ANALYST WEEK 8

 

Hello again Fantas-TIC girls!! I am María Camacho and this week I have performed the role of the Analyst which consists of evaluating the work of the team member during this week.

The task of this week was about creating some permanent channels of online communication for us and our students and then generates the PLE that we will need to learn about developing each of these new channels in your school correctly. For our group, the best part of the activity was to search for apps that will increase the knowledge of our students by including them in our PLE due to the fact that we will use it every day to teach to our students.

Furthermore, the worst part of this task was to decide what we were going to include in our channels: YouTube channel, Twitter account and an online announcement board (Classroom). We decided that it was the most challenging part because we, as teachers, wanted that our students to benefit from the new materials we were going to include new in their PLE.

Talking about the best moment of the week was that we finished this task in two meetings what it makes us think that, compared to a few weeks ago, we have improved a lot as people and as colleagues. Moreover, no personal problems arise between us and we respect all opinions, getting different points of view and learning from them. However, the most problematic thing is that it is difficult to meet the entire group because we are six to choose when we will meet.

Doing this activity, we have learnt that in our online environment we can learn several things, even in apps that we use to have fun like Tik Tok. Our mothers always say that spending time with our mobile phone is not beneficial but what they don't know is that we can include these types of apps in our PLE due to the fact that nowadays we can learn new things but always safely and responsibly.

I personally think that our group works amazingly because at this stage of the course we know each other well and we do not have any problem of being wrong or having no idea at all. We all support each other and boost each other's spirits. However, what we have to control is our desire to talk about our lives, because we start and we have no end.

This content is related to other contents in the course because in other tasks we have discovered new apps and new materials that we can include in our PLE to learn more easily. As result, we, as teachers, want that our students have their personalized learning so I believe that the aim of our teacher was the same. Through the tasks that the teacher sent us, we have been discovering new applications, methods... In addition, thanks to the group work, we have been able to see different points of view and reflect on them.

Finally, regarding the social connection of this task, ICT has come into our lives to stay, getting better and better as time goes by, so our PLE will be changing for the better by including new updates. Looking back, today we are very fortunate to have the ICT to increase our knowledge even more.
