I had never used Glogster before. In fact, the first time that I had even seen the word in print was when I saw it on the list of ‘possibles’ provided to us for our artifact presentation options.

 As a presentation platform Glogster ticks several boxes. It supports audio, text and image. At the outset of this project I had was very conscious of my inexperience when it came to audio / sound so I decided that it would HAVE to be a majority stakeholder in my presentation. Screeching violins, unnerving whispers and the most dystopian-esque music I could find online! 

Having the option to ‘create’ [ term loosely applied!] a visual background and build upon it allowed me to think in terms of layers. By layering the topic it became easier to break down the interactions / discussions of dystopia from the MOOC  and see how various components could/n’t knit together. This digital artifact project was a series of firsts for me….introduction to Soundcloud,  experimentation in charcoal and  of course the use of the presentation form Glogster itself. It is a nifty presentation platform, one that I would both use again and recommend.
