GLOGSTER: ideas for using it in the class

I've finished right now my glog about the folktale: How Coyote Stole the Fire.
From my point of view, it's perfect not only as an introductory activity
but also as a post-treatment activity.
You can use it as an introctory element just by showing the pictures.
If you want to use it at the end, you show it to the students clicking all the tools
and gadgets that I have linked; titles with little comments, the video, the full text
for reading and the tasks that I have written for the students in order to know
they have undestood the reading.
The activities that I have prepared for them in here are:

1.- Look up about the Native American Indians: who they were, where they 
live, how many tribes they were, their beliefs, their culture, until you feel as 
one of them because you will need it for the next exercise.
2.- After watching the video and reading the text, you need to write a summary. 
Watch out! You are a Native American Indian, so you don’t know write yet. 
So look at the indian symbols and write your own story. 
You also have an example of an indian story through pictures.
3.- Now you are an expert in native american culture, try to find a legend, a 
myth or a folktale in other country or culture with a similar meaning; about 
how fire was brought to earth. You can have a look to my blog and read 
some tales from around the world in order to help you. 
Then, make a glog, a power point, an animate story in Go!Animate or 
another program, and present your work to your partners in class.
