FACILITATOR WEEK 6

 It's Marina García and this week I've been the facilitator of the Chalkies. It's time to lead the group!

Easter holiday are over, so we are back again... and I've returned quite strongly. I was pleased and totally prepared to assume this role.

My girls were quite relaxed because of their  holiday, therefore it was my responsabilty to trasmit them as much energy as I could in order to start working as hard as we usually do. To encourage them I  brought  them candies and milkshakes and I also sent them some funny messages to remind them how important is to work together and, of course, with positive vibes. Why positive vibes? Because the last tasks we did before Easter were a little mess. We were such as saturated, we have had a lot of works and everything was stressful. So I tried to change that negative atmosphere.

 Let's talk about the current task: SUMMARIZING #SOyER1516 's contents until now in a animated video.
Every member said that this was an easy task and I agreed, so we weren't as worried as we had been in other weeks, but we needed a perfect organization in order to work properly and not have any problems.

I said that the best option would be to organised every iformation about the subject on the first day (Monday), and my mates agreed, so we started working. Each member should look for important content about previous tasks, classifying them into: pedagogical, technological o content information (according to TPACK)

Afterwards, it was time to make the video (Tuesday). I though that creating a video in a single afternoon was enough. Unfortunately, I was wrong. We were using a video maker (which is called "Moovly") that we had never used, so we were too slow, discovering every detail that this online programme has. We spent so many hours creating this video. We met at the beginning of the afternoon and we finished at night. So, it was a fault on my organization.

However, the result was great! We were happy with our work and also the rest of the student were, since on Wednesday we voted for the best video and WE WERE THE THIRD ONES! Of course, it could be much better, but, personally, I think that a third position is a nice one.

This week we got the bronze medal, but next week we will look for the gold one!

CHEER UP, CHALKIES!

JOURNALIST WEEK 6

    Hi!!! I am Marina De Vicente and this week I am the Journalist I describe everything we did about this task in a comic that I have personally created. I have chosen a comic because I think that it is a good and easy way to explain everything we have done with funny pictures.
 All the videos of this week have been wonderful, all the groups have done a good job, but I really liked  Tuttifrutis`s video , it was lovely! That's  why I've left a comment on their blog, as you can see here:

STAR WEEK 6

Hello bloggers!
I'm Alicia Gomis and this week I've been the star of The Chalkies.
When we arrived to class on Monday after our Easter holiday I was so afraid because I had not been star until then and I knew that it was my turn. Anxiety arrived when the teacher began to explain the task for the week, but I felt more relaxed when I heard this sentence: "the stars this week have a very brief role".
And so it was,  the task of the week as you know was to make a video using one of the tools proposed, summarizing what had we learnt so far on the subject, and the function of the star was just to present that video. On Wednesday the stars of all the groups presented the videos and then we lived a kind of Eurovision programme and I, as a star, was in charge of giving the points to the rest of the groups. We felt really entertained, it was amazing!
You can see here our video and help us to achieve a good mark giving us a like on youtube, It's so easy!!

We did a good job Chalkies! But Tuttifruties did it excellent and they won the contest, congratulations girls!!

See you next week  :-)

TRANSLATOR WEEK 6

Hello guys! I'm Alicia de Prado and I have been the translator this week.
So, what have we learnt with this task? Let's see!

We had to make a review of what we had learnt in the course so far. We made a 2 minute video explaining so. I think the most important thing we've learnt was to summarize and went to the key ideas of every task. We synthesized each work in a few concepts, and that made our brains become more and more structured.

We are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.. Well done Chalkies, let's continue improving until the end of the course!

ANALYST WEEK 6

Hello everyone! I am Isabel Ramírez de Arellano Sevilla and I am the analyst of this week. Let's see how it was!

Monday faces were the ones that we had on the first day of this week. We were looking forward to knowing the task that we had to develop for Wednesday. ''Summarizing the last weeks'' was the name and what we had to do, but, how can we summarize five weeks of work, feelings, knowledge...? It was a hard task but we always get our highest level in making it.

Chalkies are always running out of time, we are like a football match. We are the loser team until last minute, we lose our patience, we want to give up... But suddenly, it is like if we knew how to survive and how to win the match, suddenly we get the key but we are running out of time. It is in that moment, when we really work as no one could work. We cooperate, we help each other, we run with the ball in our legs and we score the goal and after that, we win, we win another match in the last minute. I have said that we win the match because on Wednesday 11.30, everything is done for being presented by our amazing star. Probably, we have an special way for making things in the last minute and making it right, probably it is not the best way but sometimes it works. We work together. We just need to improve little things like winning before the match sometimes so that we don't lose our minds.


We are the best players of this game because every week that happen, we learn, we learn how to improve, how not to make the same mistakes, how not to kill us when we work. However, there is still a long long road to walk, as our video of this week said. A good teacher is always learning and this week we have learnt how not to give up never and how change things from bad to excellent.

Great job my Chalkies! I am completely proud of us!

Together we are invincible!
