Las Definitivas

 Hey guys! This is Lucía Pujante from Las Definitivas. This week, I was the star, so I had to present Task 9. The task was called : Holistic Teacher Competence for a Digital World. This has to do with all the competences and qualities that an educator needs for being qualified enough to teach in this century. These qualities can be summarized into six competences. Our mission this week was to read and understand every competence in order to reflect them in an infographic that would be shared and explained for the rest of the class.  Today was the presentation day and I had to speak in the online class representing my group. An interesting fact about our infographic is that not only does it include the six competences, but also there is an atome (yes like in science), in order to represent how all of them are interrelated, as competences are not isolated but coordinated.  I am quite happy with the result and our teacher liked it, as well.  This was the last task, so I...

Hello fellow mates! I'm Cristina and this week I've been the Star of my group. This week's task was to create a PLE ( Personal Learning Environment) with the ICT tools proposed by the teacher: Youtube, Twitter and the online announcement board Wakelet.   Having all this in mind we studied carefully what a PLE was and when I had it clear I moved on to putting the info together. There was a lot of hard work to produce my script for yesterday's online lesson as well as the diagram. It wasn't easy to integrate all the information according to the 3 main points of the PLE ( our approach to the task): accessing information, modifying and reflecting on the information and sharing and constructing with others and how to relate it with the tools.  Furthermore, we had to search online a lot of information on the functioning of the tools, count creation, experiences from other teachers, tutorials... to put it together.  However, it was really satisfying having the work finishe...

Hi there! This is Elena and this time I'm the Star, but this week instead of presenting our task, we had to create a podcast. Therefore, I was in charge of sending it and making sure it was all clear. Moreover, for this task we have chosen three activities in which they all follow different requirements. So, you will be able to read the chosen activities below. We hope you like it! You can find our podcast here:  Las Definitivas Podcast Task 7: Exploring Tasks with Digitals Computational Thinking and Coding ACTIVITY: DANCE PARTY   • What level would be appropriate for this? This activity would be appropriate for several levels. It would be suitable from grades 2-5; grades 6-8 and grades +9. So it is aimed at children from 7 to more than 14 years old. The difficulty of the choreography can be adapted to each child depending on his/her developmental stage. • What is(are) the objective(s) of this task following the Bloom Taxonomy? Following the Bloom Taxonomy, we can observe th...

Hello everybody! How are you going? We are Nahomi and Marta and this week we are performing the role of the star. As you all know we have been in charge of doing the presentation, a Pecha Kucha. It has been a little bit difficult since we have to summarize the information of each slide in 20 seconds. However, after practicing it so many times we finally achieve it. The first 10 slides were presented by Marta, and Nahomi presented the last 10 ones. Soon you will find our presentation in our Virtual Class, in the meanwhile here you can find our presentation project: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QXet_idxfATDib0yNj24C2p5gp57inMG-DdplugM2zY/edit#slide=id.gcdec53d2a8_0_393

Hello there! Nieves again. This time the task we had to do was about evaluating a tool of our choice. I chose Scratch, which is an online tool that that teaches the basics of programming in a fun a visual way. Now, here is the rubric we used to evaluate: After reviewing the tool with the rubric, I went to https://privacy.commonsense.org , a page where I can see the reviews of other people about the tool and where they give a rating to it’s privacy. Here is what I found: These are the scores of each individual part: Data collection: 50% Data sharing: 88% Data security: 50% Data rights: 88% Data sold: 25% Data safety: 50% ADS & Tracking: 8% Parental consent: 33% School purpose: 0% If you want to see the evaluation with more details, please go here https://privacy.commonsense.org/evaluation/Scratch

Hello everyone!! This is Elena and this week we all are stars! Here I will show you the task we had to do for this week. This time, we were in charge of analyzing an educational tool by using a rubric( https://teaching.uwo.ca/pdf/elearning/Rubric-foreLearning-Tool-Evaluation.pdf ). In my case, I have decided to examine “Edmodo”, a platform in which teachers can post from homework to any kind of activities, and students send them via Edmodo. Therefore, teachers are allowed to send the correction back to the pupils. Apart from that, in contains more options, so I will proceed to analyze the possibilities it offers using the rubric below: Category Criteria Works Well Minor Concerns Serious Concerns Not applicable Functionality Scale The tool can be scaled to accommodate any size class with the flexibility to create smaller sub-groups or communities of practice The tool can scaled to accommodate any size class but lacks flexibility to create smaller sub-groups or communities of practice T...
