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 realising how students of any age, even people being trained in corporate materials, can now store all their content on e-readers and tablets. In the past, the use of pen and paper was unavoidable, as was the need to buy a book for each subject, but that has changed. Nowadays you can have a PDF of the whole book without having to pay for it and instead of a notebook, you can have a Google Drive document. This advance considered as an evolution in education means an increase in the comfort of the student as well as being more economical.

The fourth term that, as a translator, I considered necessary to know is one that we have already seen very well, given its importance, nothing more and nothing less than TPACK. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge is the core of the teacher's digital competence as a content expert, for example, the ability to see how, through the creation of plans with online tools, it is possible to articulate teaching strategies that allow students to understand geometric relations. It is, in short, a body of knowledge that spans multiple disciplines and must be applied in concrete situations in order to teach effectively with technologies.The teacher must know how to manage his or her knowledge in such a way that this interaction leads to a real improvement in the quality of teaching, integrating the three areas described above.

The ICT tools means to digital infrastructures like computers, laptops, printers, scanners, software programs, data projectors, and interactive teaching box. ICT toolshave increased and diversified the possibilities of communication, schools and teachers are in many cases contributing not only to improving communication and collaboration, but also reducing the digital gap by providing access to school ICT resources or training and awareness-raising opportunities, especially in the most underprivileged areas.

This has been my role as translator during Task 9, I hope you enjoyed it and thank you very much for your attention. I hope to see you soon, best regards

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...

Task 9 FACILITATOR

Hello! I am Antonio Aznar and on this task 9 I have the role of facilitator, let us commence forth. Regarding the conflict situations this week, there was not a single one, which means that everyone behaved properly and worked hard on the assignment. Regarding the fulfilment of obligations, On this week everyone completed their assigments, furthermore, we worked hard to create the most tedious part which is the infographic, in which each one of us read a different part of the text called Holistic Teaching Competence for a Digital World, I need to say that each on of us make their own resume. In the last part, I will also revise that each one of the roles of this week are well written and well distributed in the blog, that means that I will check each post of the blog in order to check if it is right. -Antonio
