Cookie Dough Fundraiser Glog Activity Facilitation

The second Glog that I decided to create stemmed from the idea of Parent Teacher Organizations, or in this circumstance, fundraising. Every year, our 6th grade class sells cookie dough to offset the cost of our trip to 6th grade science camp. It is my duty to spearhead this fundraiser, and so I thought I would implement some new technology into the process. 

 Every year, we take all the kids down to the auditorium and do a big kick off to start our sales. With the kids excited about going to camp, they fail to comprehend much of the information that is pertinent to their sales. In addition, when most parents call the school to find it out, it wastes a lot of precious time fielding their inquiries. Therefore, this year we are going to be using this Glog to transcend the necessary information about cookie dough sales. We will be able to post a link on our school's website, share the link through Facebook, and furthermore we can do private prints of the posters and automatically it generates a QR code that visitors to the school can scan with their cell phones to check out the Glog for themselves. There are a couple different avenues that I could take when using this in the classroom. One, this could be the information Glog that the students use to gain knowledge about selling (as I did) The second idea would be to have students create their own Glog in the form of an advertisement in order to help propel the cookie dough sales. This second avenue would remove the selling tips and tricks and focus primarily on the products themselves. Either way, the use of Glogs in this scenario is a helpful tool for both providing information and presenting it in a fun format that students will be genuinely intrigued by (or so that is the goal.)
