You have learned about the 10 Commandments and the Beatitudes. You have investigated something the world says is "good" and thought about your perspective on that issue as a Christian. Now, your group needs to put it all together...time to "Glog"! As with previous challenges, there are some steps to complete before going to the new technology and having a play.

 * 2) Others
 * 3) The world

Once you have made a plan for how you will show your learning, your teacher will give you a user name and password for Glogster Edu and you can get creative. Make sure you watch the video above to get an idea how to use this Web 2.0 tool. Or click on this link to see a Powerpoint (the PPT is designed for teachers, but is still helpful).[|PowerPoint on How to use Glogster Edu]

Make sure you save your Glog in the "unfinished" version while you are still working on it. Once you have shown your teacher the final version, then save as final and give it a name (Please use your group name as the Glog name). You must then place a link to your Glog on the Year 9 wiki on the "Glogster presentations" page. Good luck - ask your teachers or classmates for help - or send me an email through wikispaces and I'll try to help that way!!!
