CURATOR - FARMER POST

Hi there!

I'm Mari Carmen.I'm here once again, but this time as my first role: Curator - farmer

This week was kind of special because we employed time on studying instead of meeting on evenings to make a project to show on monday to our class. Well, somehow it might be similar, on monday we must display the knowledge we have been working on (about lomce's game) during this two last weeks.

Since we keep working on the new law of Education our main reference source has been the LOMCE. Looking for the complete version you can come accross with quite interesting recompositiongs. It was really useful and clear ANPE's picked up pieces text, because the new parts are in red and those part previously setted are in blue.

See you next week :)

SHINE BRIGHT AGAIN LIKE A STAR

 

Hello everybody! I am the star again this week because is our´s turn to repeat the same roles as we did before. Well, we have to try to do them better and to improve our mistakes.

Comparing the twice I have been star, they have been really different so I have experimented two different experiences. The first one was a bit stressful because it was the first time we faced this new subject and I had to do a long speech doing it for nine times so it was really exhausting. However, this week has been more relaxing to me because I have been the trainer of the next stars which means that I have to prepare them the best I can in order to do their best in the play which will take place the next week.

For training them, we have written all the mind maps by hand because all the questions are based on them underlining the most important aspects in order to be clear about them. Moreover, we write the questions that are not clear enough or they have a very specific situation apart in order to comment them and to try to understand them in another way.

We are proud of our stars and the effort they are making for the game! We hope we have good luck for next Monday! See you next week!

Analyst!

Hi bloggers! I am María and my role this week is Analyst, as the first week of this subject.

The previous one was more difficult for me personally speaking, due to it was the first time I evaluate others and even more, myself.

Indeed, the work of this week is quite different from the previous weeks due to we are all, preparing questions, answers, and everything to be able next Monday to play the game. In which two of us will play against the other groups, and the winner, will get extra points.

On Thursday our group plus the half of  Itschool, decided which 10 questions of all about topic 6 were the better to play with in the play.

This week every member of the Power Puff Teachers, was active,  taking part on selection of the better questions for the play.  Even I have to say that I am very proud of  us due to we are the winners of the last contest!!! (*.*).

I have to say that is so weird, not having work from SOYER; I mean, not having to meet the whole group to work in a concrete task at home, but as it is said, everybody can get used to good life, and the good things finish soon.

So, have as minimum the same happy week as us and see you soon :)

"Facilitator" post

Hey guys, Lucia is here again as facilitator. This week has been a little weird since it's been a week of preparation for the big competition. Our Star Inma will be our coach of two stars. The choice of the stars who represent us in the contest was a raffle, since all confident and know that all those who were chosen will do everything to win. Finally our stars are Ana and María. The task of the other components of our group has been to help as much as possible to our stars, making it easier their work, since the task they have to study is quite complex. Monday and Thursday our teacher allowed us time to prepare our stars.
Overall our week is summarized in the foregoing.

As always, thank you very much for your attention.
And wish us luck for the contest on Monday, all with POWERPUFFTEACHERS !!
See you soon.
Lucia

..AND THE WINNERS ARE.... POWERPUFFTEACHERS !!!

We are the winners of the best video about "What have we learnt until now?" in # SOYER1415. Thanks to the votes of our colleagues, Linda and other teachers. We will enjoy our aperitivo at the canteen on Thursday.

Helper post

Hello, my name is Julia and this week I am the helper.

This is the last role that I had left. That means that I have already be al the roles of the subject. The aim of this role, as its name says, is to help the others to do the work if they need to.

In this case, once we had all the questions, we had to join them and made the cards, print them, and glue them to the cardboard. But it is so much work to do it only by one person, so we divided it.

I made all the cards, printed them and cut them the shape we have been asked. Inma cut the cardboard. And Maria and Maricarmen glued them all.

It might look like I had worked more than them, but it was very equal, because the questions were already written on the computer, so I only had to copy then in a table. And also I have a guillotine, so it made the cutting work very easy.

I have enjoy this role, because is not one of the biggest ones, and I prefer helping than directing.

I wish you like our cards.

I will write again next week.

Analist post

Hi everyone!

I'm Mari Carmen again!! For seventh week I was analist.

This is our second week working on the legislation of the spainsh education in order to prepare a version of a classic game about this issue.

We divided the 24 questions among seven, and one person did one more question for four topics  so that all of us could did the same amount of questions. Then holidays came. This periods are quite a dissaster for organizing gatherings because each one has her own plans due to vacations.

Days went by. We met on our first sky gathering as working group, but we did two groups because of schedules. It was my first time using it and I really liked the convenience and rapidity on this tool, I just love it! In just one second we were connected with our mates.  We put in common our four questions since when a work is revised by several people there's more possibility to correct something, make more accurate and clear questions,.... than when there's just one head. Then Murcia city's hometown group members take the charge of do the phisical cards for the game: one gathered group questions and shape the cardboard, other printed the questions in the specific measures, and other two cut and stick questions on cardboards -we divided cardboards and question papers in two, and I stick second pack part-.

Then for class returning we had whole class monday session. We had to evaluate, according to a same criteria one topic's cards. As my group was "native" last week we had to split in two, some worked with Itschool on topic 6 while the other half were with Platypus assessing topic 3. I feel like it turn out quite difficult to follow the same criteria for all the group's cards, despite it keep always our intention, but it is just my sensation. It is always hard to arrive to a complete agreement in everything. But somehow this make us learn much more than what we could ever learn on a theorical way with a explation. It much more meaningful if you live it (every week).

Apart from  class mates working -that you couldn't believe how much have make me grow up- the idea of laying out something as bored and tiresome as a new educative legislation -that will surely change by the time we were teachers, but that will be the same in essence-  as a familiar game to us. This make us read the law to reach another objective -win the game- and by the way read, reread and start knowing it in an enjoyable way.

Hope you come around next week!!

Mari Carmen

STAR POST

Hey guys, Lucia is here again. I know you've missed me, after the holidays we have returned to work, this time I've been the star of our group.

The task was to make the various topics that it was divided the LOE and LOMCE law and changes between them, once we had made the mindmap different groups each of them, we had to make four questions of each of the six subjects.

Monday in class our teacher divided the three hours on two tasks, the first, was to get together with other groups, dividing our on two, so that half of us work with Platypush I group and ItSchool group. We had to evaluate questions of all our colleagues from the topics 3 and 6.

We have to put notes from 1 to 10, responding to a number of criteria (clarity, content ...). Working alongside other group is very advantageous because you have the views of people outside your group, you can also learn things without them there could learn, such as having to put you according to the assessment and having to make a decision common.

The second task, we also split and we joinedwith other groups (PowerTeachers and) to move to a list of questions organizing them depending on what you ask. Which is responsible for publishing this list is the resident star of each group.

The experience of working with other groups, as in the previous task, itis also positive, as it is easier to divide up the work when more people and learn from everyone.

Overall, my job as a star has been easier than it has sometimes been to my friends.

I hope you liked it, and once again, thank you for your attention.

Lucia
