Hello bloggers! Welcome again to our weekly post! Today we, Megan and Verónica, are playing the role of translators. We are very glad to be working together along this week, it has been a piece of cake taking decisions, organising ourselves and reaching to an agreement with each other, since we understand each other quite well.
During this week, we have had some burdensome moments where we didn't know where to start because of all the tasks that we had to do, but we have been working really hard, when we say really hard it means racking our brains to think about alternatives to manage the time in doing "Un día en el cole de mi maestro", some changes in our initial ideas were needed otherwise time would catch up with us.
In the end, everything is solved and our new ideas are even more creative than the previous ones, and also by creating these new ideas we have found that they actually existed being labelled as followed:
In the end, everything is solved and our new ideas are even more creative than the previous ones, and also by creating these new ideas we have found that they actually existed being labelled as followed:
Collage stop motion: An animation collage is a complete reconstruction of the original animation in a new conceptual visual style that mirrors the spatio-temporal shape and distorts the input. By for example, cutting the scenario in several pieces to create a whole one as a puzzle, or giving movement to static pictures by cutting them, and moving them making several pictures in different positions. (based on: https://www.awn.com/forum/thread/1014085).
Storytelling: It can be known as the act of sharing stories with other people, it is considered a cultural and social act. Storytelling is interactive, since there is a strong connection between the teller and the audience, it is really useful due to its immediacy and impact and it is the best way to have your listener engaged in an activity like reading comprehension is. Moreover, one of its greatest benefits is that it involves action, the teller can make gestures, change his/her intonation to catch listener’s attention and even physical movements. Adding to this, it also encourages imagination amongst the listeners, when you are reading you only imagine one approach, yours, based on your own past experiences, beliefs, and understandings, however when you listen the story and see it, you also experiment the vivid images, actions, characters, and events of the story in your mind, based on the performance by the teller.

Adding to this, we needed to know some terms related to our friend "Harry Potty";

Sequence: A sequence is an ordered list containing serial items, or functions for achieving an action on a electrical subject. In our case, we need to establish a sequence to make Codey Rocky perform an activity, each block has its own limitations, since you have to pay attention to the symbol on the right which gives you the clue shape to know which one you can add. Moreover, there is always a primary key value, and this is incremented by another one. (based on: https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/sequence.html).
Coding: these limitations that we mentioned before, they appear thanks to this process, Coding is the process of giving a set of instructions to a computer to perform a specific task, this is also named as “software programming” or computer programming”. Furthermore, such instructions are propagated, thanks to a “computer language” in order that the computer will understand. One of the greatest benefits for children to learn how to code is that it encourages problem solving and critical thinking skills, thanks to this dynamic procedure, they will start creating these skills when they are young.

Moreover, another thing that was freaking amazing to discover was augmented reality! But what is it?
Augmented reality: is the technology that gives life to our physical world, adding layers of digital information onto it. The difference with Virtual Reality is that AR does not create the whole artificial environments to replace real with a virtual one. AR appears in direct view of an existing environment and adds sounds, videos, graphics to it. From our experience, what we did was colouring a template with markers and then downloading this application “Chromville Science”, it was stunning seeing that from our drawing emerged a 3d mountain and the tiny planes were also flying through the sky.

Some weaknesses that we can find in the aspect of storytelling doing the collage stop
motion is that it requires a lot of care about the shots and much more imagination than
usual ones, because the shots have to be quite precise to create the intended movement
effect. Moreover, it requires much more time than usual, because retaking will be
needed if you do not have enough experience. If we apply for educational purposes,
maybe one idea that we have had is making it even more attractive, by using famous
people connected to their interests.
On the other hand, if we talk about coding and sequences, some weaknesses is that we
have to mask language to make it attractive for children make them feel engaged with

have to mask language to make it attractive for children make them feel engaged with
this activity due to the fact that it requires appreciation and encouragement to
experiment. Moreover, it could be something challenging for them at first, because they
have to process lots of information but everything is a matter of practicing, step by step.
Adding to this, they will have to put into practice other knowledges as mathematics, and
some operations might be difficult for some ages, so that the first thing to consider is that
the coding activity that we propose must be adapted to their age.
