STARring Juan and Santi

 Hi there!

This is the stars' post for this week, that corresponds to "Task 6: Key competences with Taccle". As usual with Taccle tasks (remember we already used  these books on Task 4), there are 2 stars needed for presenting the Pechakucha for the class in the online meeting. In this case, Juan and Santiago are the fortunate in charge of such duty.

In this post we will narrate how was the process of preparing and presenting the Pechakucha, and how we organized ourselves, as well as the final product (If you are interested in the whole process, check our journalist's post).

Then, the general script and the presentation itself were made collaboratively by all the member of the group, sharing ideas and trying to time each slide for not surpassing 20 seconds. It didn't take us many time as we had already answered the proposed questions the day before, and we only needed to include the results of our activity. After that, the slides were distributed for their design on Genia.ly and we, the stars, started organizing and preparing the presentation.

So, we had a brief meeting in which we agreed to do 2 slides each, alternating until the end, because we though that is was quite fair. Even though we kinda drafted the scrip before, some of the slides were too long for just 20 seconds, so improvements were precised. Finally, the awaited day arrived, and after our classmates ended, it was out turn. The first two slides corresponding to Santi passed as normal as we rehearsed and just when I was about to speak, our teacher stopped us due to a misunderstanding, and the show kicked off again. The clapping ceased and out worries vanished, that was all. For the rest of the lesson we all were told the corrections and good things, followed by a group reflection of the task experience.

Translating the Task

Good morning to all and welcome to the home stretch! I am Santiago García-Purriños and I will be the translator this week. I will select the five concepts that I consider most important during the development of this task number nine. The first concept that I consider important is the meaning of frameworks, it is a kind of library, a piece of software that provides web developers with a code base and consistent, standardised ways to create web applications. Throughout this task, pedagogical knowledge has also played an important role. Pedagogical knowledge consists of adapting the specialised knowledge of teachers for creating effective teaching. Technological pedagogical content knowledge is a framework for understanding and describing the types of knowledge a teacher needs for effective pedagogical practice in a technology-enhanced learning environment. Education is a field where digital content has become increasingly popular as well as necessary. Professionals in this field are rea...

Star(ing) to the finish line

Hii! It is Gema and Elena, the stars of the last week ☹️ First and foremost, if you would like to check our infography, please click here! Throughout this week, the whole group has pitched in to create an infography about the main competences for the Digital World.  To be honest, the presentation didn't go as bad as we initially thought it was going to be, in fact, we managed to explain all the items and our classmates actually understood it very well, which actually pleased us a lot. Actually, it is nice to leave with a nice memory of this week as we have put plenty of effort to our weekly tasks (not just this one). Just in case you are not familiar with this model we let you here a very brief explanation and reflection about what is it and its importance for teachers. Almost all frameworks emphasize the use of technology, restricted to teaching in the conventional classroom, and the ethical and social aspects only from the legal use of technology or security. After reading the do...
