As we have talked this morning, this week´s challenge will be a little different. You will have the opportunity of improving your glog skills by creating a new glog on the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, mostly known as the Spanish Inquisition. Here you have the links you can use to get the basic information: 

Some links in Spanish:

Some links in English:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

http://www.thefullwiki.org/Spanish_Inquisition

Some useful links about medieval tortures, from which you can extract some pictures of the devices used to torture the Inquisition prisoners:

And this is a BBC programme on the Spanish Inquisition you can listen to:

A good glog should include this information: 

- When the Tribunal of the Holy Inquisition was created and what its purpose was.

-  Crimes they persecuted.

-  How it was organized.

-  How it worked.

-  What punishments they imposed.

-  How the Tribunal was used with political purpose sometimes. 

Remember that your glog would be more interesting if you include pictures, links to enlarge some information and some video (if you are able to find one). You could also include the origin of some Castilian expressions related to the history of the Inquisition, such as "to wear the sambenito".

These are the instructions to do a good work:  

1. Read the information and make sure that you understand everything. The links in Spanish will be very useful for you. 

2. Prepare a good scheme on paper and use it as a reference for your glog design. 

3. When you start writing, use simple sentences and don´t translate word by word and, of course, don´t use the Google translator. You have different links that will provide you with all the vocabulary you need in English. Forget about copying and pasting.

4. Don´t write too much information and think in the readers. The possible readers have to feel attracted by your work and be able to understand and get the possibility of learning more (if they want) through links.

You will have time to solve this challenge until next Friday, the 13th May. If you need any help or advice, you can use the Glogster Edu message platform or contact me by e-mail.

Glogster tutorial in 90 seconds and some advice

Here you have a very short video where you can learn  how to use Glogster Edu and create your own glogs very quickly. 


As for the project, remember to prepare a good scheme on paper to organize your information and a good summary that includes the compulsory sections. Don´t copy and paste. Use your own words to explain about your international organization. And finally, when you have all this, focus on the design and the create your glog. Remember the deadline and ask questions, if you have any doubts. You can use the Glogster Edu platform or the e-mail. Make your best!

Glogster poster about fishing

Today we have discovered a new Internet tool that can be very useful to present and summarize concepts: Glogster Edu. This tool allows the users to create glogs, that is, interactive multimedia posters, that can include texts, pictures, sound, videos, graphics and data attachments. The main advantage of Glogster Edu is that it makes possible to organize the information in one only page and it´s very visual. We´ll learn to use Glogster Edu very soon (if someone is so kind to let us use the Althia room). This way you will be able to prepare your own interactive posters to study, review vocabulary or organize your ideas for an oral presentation.

You can use the "Fishing" glog to review the definitions and the new vocabulary we have learned today. Click on "View full size", if you want to observe the pictures with more detail. See you on Friday!
