JOURNALIST TASK 1

 My name is Elena Belver Morales and I have performed the role of Journalist this week.

The 23rd of February we had Resources and ICT class and we were asked to create pictures related to six sentences about education, learning and teaching and then upload them to Padlet. We chose these sentences: 

• “Educators are artist, the education is work of art” (Octavio Fullat)

• “Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself” (John Dewey)

• “Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching” (Unknown)

• “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn” (Benjamin Franklin)

• “Learning is the only thing the mind never exhaust, never fears, and never regret” (Leonardo Da Vinci)

• “I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think” (Socrates)

Each one of the members of the group was assigned a different sentence and was in charge of coming up with a picture related to the topic and then, add them to Padlet.

After this, we were required to create an Instagram account for our group and post our pictures. Our Instagram account is fantas.ticgirls and we uploaded the pictures and a profile picture.

We also created a blog (Fantas-TIC Girls) and we published our first post: WEEK 1. The Facilitator updated it writing down the role each of us performs.

The 26th of February, we held a meeting together and we created a QR code for our Padlet and for our Instagram page. We also allowed comments on Padlet, changed the profile picture, and changed the background to a greenish one. Regarding the blog, we changed the background to blue and the Facilitator updated it posting what the Translator, the Facilitator and Analyst have done this week.

Moreover, we all started to perform our roles and, since this was the first time we worked in this kind of format, we faced some difficulties. In general, we were slightly unsure of how to correctly perform our roles. 

For instance, the Translator struggled a bit having to come up with the most possible suitable definition of terms. The Facilitator felt her role —distributing the work— was not much needed as we had already done that. The Curator’s main problem was finding the pages of which we had found the sentences, seeing that when we were required to look for the sentences we did not look in advance and we did not save the pages thinking we would not need them for later.

For me, as the Journalist, I mostly had trouble trying to post a comment on a blog. I tried several times and in different posts but I could not make it. 

Also, it was difficult to keep a record of everyone’s work all the time as they were constantly collecting new information. 

The 28th all of us finished our parts and the Facilitator uploaded what the other members of the group have been doing this week.

I searched for some interesting websites, for example this blog of our classmates, where I left a comment: https://lasdefinitivasrresourcesandictumu.blogspot.com 

Also, I also found this blog to be quite useful for future teachers, but I could not leave a comment: http://rincondeunamaestra.blogspot.com 

I have also created a Genially to present my work of this week in a more visual way: https://view.genial.ly/60397a8d4d21b20d8bc3d4d7/presentation-journalist

STAR TASK 1

 My name is Mª Carmen and this week I have been the star.

This rol is more or less the most important one, because I should present and expose each activity we do in our group to the whole class, but this week I do not have lot to do since I don´t have to expose nothing. 

However, I have to say that I have been very  intrusive in the padlet activity, as well as in the creation of social networks, in the design and organization of the blog and in the organization of our teamwork.

ANALYST TASK 1

I am Maria Camacho Hurtado and this week I have been the analyst.

According to my role, this week I am the analyst so I am charged to do a final reflection of our first task. Taking into account that all these things are new for us, we have been able to do the task overcoming all difficulties due to the fact that we have organized ourselves correctly to carry out the activity.

Although it has been our first task we have learnt new things about new apps. Firstly, we have created a new account on instragram and a new profile in a blog to post our activity that we did with padlet. In padlet, we uploaded photographs related with the three concepts of teaching, education and learning.

Moreover, we have been working in group all the time so we have been able to organize and distribute our work, taking in mind the opinions of our partners. We have been able to understand our partners if they had difficulties and we helped her to overcome them. 

I personally think that it is one of the most important values of working in group. Nevertheless, we have learned new tools to explain and teach new concepts to our students as a teacher and being able to use different ways to teach our students in the near future.

Refering to other roles, firstly my partners have had some difficulties to know exactly what they have had to do but after working hard they were able understand their roles. Once they have had understand everything, they were able to start and elaborate their work.

FACILITATOR TASK 1

 My name is Marina Abadía García and this week I have been the facilitator. 

We distributed the roles after doing the task as we started and finished it during the class so I couldn't distributed the work because we just decided between all (in the class time)that we were in charge of looking for one of the six sentences and create the picture that make reference of it.

Furthermore I haven't have to deal with any conflict since we all fulfill our obligations and if we had any doubt we helped each other.

I have been in charged of updating the blog so my classmates sent me their reflections and I checked that there were no faults and they were well expressed and then I posted them on the blog.

TRANSLATOR TASK 1

My name is Amparo Camacho Sánchez and this week I have been the translator.

The task for this week was to create an image for every phrase related to the terms "learning", "teaching" and "education".

My role this week consists on outline 5 terms that we consider outstanding related to the task of this week. As we have viewed the terms mentioned above, I am going to define them based on our own perception, and also the tools we have used for the activity.

The main 5 terms in this task have been "Padlet", "Instagram", "learning", "teaching" and "education".

• PADLET: 

For this activity we have used Padlet, which is an interactive collaboration whiteboard. It is very useful since everyone can put any multimedia resources that everyone is watching at the same time. We used it to put the images with every phrase related to it and then present them. 

          https://padlet.com/fantasticgirls2021/jl3mb1qy7gzyn8v1

• INSTAGRAM:

We have created an account on Instagram to post everything we will be doing during the course. Instagram is a platform where people post photos and videos. Everyone can see them, commenting on or giving likes. We use the hashtag  RICT2021# to post the photos and see the other publications.

           https://www.instagram.com/fantas.ticgirls/

• LEARNING

This is one of the concepts that we have viewed in this task. It is a difficult concept to define since it has different meanings for each person. We see it as the process of achieving something new that can be applied for something. It can be knowledge, skills or anything, it is a lifelong process that never stops. The two phrases we have used for this concept were:

- Learning is the only thing the mind never exhaust, never fears, and never regret (Leonardo Da Vinci)

- Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.

• TEACHING

It is another concept we have viewed in this task. It is the process in which people transfer his or her knowledge, values, skills to another person. There are many ways of teaching depending on the values of each person. The two phrases we have used for this concept are:

- I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think (Sócrates) 

- Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remenber. Involve me and I learn ( Benjamin Franklin)

•  EDUCATION

The last main concept is education. We can say that learning and teaching take part in the process of education. It is beyond just academic knowledge, it starts when we are born and ends when we die. We are constanly learning, that is, we are always being educated. 

We are being educated by our parents, by our teachers, by our friends and by the society in general. The two phrases we have used for this concept are:

- Educators are artist, the education is work of art (Octavi Fullst)

- Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself (John Dewey)

These terms are very connected with each other, none of them take part without one. They have many definitions for everyone, we tried to build these definitions based on our own perception, having in mind that we still have so much to learn about them.
