Task 7.2: Star


Hi! I'm Andrea and, as the star of the week, I had to direct a set of sketchs we had to create about the different types of connections in the learning process. This is why I am going to present the five videos we have made so that you can take advantage of them whenever you want:

PART 1: TEACHER-STUDENT CONNECTION

As we know, teachers have a great impact on students’ learning because they are in charge of creating an appropriate environment for learning.
To explain such relation, our first play tells the story of a girl who was being disrupted by her classmates. This was because she did not have the toy on fashion other children had in common. At first, she tried to hide her feelings. However, one day, she told her teacher and she tried her best to help the girl.


PART 2: CONNECTIONS WITH PEERS

In this sketch we can see how belonging to certain groups such as ‘’nerds’’, ‘’rebels’’ or ‘’sporty’’ affect students’ academic achievement. Students within the labelled groups have an image which can influence the students’ attitude toward learning and the expectations their peers and teachers have of them.
Besides, researches have noticed benefits for learning, achievement and classroom environment when collaborative learning occurs within the classroom setting.
That’s why in our play, two students who belong to two different groups ‘’nerds’’ and ‘’sporty’’ are expected to obtain different marks. But, when one of them help the other, in a collaborative learning way, the expectations change and the teacher gets surprised.


PART 3: CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE LEARNING CONTEXT

In this short dialogue, we will talk about how a good learning context can affect students and their academic development. As we all know, learning is influenced by the context. This is why a good relation between teachers and students is essential for learning.


PART 4: CONNECTIONS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

This sketch reflects an online learning environment in which several students have the opportunity to ask their teacher different questions regarding the final exam. Moreover, he will also give them some study techniques. To carry this out, both teacher and students will make a video conference in ooVoo.
We have chosen this strategy, the videoconference, since it represents an alternative way of learning outside the classroom.


PART 5: CONNECTIONS WITHIN LEARNING

Connections within learning occurs on three levels: the individual learner, the group and the development of knowledge itself. To represent some of them, we have created a sketch in which a teacher tell her students to carry out an activity. The objective is to connect their prior to new knowledge. Moreover, her intention is putting into practice the process of scaffolding in which she will guide students’ process of active learning.

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.
