Facilitator post.

Hello! I'm Rosana and this week I'm the facilitator. This role, as Raquel explained the last week, consists on organize the work of my group. I must divide, organize and coordinate the work of each member, encourage the dynamic of the group and help to the members with their problems. And finally I also have to conserve and secure the blog's quality, answer the comments, correct the spelling, etc. Like the past week, the star role have been divided between two people. The role of each person is:

~The facilitator: Rosana Sánchez
~The journalist: Blanca Puche, she must comment in the blogs of the others groups and, furthermore, she must to take photos and videos of our group while we work.
~The analyst: María Dolores Muñoz, she has to evaluate the work of the group, that is, have to answer to questions as: what was the best and the worse part of the activity, what we have learnt and so on.
~The translator: María Mula, she has to choose five important words about the activity and explain them with her own words but also with scientific resources.
~The curator-farmer: Esmeralda Martínez, her role consists on do a compilation of the references used in the activity, and has to do a Pearl-tree.
~The stars: Alba Velasco and Raquel Lorenzo, who have the most important role. They have to represent in class the activity done during the week, with a poster.

This week all the group has been working hard and I'm very glad with my classmates because they demonstrate their effort and their responsibility.

As facilitator, I said to each member of the group when they had to have the work done, because we needed that the activity was done in time for the stars prepared their presentation. In this way, we had done the poster and the whole activity on Thursday, leaving to the stars all weekend for prepare well the presentation. Furthermore, I helped to my classmates when they had any problem or they didn't understand something.

And, finally, this week I have been monitoring the twitter and the blog. This afternoon I published the post about the activity of this morning in class, about cartographic maps.  Besides, and for last, I worked with my mates in the mindmap used in the exposition.

Stars Post.

The work of star has been divided between María Dolores and Rosana. Our work consisted on presenting the mind map about TPACK.

In the last classroom on 10th February we explained our mind map. At the same time in this work we have learnt what is TPACK, in this way, Technological Content Knowledge attempts to identify the nature of knowledge required by teachers to integrate technological in their teaching. As Mishra and Koelher found, there are three keys of knowledge, they are:

-Technology: the knowledge about various technologies which are applied in class.

-Pedagogy: the knowledge of teachers in practices, methods and strategies.

-Content: the knowledge of teachers about the subject which they have to teach.

The most important is the relation between these components:

-Technology and Pedagogy Knowledge (TPK): teaching and learning can change depend of the use of technologies.

-Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (PCK): the knowledge in a pedagogical way which is use to teach a specific content.

-Technology and Content Knowledge (TCK): understanding on how technology and content are relationated.

As an instance of all this and in relation with our subjects; in the technological part we can find Investigation and ICT and Scholar organization and educational resources. Similarly, Planification of educational action, Developmental and educational psychology, Sociology of education, Scholar organization and educational resources and Diversity of student body and tutorial action are into pedagogical part. And finally, English, Language and literature and Theories and institutions of education belong to content part.

In this way, we can observe that the most number of subjects are into pedagogical part and, conversely, technological part has got the lower number of subjects.
