Task 1 (TPACK). Analyst

Hi, I’m María and this week, I am the analyst. This role consists in evaluate the work of my group.Working as analyst is a complex role but very interesting and I recommend you.With this role I have learnt to improve different aspects of my group.

a. What was the best part of the activity?

I think that this subject requires a lot of effort for doing each activity, and of course me and my group have to concentrate and make the task as best as possible.We were very motivated about this first task.In relation with this task we really liked design the mind map and doing it in a different way,creative and original.So the best part of the activity was doing the mind map and collect previous information to design our model of TPACK.Also one of the best part is we have learnt to work as a group,interchange ideas and trying to innovate in the task as much as possible.

b. What was the worse?

Honestly I think that in this task we haven't had incovenient when we searched information.Maybe the problem was in how to focus the principal ideas in the mind map and also design TPACK in a creative way and not doing the typical model that we can search in Internet.In spite of this problems, we worked very hard to resolve all of them and trying to do it as well as possible.

c. What was the best moment of the week (in the work of the group)?

The best moment was when we met and linked all the parts of the robot.We are very enthusiastic about it and proud of our work.

d.What was the worse?

From my point of view  the worst moment of the week was when the ink of the robot´s shoes flowed to one of the cardboards extreme,we thought that we had to do all the things again and we had few time to do everything, however, we were lucky, because that exactly extreme was hidden by another cardboardso we weren't worried about that.

e.What have you learnt?

I think that with this activity we have learnt a lot of things about a different model of learning  which is very important because in contemporary societies technologies take part of our lives and childrens' live as well who spend a lot of time with computer,videogames,mobiles phone that we didn't know before.So teachers have to know integrate technologies in the classroom using for example whiteboards,interactive games for children and so on.They need it for an effective learning in the classroom.

Apart of it, with this task we have learnt also respect the ideas of each member of the group and using new technological tools like blogspot, rubric…Also one of the important things that we have learnt is working as a group

f.What do you need to conserve -as a group- for the next weeks?

For conservating my group, I think that we need innovative ideas, looking forward to work and good environment between us.Especially is important respect the ideas of each one for doing a good work

g.What do you need to improve –as a group- for the next weeks?

For improving my group we need to help each other and continue working like we have been doing these days ago.

h. How THIS content is related to other contents in the course and in
your degree?

I think that this content is related to the subjects that are developing during the course.For example, we have Scholar Organization and Educational Resources that use the model TPACK and other subjects are related to content knowledge such as language and English and pedagogical knowledge, such as, theories of education, developmental psychology, planning,educational psychology.

i.There is any evident social connection of this content (news, politics, etc.)?

This content has a social connection, for example, in educational system, teachers will have to teach their students with technological tools,using whiteboards,projector...As we know we live,of course,in a world in which technology takes part of our life.So in a way advances in societies promote this kind of model.

There is also a connection with politics.Depending on the politicians and their ways of leading, they can choose different ways to apply this model of learning in the curriculum.

  1. Take care on punctuation. comas are very important in order to understand better the phrases.
    In addition some of the answers -the wide majority- are a bit superficial, try to convert the analysis in a global thing, not just in a sequence of answers.
