Star post

Hello I'm the star of this week, Julia Egea.

This week we have done some conceptual maps abot the educational laws.

These are our Cmaps:

 

Then on monday we wer divided. I was with It'school and half of Platypus. And my group was with the star of It'school and the other half of Platypus.

Linda told us to evaluate the works that we have done. We did it question by question, answering it and marking each work. We did it very well and finished early

After a little break, we had to mix the works. 

This is the one I made with It'school:

And this is the one that my group made:

I hope you enjoy our blog!

LET'S GO TO ANALYSE

Hello everybody!
My name is Carmen Carpena and this week I am the... ANALYST!!
I have realized that this role is too complicated because I have to analyse all the members of the group every day, their work, their attitude... everything, and it is very difficult.

As you know, this week we have had to do a mindmap, I mean, a diagram with the information summarize, in this case is about the spanish educational laws: the LOE and the LOMCE.
I have realized that there is the last week before Easter holidays and it seems like yesterday when we were in the first class of SOyER and we were really scared because we did not know what we were going to do. At first, we found it very difficult but the weeks passed and we were more confident with ourselves and the scare started to decrease little by little... In fact, I think this subject not only teaches us in the way of the information, it teaches us also to have more confidence in ourselves and to work in group and have a good organization.

In this activity we have learnt the contents of these educational laws and what are the differences between them. Also, we have learnt how to do a good mindmap and how to summarize well the information. In addition, I think we have learnt how to have a good organization in the group because we have divide the work in a very good way.
The worst moment in the week was when we realized that we had done the work bad and, after all the labour we had done, we had to change it and restructure all the contents we had in the mindmap. It was a very bad new for all of us.

I think the contents we have had to do in this activity are very related with our degree because we are going to be teachers and all good teacher have to know the educational laws because we are going to be subjected by this laws and it is important that we start to know them.

Moving on, in my opinion we have to improve somethings as a group. We have to trust us more, I mean, I think we should be able to talk sincerely with someone. If any member of the group has a problem with other member or if someone has done anything that have had feel bad other member, we have to be able to talk with him/her and explain what is the problem.

I am very sure that in the next week we will solve these problems!

I hope you enjoy the blog, see you next week!!

WHO SAID HELPER?

Hello again everybody!

This week I am the helper, there is only one role left to complete all the roles we have. Being the helper does not mean that I do not have to do anything important, by contrast I have to do all the things I do every week (Come up with ideas, implication…) and moreover, I have to help the other roles. For example, today my mate Maria could not come to class because she has had a problem. So, when Linda has said that she wanted to talk with all the facilitators because we had misunderstood the activity, I did the role as facilitator in that moment because Maria needs my help. This is the main function of this role.

The activity of this week has been to explore the basic legislation about our educational system. In order to learn it as better as possible we are preparing a game that is a mix of the Oca´s game with Trivial and we have to make questions about the topic.

This activity, as a game, has a prize so we are going to try the best as we can.

This week, we have done two conceptual maps about the topics Linda chose for us. On Monday, we compared all the conceptual maps about the same topic as ours that had been done by our colleagues of Platypus and It´school and we did a big one putting the best part of each one together. The next weeks, we are going to make questions and in the final week we are going to do the game.

In my opinion with this activity we are going to learn a lot about our educational system but the most important is that we do it in a funny and enjoyable way.

See you next week as my last role: Translator!

Journalist Post by Lucía Grau.

Hello friends, Lucia is here again, but this week my role is Journalist.

First of all, I'll tell you a little what we have done this week.
The task of this week was about our education system, know well our laws and fundamentals is very important to be good teachers.

We had to make two mind map about two points of the six that were available. Linda's divided so that we had to do point 3. Organization of Primary Education and 6. Administration and Governance at Local and / or Institutional Level (II).

 

We divided into two groups to do the job, we readed all the information and summarize it, and then we organized the work of carrying out the mind map into two groups , the first did the point 3 and the second point 4. As we are seven in our group, we divided into working groups of three, and the star was involved in both groups. The organization of the groups was made taking into account the days that could meet because some of us Thursday we went to our people.

 

We got together Tuesday to point three...

 

... And Wednesday for the sixth point.

 

 

On Monday when we arrived to class, Linda commanded us a new task. We had to come together with other groups. Our group received visitors of Platypus group and star of ItSChool group. Julia, our star worked with the group of ItSChool. We had to evaluate the mindmap we had done. Then we had to choose the one we liked and add or remove items considered necessary to make it great.

The experience of this week to work with other groups has been good because we were able to assess our own mistakes, comparing them with other work of our colleagues. But also it has also been difficult to agree with the assessment.

Here you have some photos of the class of Monday:

 

I hope you liked it and you've found interesting.

 

Thanks for your attention. See you soon bloggers.

Lucía.

Not a typical farmer

Hello bloggers here is Ana Góngora informing,

This is our 6^th week of work and we are so proud about what we have been doing these weeks. This task consisted on reading a lot, but not in different articles, we were focused on the law and its changes. This is the reason why I have chosen Text 2 Mind Map because we can observe better the different documents on which we have found information.

Now I have been in almost every role I can say that this one had a bit of difficulty about references in APA and also about choosing if I should use Pearl Trees or Text 2 Mind Map (both of them have been used before). Apart from that I have been helped by my colleagues in every problem I had.

I hope continues steps of this week would be great!!!

Hope you like it!!

Facilitate everything as my role requires

Hi everybody!!!

I am María and this week my role is "facilitator".

Well, I like this role a lot as I am used to do it. When we have to organize the group for any work not only in this subject, I do not mind to organize and make clear the points of the work, and facilitate the part of the work to each member of the group. And if there are problems or doubts I do not mind solve them if I can.

So,  the work of the facilitator is to be the boss of the group, is in charge of divide, coordinate and organize the work of every member in the group. Also you have to encourage the dynamic of the group and be the key person in the solution of personal affairs between members. In addition, the facilitator is in charge of the conserve and guarantee the blog's quality, as well as answer the comments, correct the spelling and so on.

Last week, after the explanation of the activity by Linda, our teacher, we talk all together and we realize that the week was a bit difficult to meet the day that we usually met for this subject as it was festive and the members from other places wanted to go there to stay with their family what is totally comprehensible, so the solution was to meet in two days, those who are not from Murcia, on Tuesday and the rest of us, the next day as usually. Unless the star that went to both meetings.

The task was divided in two, one point for each subgroup, and then inside each subgroup, divided the point in different parts.

It was a difficult task, for me specially due to my part was very difficult to find out; and it took me at least three days reading the laws, "LOE and LOMCE" and the "BOE".

Finally, today morning was a disaster due to I was going to catch the bus, to get into class at time, and when I  was at the bus station, I have realized that I had lost my target... So I have had to came back to look for it, my goodness!

It was on the middle of my street, 15 minutes from the station..., so I have returned to catch the bus and I have lost it, only for three minutes :,(. Then I caught it at 9.00 and at 9.30 I was at the university, but I am not able to go in after twenty minutes so I decided not to go in due to Linda does not like.

So, I was there since 9.30 doing nothing, my god, there are days which is better not to weak  up. And when Linda called the facilitators due to a misunderstanding, one of my colleges went in my place, Inma. Thanks a lot to her and to all my colleges.

Thanks you too for reading me; I hope you like this :)

The roles this week are...

Ana Góngora: Curator farmer
Inma: Helper
Mari Carmen: Translator
María: Facilitator
Julia: Star
Carmen: Analist
Lucía: Journalist

See you soon!! 

Translator post

Hi! I'm Mari Carmen and this 6th week I have been the ..... TRANSLATOR.

I've tried to do my best choosing the most meaningful words we have learnt this week. There were lots of new terminology, but I think this five are the most important ones:

-Educative System: concept that refers to the overall structure through which education is organized in a country.

Gobierno de España (). Sistema educativo.  Available at: http://www.mecd.gob.es/educacion-mecd/areas-educacion/sistema-educativo.html

- Organic laws: are mainly characterized for being necessary from a constitutional point in order to regulate some current life aspects. They are in charge of organization. These sorts of laws just take place in some countries. Due to the importance of the issues they deal with usually special requirements are established, such as a great majority of legislator voting positively for approves it.

-LOE: Is the Organic Law of Education (Ley Orgánica de Educación) of Spanish Educative System from 2006 until 2013. With the entry in effect of this law the previous one, LOGSE, was repealed. Among its characteristics highlight the division of Bachelor into five branches, instead of three as in previous laws, and the separation of Primary Education into cycles of two years each.

Facilitator post

Hello everyone! I am Julia and this week I have been the facilitator. This role is so much difficult that what it seems. To be the facilitator means that you have to organize the group, divide the work, and also choose the days that you are going to meet to do the work.

I am not an organized person so it was very difficult to me and I had to do my best to organize the others in order to do a good job. Even though the work could have been done in one day, we had to meet two days, but thanks to that the work was better than if we had done it in just one day.

This week’s roles are:

• Inmaculada Álvarez Donaire: Journalist

• Carmen Carpena Soriano: Translator

• Julia Egea Leal: Facilitator

• María García Alcaraz: Star

• Ana Caridad Góngora Rodríguez: Analyst

• Lucía Grau Martínez: Curator-Farmer

• MariCarmen Molina-Niñirola Ballester: Helper

In my opinion this week everyone has done their role very good, and they have done what they had to.

Sincerely, the facilitator.  

CARMEN AS A CURATOR-FARMER

Hello everybody!
My name is Carmen, I am a member of the PowerPuffTeachers' group and this week my role is the curator-farmer.
This week we had to do a funny video explaining all the things we have learnt in this subject until now (TPACK, Treasure Hunt, Maps Proyections, all the resources we have used...).
It has been a great experience because this activity has been more entertaining than the others and we have learnt how to do this type of videos.
Also, in class it has been very funny because we have voted the videos of our classmates in the Eurovision format, with translators too.
In relation to my role, it has not been very difficult because in this activity we had not a lot of references but in contrast to this, I have helped to do the video, expose ideas... but all of us have helped each others when we needed.
Here are the references of this week. There are not so many because all the others references we have used to do the video, have already exposed in previous post written by my classmates.

Helper post

Hi bloggers!

I am Mari Carmen Molina and for this time I have been the helper of my group. This role was the idea of one of my colleagues who thought that every week one of us could be the person who help the other roles so that is why we create helper.

This week we have gone over the first part of this subject doing a video with Moovly about what we had learn until now. Moreover, monday at class we did the competition in a different way, using the Eurovision format.

Now that we have already passed throught the fisrt part of the cuatrimestre and the end of academic year is closer, some events made me stop and think. I've realized how things really are. You can come across really hard situations. This subject is not just a project, it is a first approach to adults' world. The world where we belong to now.

I've been reflecting about the degree I'm taking, about how I am and what I aspire to. And I feel that I won't be a good teacher unless  I learn how to discuss my point and my future students' needs in from of their parents, teachers and classmates.


We must make our best in every single thing we do in our lifes, no matter whether it is at home, walking on the street or at university.

GO AHEAD!
