Translator : What Have We Learned?

The activity of this week entails the use of new tools and resources, so for us, as a group, I think that the task in general has been very useful; we have discovered new ways of create and present our work as well as familiarize with editing tools.

Web 2.0 tools: Social media provides a variety of tools, commonly referred as Web 2.0, that educators can use to engage students and enhance essential skills (communication, collaboration, creativity, media literacy, technological proficiency, global awareness...) Other tools can be leveraged to become more efficient and effective at what we do in education.
In this field we can remark MOOVLY, as a tool 2.0 that we can use to create animated videos, banner adds or interactive presentations in an easy way. We used it for create a video summarizing what we have learned during all these previous weeks.

Thanks to this activity, using this kind of tool, we have been able to encourage:

Creativity: We have developed our imagination, to can get a visual, attractive presentation
 that awake the interest of the rest of our partners.

Teamwork: Because of Moovly  is a collaborative tool, there is the possibility that several students edit the video at the same time, which means a groupal work, where everyone participates and is necessary to reach a common understanding to work in the same direction.

Summarise: Our last task consisted of, in a short period of time, being able to synthetise the key concepts we have learnt. With Moovly, we had to create brief and dinamic animations, so the collected messages and ideas must be expressed in a clear, visual way.

Online Tutorial: To can work efficiently, firstly we had to search for information about how to create an animated video using Moovly.com editing tools. For this, we had  to watched several online tutorials, in Moovly's own webpage, and also in Youtube.
