**Things to keep in mind **YouTube - Just because you embed a YouTube video on a page doesn't mean your students can view it at school. They will receive the access denied message in place of the vide o. You can work around that issue by downloading the video to your computer first and then uploading it to your glog page.

**Tips for using Glogster with Students **
 * Have students plan out the content of their glog before they actually start creating. Think of this like writing a paper - brainstorm/plan, gather the resources needed and then create.
 * While Glogster is very easy to use, it does take some getting use to so introduce the program to your students with a basic project before having them creating a major project. For example, have them create a personal glog about themselves to share at the start of the term.
 * Remember to save often as any hiccups in the website, internet, etc. could result in a lost product and wasted time.
 * <span style="color: #570080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When it is time to submit their completed glog, have the students turn it in through a Google Form rather than individual emails. This will keep all the addresses in one place together and you won't have a full inbox.

In this challenge, you will create a glog that showcases your work in challenges 1- 10. Embed samples of the products you’ve created. Use your text boxes to write about your experience going through these tools. Include what you had fun creating, your frustrations and how you worked through them and how you might use these tools in the classroom. Once you have created your glog, embed it under the appropriate challenge on the 12 for 2012 Gallery page (make sure you include your name, so we know whose glog we are looking at).
