ANALYSTS: WEEK 2.

Here we are again! We are Lorena and Verónica👩👩‍🦱, and along this week we've been taking the role of analysts!.💬

This week has been a peculiar week since we have had to work on our own without the supervision of our teacher Linda, due to the fact that she was taking part in a course.
It's been rather difficult to pull up our socks!😪

However, we must say that we have been working hard to at least prepare a well organised and accurate planning for the coming session "Un día en el cole de mi maestro!".👬👭

As a group, we have had some difficulties in setting timetables to work together, but this is something that even with lifelong friends usually happen. 📅

Adding to this, it has been difficult to focus on the three different assigned activities, we have had so many creative ideas and thus even more doubts. We have to say that it is very helpful to be working with people who are in your same level of creativeness, but we hope that our ideas won't be floating in the air and can be put into practice, reality and effort is needed.😉🦾

According to the work done by the different roles, we have to say that stars on this week were not necessary, since we didn't have to speak in public or present any task.❌

Firstly, our facilitators 🔝🔋 were very involved in their duty, they were on their feet, taking charge of dividing the tasks in the more equitable manner, there were many things to be considerered, but they have thought in every detail to have everything under control, even setting the timing!. ⌚

Our lovely journalists 🔎  took charge of keeping our blog updated and not only there but also on our instagram account, they were present most of the time sharing ideas and dividing tasks between them both.

On the other side, the curator farmers were 📋 in charge of compiling all the information sources we have been using, such as some websites we have visited to understand how to use our 'Codey Rocky',
ideas for the stop motion or some other web pages that explain how to carry out the augmented reality. Apart for their role, they have been also collaborating with us in other many tasks, looking for information and making our work easier to do.

 Moreover, the translator has chosen five key terms, he has also described them and answer the questions concerning to his duty.

The best part of the task was knowing that we are going to work with children 😄. For the majority of us, it will be our first contact with our future profession. Also, the activities are quite interesting; we have enjoyed a lot discovering augmented reality, we felt like we were children again. Our robot, 'Codey Rocky' is now like our baby, we even rename it, now it's "Harry Potty", a very appropiate name for our child👶. We enjoyed learning new things about how it works and every little step of him was a pride for us. Lastly, the stop motion was also very riveting and we thought about the huge variety of materials that we would be able to use.

The worst part of the task was having to work without the teacher. The complexity of this task require us to do our best and in some cases the instructions were not much clear so we had to ask the other groups or search for information on the internet, something that draw out the process 😕

The best moment of the week was when our baby Codey Rocky started to work. Watching something as simple as him saying 'hello', singing or walking was something very exciting to stare at. A little step for Codey Rock is a huge step for 8 plus half !🙈 In addition, the moment that our mountain in augmented reality come to life was impressive.

The worst moment of the week was the coordination of all of us for a meeting 😟 .The fact that we are 9 people with busy lives makes this task more complicates, but thanks to God, this week we have found some hours where we could use our time to the greatest advantage.

This week, we have learnt plenty of new things. First of all, the use of the robot was quite difficult but little by little, we started to understand how it works and now we are able to do many things with him 😛. Lastly, using the app for the augmented reality opened ourdoors for future applications in our lives.

The best thing of our group and something that we have to conserve for the rest of the weeks is that the implication of our members in the task is quite similar. Even each of us is playing a role, we are all helping each other, facilitating the process of carrying out the task 😊. It's difficult to find something to improve as a group for coming weeks, but if we have to point out something it would be that we should read more carefully the task sheets because they may contain some of the information we need instead of asking without reading beforehand👌.

The content we are studying is related with many other courses. From example, the storytelling was something that we had already done for our subject Planning for teaching, but actually we have been doing storytelling since we were in the school, maybe for creating a theatre or representing a daily situation. The use of the robot and the augmented reality was something new for all of us, since we have never worked with these types of tools but that is the purpose of our subject, to learn new things that would make us better prepared teachers 🎥🏆

This content has an important relationship with our lives. Nowadays, we live surrounded by technologies (machines which cook, cars which drive on their own, etc) so we have to be informed and updated with the new gadgets which are appearing.

These technological breakthroughs will, not only facilitate our role as teachers, by making learning more resourceful and dynamic, but also they will make us feel closer to our students since technology is quite present in their lives, and connect faster and creatively the contents or subject matters with technology as well as integrating them in pedagogy.

Aren't you suffering a déjà vu?



We hope you like it! See you in the next post! Don't forget to leave a comment! ✅
