It has been said that "a picture is worth a thousand words." For this assignment, we're going to turn that expression on its head. You are going to search the web and look for images that **show** what your word **means** in order to create a collage called a "glog."

// **How To Create Your Glog Account - Do this THURSDAY (11/10) NIGHT! ** // Step 1: Go to [|http://edu.glogster.com] Step 2: Click // Sign Up // in the top right corner. Step 3: Create a FREE account by clicking // Get It //. Step 4: Chose a username and password, and fill in the basic information required to sign up. For your name, ** only give your first name and last initial **. Remember to click the box indicating that you agree to the terms of use, and then click // SIGN UP // at the bottom.

// **How To Make Your Glog - FRIDAY (11/11/11) ** // Step 1: Perform a web search to find several images that show what your word means. Save those images to the desktop (right click the image and select "save as"). Note - if you are using the AP Images resource, you must be specific in your search since it searches the picture ** captions **. Google is another good source for images. Step 2: Go to [|http://edu.glogster.com] and log into the account you created last night. Step 3: Click on the dark pink // Create a Glog // link in the middle of the screen. Step 4: Use the toolbar on the left and click on // Wall // to select the blank background (top left option). Step 5: Use the toolbar on the left to add your image by clicking // image. // Then click upload and choose your image from your desktop. After it appears in the box, select it and click // use it! // You can then make it bigger, smaller, rotate it, change how it overlaps or is overlapped, or move it around after it appears in the space. You may click // Preview // to see what the final product would look like without all the toolbars, etc. Click // Back to Edit  // to exit preview mode and continue working. When you are satisfied with your layout, proceed to the next step.. Step 6: Click // save and publish. // Please name your glog using your vocabulary word and your first name and last initial. For example, “Proselytize GlennP”. Select English/Language Arts as the category, click the // Finished // bubble, and then click // <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Save or Publish  //.

Step 1: Open your word's wiki page, enable editing, and place the cursor below your definition, sentences, etc. Click the // <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Widget // button on the editing toolbar. Step 2: Select the // <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Poster // category, then click on the link for // <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Glogster  //. If it asks you to sign in to your glogster account, do that. Otherwise you should see a small thumbnail of your glog appear. Click that, then click // <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Insert Glog. // This will insert a small gray box that says "Other Widget." Step 3: Save the changes to your wiki page, and bask in the glory of your hard work.
