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.

Curator-Farmer's Work This Week. "What have we learned?" #SOyER1314

In this practice we have also used some of the other links that have appeared in the other practices but I have decided not to put them again and I have added new ones.
 
This video has been a summary of the other practices (Illustrating words, TPACK, Treasure Hunt, Telling Stories, and The Dark Side of Textbooks). At first we thought that it would be difficult to do because we only had one minute and a half and moovly (an online programme to create videos) doesn’t have many icons and effects free. Although with the creativity of all of us, we have done a good work all together, and we have spent a good time doing it.

Analyzing "What Have We Learned in #SOYER1314?"


Like every week , we have been working in groups for one of our last practices called "What have we learned in # SOYER1314 ? "

From my point of view as an Analyst, for the best part of the activity  I could say it has been able to make a brief summary of what we have learned in this period in the course and the amount of things that will store from now on in our backpack of knowledge.

The worst part in my opinion was to work with the new program called Moovly because at first any member of the group knew how to use it , so for all of us it was a completely new tool. But I must also say that slowly and investigating how this worked , things became more and more easy.

It's been a pretty tough week , an activity that carried a great job but on one hand the best moment of the week I think it was the time when we had to record the voice in off for our video. We were all a bit overwhelmed but I have to say that our star of this week, Mariano , always know how to see the good side of things. thanks to him I think everything was much easier

On the other hand I think the worst moment was when we thought we would not have time to finish it by the deadline but with a little effort, everything went as we expected.

we have learned how to use new tools and how to synthesized in only 1.30 min what we have learned in each practice of this course

To keep as a Group for the next weeks we need to rely on the work of all members of the group .

And to improve as a group for the next weeks we need not to always think about oneself and try to think as a group. At times we work brilliantly as a group but there are times , even if rarely , this does not happen .



And finally I think that all the content we have learned in this course are related. By this I mean that all the tools that we have learned to use such as Blogger, Twitter , Moovly ... will help us to became what we want in our future : good teachers !

The Stars this week.

This past week, Maria José and Mariano, were the Stars.

The activity consisted in summarizing all the contents we have learnt until now, all the practices we've done so far, using Moovly, a fantastic tool to make videos.

First we learnt how to use this creative software and then we decided how to organize the information we wanted to show and explain to the whole class. We decided to do it in a dynamic and funny way and also we tried to tell each other what we wanted to say, in order to make it clearer for all our schoolfellows.

We explained the five topics we had to talk about in this order: first we talked about Ilustrating Words, then about TPACK, create a Treasure Hunt, using Free Resources and Tips for Presentations, and finally about the Dark Side of Textbooks.

What we wanted to say in our video is what we have learnt in this first part of Scholar Organization and Educational Resources and our conclusions about each practice we have done these last weeks. You can see the video through our youtube account. Please have a look at it.

Facilitator: Administrating the Web 2.0




As a facilitator and administrator of the web during this week, my job has been to coordinate and organize tasks for the making of a video (What Have We Learned?) using Moovly website. Unfortunately, for family reasons, I have not been able to perform my task as I would have liked.

 Basically what we did was work together some days to make a storyboard and create a script that the stars of this week would recite and record, using their voices. While some of us were creating and adapting images for the film, other colleagues were engaged in making the video itself. Finally, as in all previous work, we did a shared piece of work, always developing from a common start and common preconceptions. It has been a fairly quiet and productive week.

I Am the Journalist this Week!

This week I am the journalist, so I am going to tell the history of the group and the dynamic of the weekly work. Also, I have to collect some pictures of the processes.
In addition I have to explore and comment blogs from outside the class and from our own class.

1. I am going to start with the first part of my work, telling the dynamics of the Week.

The practice of this week, called "What have we learned?”, consists of recopy everything we have learned in the course and with this information, we have to make an animated video, “Moovly”. So, we have carried out five practices throughout the course and in this way, the aim of this video is to set out what we have learned in each of them in a summary form.

Before starting work, we established that each member of the group should know the "Moovly"´s program and know how to use it.

First, my teammates and I tried to divide the work. We think that to start our Moovly, we should do a sketch which contain the phrases that the stars were going to say and also a series of slides to structure the video.

In this way, we already had the theory. The second step was to go to practice.
So, secondarily, some members of the group were responsible for making the sketch: thinking animations of each practice. Other members of the group should think appropriate phrases which stars would record. And finally, other should make "Moovly base" which would be modified by all.

Thirdly, once this part of the process was ready, everyone had to log in "Moovly" to modify and add icons, images and phrases in the video. So, little by little, the video was taking shape until it was finally finished, just missing the voice audio. Thus, the audio of the stars was added to video. This was a bit complicated because the voice must be consistent with the slides. It was a hard work but we could do it!

2. The second part of my job is to comment on some blogs, so here I leave the links where I have added my comments:


This blog is about Moovly program that shows animated presentations for teachers. I think it is very interesting and useful because we are future teachers and we should know this information.

Comment from a blog within the class:
3. The third part of my work is to collect pictures:
 
Here we can see GIVEME7 working hard in the practice: "What have we learned?"

In this picture, our Moovly is being presented!! 

In this last image, we can see the final results after the collective vote of the Moovly. We are in third place!!
