What is a GLOG?
A glog is a way to make a webpage (or an internet poster) and a great way for me to provide you with Internet tools and resources that work well for your student. I am currently putting one together for each student this may not be completed till the end of the year. But feel free to send videos or pictures to add to your child’s glog.
