Time to translate

Hey there! As the translator this week, I am in charge of selecting the five concepts I consider to be more important from this task.

To do so, I have made a video where I explain what the concepts refer to.

The main ideas I have chosen are programming and coding because they are part of the digital competence we develop in this subject, both involved in the computational thinking. All these are related to the first part of the task where we tried tools and activities for children to code. From the second part of the task, I have chosen the radio since we had to do a radio program telling about our experience carrying out this seventh activity.

On the other hand, I am going to tell you about the weaknesses of our task, which I consider to be finding a tool to record the radio program that worked properly as we wanted to stay all live to do it as realistic as posible. That part was a bit hard since all the tools we knew only allowed one or two people to be interacting at the same time. Furthermore, we have also find it difficult to integrate all the technical educational content in the interview in a way that sounded it as natural as possible.

In addition, the methodology has been I consider as the best implemention setting the learning-by-doing approach. It is not something you hear about theorically and then you do an exam, it is something you have to manipulate. You have to test it by trial and error, improving little by little and experimenting it in first person.

See you next week!

Curator Post

Hey! This is Juan, this week's curator. For my weekly post I have gathered and created the APA style references of the different resources used along the week. You will find them in the following mind map I have done. On it, you will also see a slight view at the process of the activity. Click here to see the mind map in its original website

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...

Facilitating the week

First of all, this week has been very calm, meaning that there was not even a single problem related to any kind of conflict, in fact, each task and role was distributed randomly so that it was more fair for everyone. Every member of the group was assigned with a role; however, there is an exception in our group, because we are 7 people, meaning that 1 role must be repeated, the role that is distributed twice is the role of Star, we select that specific role because taking into account the exception, this role is perfect because it can be shared and even more detailed if we have two speakers instead of only one. Secondly, talking about our online spaces, you can find information about our projects on this blog, furthermore, we also have created an Instagram account, where you can find picture about us and more information about the tasks, here is the user: @gogetters21. To conclude I must say that this week everyone has worked on the project, meaning that there were barely any ...
