Task 5: History

Hii!! I am Ángela, the journalist of this week. So, let's start...

As all the previous weeks, on Monday Linda explained us what we had to do in this new task called ''The dark side of textbooks''. First of all, we had to read some documents to obtain different information. Some examples of these documents are:



The task's objective was to do a campaign against the use of textbooks as basic resources in classrooms. For doing that, we had to decide which format we were going to use. There were three options:

  • An info-graphic is the display of information in such a way that it can be easily understood at a glance.

  • A Twitter timeline is a list of tweets or messages from people you follow or people in a Twitter list.

  • A fable is a short tale to teach a moral lesson, often with animals or inanimate objects as characters.
We chose the info-graphic due to it is visual and clear. It is a good way for people to understand what we want to transmit quickly.
Here you have our info-graphic:
On Wednesday, our star Elena presented it. 
We are very proud of her and the rest of our classmates, such as:
Group: Empty 21

Group: Teach perfect.
Finally, our teacher Linda gave us some feedback. She told us that we had done a good job, but it would have been better if the information labels had been included in the big cardboard. I hope she really liked it.

Thank you for reading!

Task 2: T-Pack

First of all we will mention the type of map we have chosen. We thought a mind map was the best option, since it is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain. It can be applied to every aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance human performance. Our palette represents a  Buzan mind map  in which we have used a central image to connect the different ideas to the central one throughout curved branches and adding colours to be more creative.  We have chosen this type as it is a good way to catch the attention of our classmates and clearly explain what ‘’TPACK’’ is, in an interactive way. We also have been asked for defining what exactly  TPACK  is (a technology, a theory, a model, an animal, a poetry, an author, or even all of these...). We have answered that the TPACK framework is described as a complex interaction among three bodies of knowledge: content, pedagogy and technology. This interac

Task 9: Star

Hey, how is it going?  This week it's my turn to be the star. Currently I'm pretty nervous because of tomorrow's presentation; I don't know how it would turn out, but I just hope to be a really good leader! ;) For this task, I have taken the role of a new possible director that wants to enter in a school; my mission in this institution is to organize it all, because it's a mess: teachers, as well as students,  are used to do whatever they want, and when I say whatever I mean  whatever. I f they don't want to do something, they just don't do it. They don’t even follow any kind of rule!! This is something unacceptable. As a director, I must introduce new methods so that rules are followed. I just hope that people choose me as the perfect person to guide everyone in this school and to get the best of it. See you soon, Sara, from Lovely Teachers.

Task 4: Stars

Imagen
Hello! This week the division of roles is the following: - Ana is the facilitator. - Natalia is a worker. - Ángela is the curator-farmer. - Andrea is the journalist. - Bea and Sara are the stars. - Irene is the translator. - Elena is the analyst.  Our names are Bea and Sara and this week we are the stars of task 4:  TREASURE HUNT: CARTOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS ! This is the first time we have this role and that is why we are kind of nervous. However, the fact that there are two stars relax us a great deal. We will do our best and try that you learn a lot with us on Wednesday's presentation. We will talk about distorting media students are in touch with and we will focus on maps and textbooks. Later, we will do a treasure hunt related to a topic that we believe is not given as much importance as necessary. That is all we can say for the moment... See you on Wednesday! Lovely Teachers.
