Our knowledge

Hello! We are The Little Ants, the task of this week is about what we have acquired through the activities which we have done during the course.
First, we have to take into account the social and economic context, for example: that the main problem in the public school is the money, the economic contexts, the cultural context (respect other cultures, religions, etc) and the age (mental and chronological). At first the subject seems a bit difficult because we had to do a lot of activities and in different ways which we had never done, but instead of give up we saw it like a challenge which we had to pass.
Secondly, we have to set our objective, what we want to reach, when and how.
The main problem is that the teachers forget the objectives of teaching and that the main thing is the students.
Then, we choose the tools what we are going to use, we have to take into account the economic contexts of the school and the different competencies. A competence is a learning that we can apply to resolve problems that happen in live. It is necessary the knowledge related to each subject to develop the education.
It is important to mention that TPACK is the base of the modern education; to reach an effective teaching is important to know the knowledge of technologies, pedagogy and content. Technology gives students a lot of resource.
Teachers do a bad use of textbooks they can survive without them. Textbook limits students’ knowledge and creativity. They show just one reality they represent the power of editorials and political ideas and children grow up influeciated by them.
Mercedes Ruiz also shows us that are other ways of learning such us creativity, innovation and the important of language. Educators must be open-minded a teacher is a story teller.
Through this methodology we have developed some competencies: personal, social and ethical competencies.
The personal competence is all this information is important to us as future teachers; we also should be teachers in a TPACK framework.
In social competence we have learnt working in groups respecting other ideas, dialoguing, dealing problems…
The ethical competence consists of respecting other cultures, don´t influenced children with our own thoughts.
As students of primary school, we value all these things, because these things will be very useful in our life. We have realized that in our future as teachers want to be teachers in a TPACK framework, innovating and using more resources than textbooks because we have the control of our classes and we can teach through the resources that we want. To do this is important to feel that we can achieve all the things that we want. 
In this task, we have gone deep in the contents of each task, so that, we have looked for the background and the competences we have acquired.
We have to say, that in the presentation of the videos, we saw the work of each group and then we put the scores being critical.
Here, you can see our work of this week: 


Definitely what we have learnt is that “TEACHERS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD”.
