Hi there, I'm Jamal , and this week I've been the facilitator.
This was the first time that I've been the facilitator, but I did my best.
This role wasnt as hard as I expected, I thought that I was going to argue a lot with my group mates, but that didnt happen,
I took the advice that the last facilitator gave me about staying calm, and it worked.
We met on Tuesday to complete the task.
This week had to understand  how schools are organized and how everything is in a relationship, because schools are complex, and that's in what we have focused. In this activity we had to explain what's the meaning of complexity and how this affects the relationships at school. The task was divided in 2 different chapters, so we divided ourselves in 2 groups too.
One group had to find and example in the news about education from the last year that could be related to each chapter, and explain the relationship. The other group had to create 5 fiction cases to explain the types of relationships at school and how each one of them would have the day to day teaacher's situation.
I think that the division that we made was very efficent, and we were able to do it  properly. We have to think about splitting the work in the near future, because it works.
I really enjoyed being the facilitator and I would like to be it again soon.
I would like give to the next facilitator the same advice that the last facilitator gave me: Please, stay calm,
Have a nice weekend.

Hi, I'm Jamal , and I've been the translator this week. This is the first time that I have this role. This week we've done a video summarizing what we have learned , so there aren`t new concepts. I`m going to rethink old concepts.

Prize: It is a reward that obtains a person or group when they win a contest, a race, or a competition. The rules the candidates to receive the prize usually know what they have to do to get it and it is desired by all of them. That is the reason why it is used as a reinforced to motive the participants to do their best in order to achieve it.

TPACK: It's a framework that is useful for explaining the different types of knowledge that a teacher must have to be as effective as possible. The idea it defends is that to be able to exercise their profession in a good way, any teacher mus develop these three kinds of knowledge, and the different combinations between the three. The main objetive is to improve the level of education by taking into account the different aspects of education.

 Infographic: It's a representation of a technological source of information, created to make the data easily understandable when someone looks it briefly. People also use it to simplify a lots of data. It's also useful to see data design and to control changes in variables overtime.

Mercator projection: Its a projection created by Gerardus Mercator. It's a cylindrical projection.
It's an adaptation of the transverse standard Mercator projection. It is used in national and international mapping systems around the world. The worst thing of this projection is that the scale is distorted.

Hello everyone, I'm Leona and this week I was the facilitator.

I was a bit apprehensive about this role, as I didn't know what to expect or how difficult or easy it was going to be.

It was definitely a lot more easier than I had imagined. I thought I was going to have to be screaming 24/7 at my group. That was not the case at all, we work very well as a group considering we are nine members.

Our project for this week was to summarize in a video all that we have learned over the past weeks (TPACK, Map projections, Creative Commons, good presentation, dark side of textbooks). I enjoyed the last task the best: the dark side of textbooks.

First of all, we reviewed all the activities that we had done over the past weeks. Once we had done that, we all helped with the video. One person was on the computer and the others were trying to come up with what we could write on the video. The website we used to do the video this week was called PowToon. I never knew it existed until this week and I would definitely use it again.

This week Mar was the star and she had to present the video. After that, each group had to score the other groups and we pretended that we were in the Eurovision when the stars were announcing the results. It was very funny and original.

I think being the facilitator is easy if your group takes you seriously and knows you mean business and actually listens to you, if not, in my opinion, you're just wasting your time. What is the point of telling people what to do if they're just going to ignore you? To be a good facilitator, you have to find the balance between being strict but also remembering you're not superior to the rest of your members, and it is so necessary to take everyone's opinions into account.

To be honest, we were expecting to get a higher score in the Eurovision contest as we really worked hard on our video and thought we did a pretty good job. Out of the whole class, if I remember correctly we came 5th. I suppose it shows you that you always have to push yourself to the limit and never settle for less. All we can do now is keep improving little by little.

Well that's all for this week. I hope you enjoy reading my post and also that it is helpful for you all in the future.

See you next week, have a great weekend! :-)

CURATOR WEEK 6:
How to do this? Well, on this occasion, we have to made a video about the 4 tasks made explaining the most important context of each one. 
So, my mission as curator, is to reference the webs we have used to develop this task, task 6. Besides, I have to continue with our main map taken into account the resources that we have used.
First of all, on Monday, Linda explained the task. As always, we could help us, with the written explanation on aula virtual. Here, we had the links that would make possible to do our video wich couldn't pass the 2 minutes. We have to do it right and nice, because we would do a contest.


Tools:

About the main map, here you have two different pictures, one of my part,  and another one that shows all the work of the Prickles.
Hi everyone! I'm Miriam from The Prickles and this time I'm being the curator-farmer of my team. As you know, this week our work was to summarize what we have learned in all the before weeks worked.
