translator 2 task. SUMMING UP WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED.
Hi, again! Im Paula from The Prickles group!
As translator
this week, my work is put here the 5 most important contents I have learned
during the second task.The five terms
we have chosen to give them a definition have been:
Map projection: It is a way to represent the entire world in a plane
image. All the map projections are not very correct, because they distort the
reality. There are 3 main types of map projection:
-Cylindrical
projection (Mercator)
-Flat projection
(Robinson)
-Conic
projection (Azimuthal)
Robinson map projection: This projection was created by Arthur H.Robinson, and
its primary purpose was to create visually appealing maps of the entire world.
It’s a compromise projection, it does not eliminate any type of distortion, but
it keeps the levels of all types of distortion relatively low over most of the
map.
It shows the
entire world in just one plane with round corners. It was replaced by
Winkel-Tripel’s
projection.
Internet Scavenger Hunt: It is a new
kind of activity which helps children to understand some concepts. It is a way
of introducing technology in content knowledge so it will be used in those classrooms
in which teachers are involved in technology.
The activity consists
in in give to the pupils some questions and a web page when they can find the
answers to those questions. And to finish with the activity, there is a
question called: big question in
which children will have to link up all the contents they have learned because
they won’t find in the web page the solution of this question.
This strategy is
created to help children to learn information about some interesting issues.
Media Distortion:
This word refers
to the alteration of the original form of something.
Mercator projection: It is a cylindrical map projection, created by
Gerardus Mercator.
It is an
adaptation of the transverse standard Mercator projection. It is used in
national and international mapping systems around the world. The worst
consequence of this projection is that the scale is distorted and it creates a
vision against the 3rd
worlds.

It has been a pleasure to get to know you this information, guys! Have a nice weekend!
