Curator farmer by Rocío Ramón
This week I have been the curator farmer, it has been a different week because, for personal reasons I have missed quite a class and I could not spend much time with my teammates. But next week I'll try and make all my teammates working more. As curator farmer I have learned to use pearl tree that I find very interesting and a great way to organize your work and have referenced it. It has been fun to discover for myself how to use it and once I already knew was very easy. The worst being cuartor farmer this week has been that there was not much reference as there was no looking information if not use our previous work. I am very happy with my group and I are all hard workers and imagintavos, or I hope we progress each week and we can be the best!

Facilitator by Rosana Yepes
Hello
everybody!
The last
week I have been the facilitator, the boss of the group. To be honest, I was
wishing to be the facilitator in order to know what it feels. My feelings have
been good at whiles. I mean, when I divided the work and we were thinking on it
were wonderful, but when we were until the last moment doing the video not at
all.
As I have
mentioned before, we had to make a video. So, my first impression was:
Wonderful! I love doing artistic things! However, we had to use a program for
us and the worst thing, we only had 1.30 minute!
Truly, we
were leaving and leaving the work due to the amount of things that we had to do
and honestly I was expecting that Linda uploaded the instructions. When I realized
that the time passed and we had not done anything, I decided to divide the
work. My strategy was based on each couple did a topic in regard to the topic
that they were the analyst, for example in my case I did the topic of the dark
side of testbooks, because I had been the analyst the previous week.
I made this
decision because I think the analyst is the person that uses up the most the
topic due to he or she must summarize and tell the true essence of the activity.
And in this way, he or she could represent better him or her topic.
However, we
had some discussion due to we didn’t know exactly the limitations of the
program. Fortunately, it was solved quickly.
We were until the last moment doing the video, but it was a funny
situation for me. However, it doesn’t care because the really important thing was
the result, and from my point of view the result was amazing, we picked up
everything that we have learnt exactly.
Curiously,
during the watching video I didn’t watch it, but Linda´s face since I was aware
to I was the major responsible. Even we weren’t the group with more votes, Linda
liked our video I could read her face and her mind and it is the really
important.
Once more, I
admit that I am proud of my group, above all when we are thinking the ideas and
we make continue mention at our name: brainstorming.
Congratulation
partners!!
Translator by María Moreno
These week
I´ve been the translator and I think that these final part has to summary the
basic things that we must have in mind when we work in some activities. So
after a great time thinking I get in the conclusion that these are the basic
words that we should know in order to reach our goals.
WEB 2.0 TOOL
A web 2.0
tool is the one which allows people to create, publish and share information on
the internet without any knowledge of technical tools.
INNOVATION
The process
of making changes to something established by introducing something new. We need
to have in mind that nowadays, technology is a significant driver behind
change, and sometimes plays an important role in innovations in educational
design and delivery.
PROJECT
An
individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned to achieve a
particular aim.
EXPECTATION
It can be
define as a believing that something is going to happen or that something
should be in a certain way.
SKILL
Is the
learned ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results often within a
given amount of time, energy, or both.
My role as
the translator is very interesting, because I have to think about how can I explain
our work in only five important words, so I have to read the contents and take
the basic ideas to join them and summarise.
I´m very
glad with the final result of these week, we have learnt how to use Moovly and
hoy to summarize our work in only a small video.
CONGRATULATIONS
TO MY COLLEGUES!

Analyst by Feli Travieso.
Imagine that two people are carving a
six-foot slab of wood at the same time. One is using a hand-chisel, the other,
a chainsaw. If you were interested in the future of that slab, whom would you
watch?
The best part of the activity we had to perform this
week, was the opportunity to learn a wide variety of paths to search and create
your own information with innovative tools, in order to successfully synthetize
the skills that we have acquired during this period. I have to say that not
only has it been quite motivating, but also has helped us to get gradually more
confident with new ways of transmitting knowledge.
Technology is not only on the rise, but it is also
dramatically spreading and evolving, so discovering a new tool like Moovly
has been exciting as it is a very useful application to use with children being
visual and helping on catching their attention to transmit the message.
On the other
hand, the most ghastly part was that in order to be proficient in using a video
program as Moovly or PowToon among others, requires not
only time (scarce this week), but also patience, and constancy( features not
well developed).
Using this new method is a way to acquire or trying to
achieve a new skill, which is to be able to foresee in a near future a good way
to control time in a classroom when we have to be faced with a wide variety of
diverse students. Why? Because going through this new and challenging task has
taught us that in order to be proficient when given a lesson to future students
in a class without surpassing the time, we as professionals, have to invest
time and effort to transform a 50-minute class in a productive and rewarding
experience for teaching-learning.
The best moment of the week was during the
presentation, seeing that two groups, Come On Tutankamon and T8T, have done a great
job and achieved the goal. They have been able to synthesize the contents in a
clear, cohesive and attractive presentation and in the given time, which states
they have worked hard and together as a team. It was a pleasure to see their
faces were they were scored as the best ones on the class.
On the other hand
and at the same time, the worst part of the week was when realising our work did not achive
expectations. This was for clear reasons, to name it: incoordination, lack of
interest of some integrants, working at the very last moment running like
chickens with not head.
Another bad moment
was to witness that even though the work
done by giveme7, which on my opinion it has been the best group all
this time, was not scored as I was specting and I could clearly see some signs
of langhisment among some of the integrants, due to the fact that they work so
hard on this project.
These facts send as a clear message to learn: working
in groups is important as long as all the members are playing at the same
court. Leonardo Messi would not be a football star if he did not receive
his teammates unconditional support. Therefore it is necessary to put all
members capacities together in order to create synergy, but sadly, teamwork is
understood as splitting the work, and that fact will affect the way we are
learning this subject as well as other subjects working with the same system.
For that
reason, the main goal
would be to understand that working in groups does not mean splitting the tasks
in order to become more proactive, on the contrary, as a team we all should
clearly being acquainted and share all the information we find in order to help
our classmates in case that one or more if for for any reason are not able to
perform as good as they should any of the remaining integrant are able to
substitute them without problems.
In order to get better, we really need to work as a group,
as if we were ONE PIECE belonging to
a device, setting above the group
before personal interest. Everyone should work for the group and do not expect
the group to work for him/her.
This content is very related to the course and the
whole degree as it can be applied in any subject, as mentioned above.
And finally, every step, every though, every effort we
make to progress in this subject is increasingly connected on the same
direction society in general should cope in order to be capable to exceed other’s
expectation.
The Star by Raquel Pelayo
This week I
have been the star of my group. So, we have to make a video, with the program "moovly," explaining what we
have learnt in this part of the subject. Then, today in class we have seen all the
videos of the other groups and put a score, the highest score is 12 points and
the lowest score is 3 points. After discuss with all the members of our group about
the scores or each video (more or less we were in agreement) the stars of each
group have said the scores saying which video was the best. Finally there have
been two winners: the video of “Hide and Seek” and “C’mon Tutankamon”, the
prize for both group is an appetizer paid by Linda (our teacher).
CONGRATULATIONS!!
The Journalist by Cristian Paco & Fernando Tortosa
This week, Cristian and Fernando are the journalist, and about our fellings this week we can say that it has been one of the most exciting activities and we all were very motivated with our moovly project.
At the end of the videos presentations we did a kind of contest where we had to put scores to rate the other groups; The winners of this week are Hide and Seek and C'mon tutankamon, we have to say Congratulations to both of them!!
But we are working hard and we hope we will win the next week activity
We did enjoy all the videos but we are going to analyse and comment the other groups videos because we think that each one had an interesting thing to remark:
Hide and seek:
They have explained all our course with a story in which some characters travelled to a world called #Soyer1314 , they also used their voice in the video. It is very original, they deserve victory =)
Educational Rush Hour
Give me 7
We have liked it a lot, we have also apreciate that they use their own voice on the video, and the thing of the pacman eating their pictures was very funny.
Brainstorming
Well what can we say about us... We had worked a lot in our video and we have tried to show you all the things that we have learnt in this course and each concept in the best way possible. And we hope you all had enjoy it -------> http://youtu.be/NcvMw9_AvOc
T8T
We have really enjoyed their video, the music was great and also they have represent all the activities that we have done in a fun way.
Teach leaders
It is a good video too but we think they should have added more web 2.0 tools that we have use, it would had been nice.
Step by Step
Nice video, a little bit strong music, we would had prefer a relaxing one, but all the concepts are very clear, good job!
The Little Ants
The concepts are clear but the quality of the audio is bad, we would had also prefered it with some music at the background. They have also put too much text, it was not necessary.
C'mon Tutankamon
They did a really good job, they have work a lot on the video, as well as Hide and Seek, this week they deserve the victory, Congratulations!
Other interesting websites!
We found a very interesting blog about education 2.0 where you can do a quiz about our current educational concept and the concept we are studing in this subject, please don't hesitate to click in as you'll find many things in common with what we are learning in here.
Other nice place to have a look is this blog about the use of new tecnologies in education, is fantastic to find people researching and sharing the same way to think about the classroom 2.0
