Task 9: Reflection

Hello everyone,
My name is Ángela and this is my second time being analyst.

This week we have learned four types of leadership, authoritarian style, participative style, transactional style and transformational style. And according to the characteristics of the school we have invented, we have chosen one style.

It has taught us an important thing, that is, to make suitable choices taking into account the context in which we are. It helps us a lot as future teachers because the decisions we will have to take depend on the students' attitude, motivation, behaviour and characteristics. For example, it is a good idea to implement authoritarian style in a class were students do not behave properly and do not care about learning, but, on the other hand it is a horrible idea to put that style in practice in a class where there are brilliant students.

Besides, when we wrote the text that our fantastic star, Sara, presented on Friday during her campaign, we learned how to put in common our ideas and desires to convince others and make them to think in the same way as us by changing their ideas and thoughts, in only ten minutes.

This is useful for the day in which we have to look for job due to we will have to show all our good qualities and describe us and our objectives as the best in a short period of time, in order to get it. So, we ca say that this task has taught us a lot of things for the future, to be prepare for working life.

Finally, another important thing that we have learned during Friday class, is about listening to what others offer us and be coherent when making decisions.
Although the votes we made in class are not relevant, we have the right and obligation as citizens to vote for the president of our city and our country.

Unfortunately, some people, especially young people, don't care about politics. They just vote for the same candidates as their parents without listen to their ideas, objectives or intentions. And that's a shame. So, everyone must put in practice this skill and decide for themselves, always having good arguments.

And that's all we have reflected about this week's task, see you soon!!

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.
