Journalist - María Mula Pérez

Hi guys! I am María and this week I have been the journalist, so I am going to relate the realization process of our work.

                                                                          
On Monday we started organizing the tasks.     The first aim was understanding what was       exactly our work.

When we had the first ideas and references to start the activity, we divided our work and we initiated the creation of our video! At first, we were a little lost, but each one used her imagination to give different points of view, ideas, etc.

 Esmeralda and Alba had an excellent "brain storming" so we decided used their ideas to realize our video. They use to be original and that day they was really inspired!. Rosana is the best managing computers, she is really well on it! I helped her to realize the video and later I elaborated with Esmeralda the "slides". Blanca draw our "little ant", and although she draw it a lot of times, finally she did an excellent work! In addition she is very responsible and tidy.

Mari and Raquel form an excellent team to complete and to apport new ideas, and Raquel has been our video voice-speaker.




Then, we joined every parts and we got a only structure. We had got it!

Finally, our last meeting to conclude with this activity was on Thursday. We tried to improve our video and to review it. It was the best day because we had fun!

On Monday we presented our video, and we participate in Eurovision! 

The results weren´t the best but we observe the other videos and we learnt a lot with them, so we will try to improve it for the next time!.

I hope you like it!

Facilitator Post

Hello everyone! I’m Alba and I have the Facilitator Role this week. This week has been a bit hard because as we said in the post and in order to finish the part of Educational Resources of the subject, we had to do a video summarizing all the things we have learned along the course, it hasn’t been an easy task because we have done many different things with a lot of new concepts, new resources… so it was complicated  to sum up everything in only 1’30 minutes.

 First of all, when Linda said us what we have to do, we started to do a brainstorming of the basic things and competencies we have developed in this part of the subject, and we wrote all the ideas, everyone suggest interesting things and ways to do the video, and we started to work.

 I have to say that I am very pleased with the work of the group, we really worked very well. As usual, we divided the task, a couple think about what we have learned, others about the best way of reflect everything in short-time, and Rosana, our expert in new technologies, started to learn how to use Moovly, and then she explained it to us.

For me is very important to have a good relationships between all the members, because we spend a lot of time together and is basic to get well with everybody, and I can say that we are so lucky because we haven’t got problems between us. If any difficulty or tension appears we know how to solve it. This course is being a very good experience for us, doing the summary we realized that we have learned a lot of resources and we have acquired how to use interesting and useful  tools v for us when we become teachers.

 We only had a problem with the blog, we saw a comment of Linda, our teacher ,telling us that we had use different writing in the whole blog, and we decided to change it immediately. Also she said us that we haven’t got tags in the posts, so as responsible of the Webs 2.0 I searched in the Net what was that and after telling the group how to put it, we corrected it. As Facilitator of the week, I am very happy because everyone  knew their role and did their duties perfectly, we just want the better for the group, it is a pleasure works with them. In some moments when we have to change anything wrong like the last week with the comic, we always find a solution together. The good relationship between the members of a group is also crucial because teachers in schools do not work by their own and with an individual objective, they work together for the best education possible to children in school, the same happens in this course, we have got a common objective and we know that cooperate is the best way to reach it, and if you do it with a smile, and respecting your partners and the different points of view, much better!

 Finally I want to say thanks to my Little Ants for their good predisposition to work, we can with everything.

Best regards.

Stars' Post.

Hello! We’re Raquel and Rosana, and this week we have the role of stars. During the last week, we had the video of the presentation: Raquel is the voice of it, and Rosana did the sections of the video.

When we arrived to the classroom, all the stars went to the teacher’s table and put their videos on the computer in order to be ready at time. We thought that the presentation was similar to the others, but we surprised when Linda told us that she had put all the videos and each group had to evaluate to the others one, like Eurovision. Then, Linda put the videos in order to we can evaluate in the best way, being critical, although some scores wasn’t critical. When all the videos had been seeing, Linda asked us to say a summary of our video, and Rosana said: 

“We had a video telling a story about the content that we had acquired during the course, and to sum up, we did a summary of the competences.” 

After that, the stars of each group had to be the representatives of their group to say the scores of each video. When Linda chose the group that had to talk, the stars got up and say, for example in our case: 

“Hello Linda! We are Raquel and Rosana from the group The Little Ants; and our scores are... Three points for Step by Step! Four points for T8T! Five points for Education Rush Hour! Six points for C’mon Tutankamon! Seven points for Hide & Sick! Eight points for Brainstorming! Ten points for Teachleaders! And... Twelve points for... Give me 7!” 

And each group said the same, but each one with their scores, of course.

Stars: Rosana Sánchez Robles y Raquel Lorenzo Franco.
