Gloster is a great educational website that allows students to create a bulletin board using images and text. Students can us this for all subjects or just for fun. Gloster.com promotes creativity in a high tech way. I think this website is for students who are 13 years and up, due to the fact the student needs to be familiar with computers. This is also a great tool for teachers to introduce a new subject to students.
