Nota- Glogster Alternative

Nota- Glogster Alternative - Glogster is a great web 2.0 website, but depending on the time of day and the speed of your internet connection it doesn't always work when it is time for students to share. Check out Nota- it doesn't have all the pretty backgrouds- but it does the same thing. You can add videos, documents, website links and more.
