TASK 8: Reflection


Hello everybody! I am Andrea and this week I have to make a reflection about a task called Stop-motionING basics for a New Educational Law. As we already know, it has a crucial role in our profession as teachers, so... pay attention!

To begin with, our objective was to elaborate a stop-motion in which the main concepts of the Decalogue developed by the platform #porotrapoliticaeducativa were represented. Therefore, we thought of a creative way to illustrate them: the jelly beans. On Wednesday, after presenting our project in class, we participated in the “Eurovision contest” celebrated there, but, unfortunately, we did not get a really good position.

This fact was a bit disappointing for us, since we believed that our work had not been valued enough. But, it was only a game! After all, we consider we have made a good job using our creativity and imagination. However, as a group, we need to improve some aspects, such as the elaboration of different posts and the organization of the blog, as we discussed with our teacher a few weeks ago.

Regarding the content of our stop-motion, it shows different ideas of how education should be in today’s society, and therefore, the initiatives we ought to take. Our future depends on them, and as we saw in the subject of Tutorial Action, we need to teach individuals to think critically and creatively, rather than to memorize and reproduce. Only then, we, as a society, will be in position to improve our situation and fight against injustices.

Thanks for reading,

Lovely Teachers.

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.
