Resizing Embedded Glogster Pages
November 3rd, 2008 by mrstetupu
Okay, so my kids love using glogster. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a web 2.0 tool that people use to create posters and my students use it any opportunity they can get. Recently we did some work about Cook Island celebrations and some of my students decided to present their findings using Glogster. Obviously I wanted to put them onto our classroom blog, but when I embedded the poster it was too large on the page. So here is a little trick I learnt to resize it:
When you paste the embed code it looks like this:
<iframe src=”http://www.glogster.com/glog.php?glog_id=1118726&scale=100″ width=”960″ height=”1300″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” marginheight=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ style=”overflow: hidden;”></iframe>
This came out as way to large, so I adjusted the height=”1300″ and width=”960″ to get something that fit in the space I had, so the embed code ended up looking like this:
So that was my exciting little trick I learnt this week! Woo hoo!!

Hey Kerry
It’s going to be so great having you on the e-Learning Team next year. Postings like this really inspire others to give new things a go so I hope you don’t mind but I’ve added your url to our cluster blogroll on our wiki!
Cheers

Thanks for that. I was trying to increase the size of a glogster poster yesterday, so will try it out.

Hi Kerry
I am glad I found the link to your blog from Amanda’s. That was a great tip to share. It is very useful for those of us who use KnowledgeNET as well as blog beacuse it works there too. Look forward to hearing more…
