My Reporting of "THE GAME"... I Feel Like Lois Lane

Hello everyone!

This last week we started with the second part of the subject: Scholar organization.
For this new part, the method of work is going to be more or less the same as before, but it consists on a big activity, that is going to be divided in smaller tasks (all of them related to the changes in the Spanish Educational System).

Each group had allocated two topics that explain the Organization of the Spanish Educational System, which in our case were these ones:

- The Primary School  
      ·Aim and general objectives
      ·Schools providing Primary Education
      ·Education Policy
      ·Legislative references

Administration and Governance at Local and/or institutional Level I    
      ·Administration at educational institutions level
      ·Non-university institutions
      ·Pedagogical and curricular organisation
      ·Organisational management
      ·Management of resources

Due to there were 2 topics on which we had to focus, we decided to made two groups in order to distribute better the workload of this activity.
So, in this way, each group focused on a topic of the law, and after having deeply studied, each group continued to make concept maps.

For this, it was necessary a lot of documentation, such as web links, the European document that explains the Spanish Educationl System, the LOE (the previous educational law), the new LOMCE and a document from CCOO that makes a comparison between both laws, among others.






Referring to the mind maps, we were looking for a good internet Cmapping tool. Finally, we decided to use CANVA, and amazingly simple graphic design that I recommend to other students. We think that the result was professional and we tried to do it as clear as we could.

This week, the different groups had to group and discuss about the CMaps; in our case we worked with our fantastic classmates from The Little Ants, and among all we unified all the information in a final mindmap.




You can look at the final results in the post of my partner Natalia:




Finally, I would like to talk about others classmates' blogs:

I recomend you to visit the fantastic blog of our classmates C'mon Tutankamon. They have a very good CMap, good content and good design too. It's clear that this group have been working hard this week. 
Congratulations girls!




It's also interesting the way that our classmates of Education Rush Hour.have made their weekly post. 
Instead of write in their blog, they decided to innovate and record theirselves talking about their roles. 
Great idea!


Another interesting web that I've found recently is EducationWorld: The Educator's best friend


It's a website founded in 1996 with the aim of create a place where teachers could gather and share ideas. This place provide us with original content, including lesson plans, practical information for educators, information on how to integrate technology in the classroom, and articles written by education experts.

If you have time, please, have a look at it.
