Finally our experience as a journalist has been nice and funny and we could ask our colleagues and ourselves in their place and we believe these to help us when we touch his role to us and allowed us to see from outside and from within as is done team work. We had to look for some blogs about TPACK and we have made questions about TPACK  and we have found too a group in Facebook where they put a lot of content and information about TPACK and we have published our link of this blog, and in Twitter we have asked to some people about TPACK.In addition we seek several related blogs TPACK signed them with the intention that we returned to our blogg signature but got no response. We can say that we did not find many especially in English.

-Now we are going to summarize our work this week, our first week of this subject.

Our first day of class was a very little disaster in the sense that our old group was not complete, and we had to go with other group, and finally we are a group of seven people. Then we began a raffle where each one had to take a paper with a role and after that we saw what we had to do. At first we were a few confused because we didn’t know how to work with this method, and all of us began to take information about the TPACK. Also we made a blog and Twitter for our group. We never have used the blog so we have spent so much time researching how to use it. On the other hand, with Twitter we had some problems, our count had been blocked and we had to create another one.

When we had some information, we started to put posts in this blog.

Next day the facilitator decided what kind of information we have to look for, to complete our research  in TPACK, some of us searched for information about its history, other the media, etc. When we were working in class we had some problems with the internet, in the sense that in this class our computers don’t take wi-fi, so it was a complicate to work here and look for more information.

Then, when we have all our information of TPACK and the mind map, in class we did our mind map for the star, the person who has to explain to other groups what was the TPACK, its history and all the information.

And finally, the last day, Monday, all the stars of each group explained the TPACK and each group must to write the worst things, the best things, what we wanted copy  and put marks.

To sum up, last week has been a little stressful because we had to organize all group and understand what we have to do and how we must to do, in the sense that we had not idea to do this. We hope that we will improve like group and the manner to work with this new method for us. 

Some pictures about our week:

This picture is our first and second day of class looking for information about TPACK, fighting against the computers and the wi-fi.

Here you have a picture of all the memebers that form the group Brain  Storming. 

Those pictures are about our work in the mind map of TPACK, how to present and expose it.

 Our star was Rosana, who had to expose and explain our work about TPACK and explaining to other groups.

    OUR OPINION ABOUT OTHER GROUPS.

Teach leader .

-The worst things: the position when one of the stars was speaking, we think that is not the correctly manner to present or make an exposition. Another thing is that one of them was reading all the text that had to explain, and personally speaking, the best way to explain is with examples, they didn’t use it.

-The best things were the pronunciation of both was very good and they expressed very well, in the sense that we have understood what they have explained.

-And the thing that we could copy from them is the organization to explain and the organization and distribution of the mind map.

Educational rush hour.

-The worst things is that when the star had to explain was so fast, we thing that a little bit slow will have better and the star didn’t stop, in other words, when they explain, so much information is not good, so with some pauses will be better to catch the attention of the audience.

-The best things: the star had a good pronunciation and his/her explanation was very good, easily to understand and had a good content, it wasn’t too much, it was exactly what we need to know.

-The thing that we copy from them is the explanation, because it was really good and with easy examples.

Give me five seven.

-The worst things: the star was very nervous and must stop and then continue, and when the star spoke very low and it was a little difficult to hear with all the sounds that were in class.

-The best thing was that explanation was very clear and we had understood very easily.

-The thing that we copy from them could be the mind map, in the sense that it was very organize and not all the groups made the same, it was a little different comparing with others.

Step by step.

-The worst thing that we can observe was that the star didn’t explain nothing about our subjects of this course, in other words, the star didn’t explain which subject use the content knowledge or the TPACK, etc.

-The best thing is that was very interesting start explaining the history of TPACK  and we think that is the best way to start an explanation, when, where, who and why the TPACK was made.

-Something that we copy from them was the good examples given with the history and they have used good resources taken from different students.

Hide and seek.

-The worst things that we have observed from the star was that spoke very low and it was difficult to hear and it was very technical, in the sense that when we must to explain the best thing, for us, is explaining it with a form easy to understand, not using technical words because if a person doesn’t understand that word or some words, his/her attention can be lost, we recommend to attract to the audience with an easy vocabulary and catching their attention.

-The best thing is that they know the content.

C’ome tutankamon.

-The worst thing is that they didn’t explain very well about the teachers, how they teach and the form that they use.

-The best thing for us was that they had explained the TPACK like we were children of primary education, very easy to understand and they using questions catch our attention.

-And what we could copy was the form that they have explained the TPACK.

The little ants.

-The worst thing was that they didn’t specify, they had explained everything in general, so we think that the must to deepen more.  And in the mind map was a lot of information and it was a little confusing.

-The best thing was the pronunciation, we could understand everything.

-What we could copy form them is the mind map, it was very original, and different about the others mind maps.

T8T teachers.

-The worst thing for us was that they had memorized the content and the explanation was mechanic.

-The best thing was that was very organized the explanation.

-Something that we could copy is the mind map, the form that they have expose it, in the sense that when the star had to explain was adding things to the post, and personally speaking we think that it’s a good form to explain and has got everything.
