minor issues, font types are limited, font is difficult to balance across an element. Despite this, I think I will use it instead of ppt for my next presentation.
