Task 5. (Summary Video). Star

 Hello everyone!! My name is Miriam and this week I have been the Star of the group BusyBees!!

First of all I want to apologize for everything that has happened in the class, in the exposition, and for the problem with the video that we have had, we have worked very hard to do it, because of that, we were so concerned that nothing was wrong and to solve the problems.

My experience as a star has been good, from the first moment that we knew the activity, we started to prepare everything and I felt very sure with my exposition. This week we have had to make a video that included all the contents that we have learned in this subject of School Organization and Educational Resources. My group decided that, between the two programs which Linda proposed us to make the video, Powtoon and Moovly, the most interesting and creative one was Moovly, so we started carrying out the task from the first moment.

From our point of view, this activity has allowed us to learn about new tools that in the future we will use, as well as helped another time to organize us as a Group and take advantage of what we do. We have worked pretty hard, and we believe that the result can be seen in the video, so we are very happy.

The day of the exhibition, Linda proposed to present our work in a "competition" of the type of Eurovision, in which we had to present our videos to the other teams. The Group which will have the best one, will win a prize (a lunch in the cafeteria). The judges would be: first ourselves voting for the other groups (30%), then the teacher Linda (40%) and finally, other people who do not belong to our class and who would vote in the same way as us (30%). In the voting, until the end of the competition, our video was very close to with our partners ItSchool, but finally, they won getting the most votes, congratulations guys, you did a good work!.


Regarding to my experience as a star, I have to say that at the beginning, as is usual, I was very nervous and afraid to do it bad or not as good as I can. This first part was well, the problems came when I had to put the video on the computer to show our work to the other groups, there was a problem when I passed the video from Moovly to the pendrive, so the video was passed with errors and it did not open. I got very nervous and I did not know what to do, the computer did not read it, so we opted to try to solve it while the other groups continued with their exposure and showing their videos.
The first solution we tried to carry out was to put the video on another laptop, but as I have said before, the problem was in the pendrive, so it was impossible to open in any one (we tried to open it on three different laptops, have to give the thanks to our colleagues who left us them). I was more and more nervous, I thought about going in my car running to my house and bring my laptop where I had the original video (I never thought that we could have had this problem). Finally I remembered that the last night I sent the video to Dropbox, so everyone got excited.

When the last group ended their exposition and showed their videos, I had to swallow my nerves, to apologize for all the problems that we have had, and to put the video again. This time finally everything went well! After so many efforts!!.

In conclusion, I can say that despite all the problems we had, our group felt very satisfied with the reactions of the people when watching our video. They laughed, because we did it in a very original way. To finish the video, we recorded us singing a song that everyone liked very much, and it was very funny. So we finally feel comfortable with the work done and the exhibition, which, although it did not go as well as we had hoped, we took it forward.

I hope you like my post!! Bye Beeessss!!
