This week the whole group had to develop a similar task that the previous one. This activity consisted on creating an activity in which we should include different tasks in order to present it to other groups and make them work on doing it.
By perfoming this task, we had learn to structure several activities step by step and also to prepare a good explanation about how to do it for making students understand what is its aim. We have divided the work into each of us and we have complement each other to create a better environment and to work as dinamic as possible.
For starting and getting some onformation previously before doing the task, we had to read and observe this document:
We created an activity based on creating a mind map with an easy and brief story and for doing it, we created different roles for each integrant of the group. This roles helped the group to distribute the work and to develop the task in a good way, they were composed by a Writer, a Hacker, a Reporter and a Director and we put this roles in 4 different cards to make students chose on of them and elaborate its work. We have also made use of different tools, apps and software to facilitate the process.
The minmap consisted on the elaboration of a structure based on stories that the learners should chose to work on it.
Explaining our classmates and other groups the activity we created has been amazing and really interesting because thanks to this we are mixing a lot of concepts and ways of working with the rest of the peers and watching someone working and respecting our activity is really greatful.
The best part of this activity in my opinion it was the fact of creating a relation between different tools like edmodo or canva and developing this activities and common proyect for children by creating a mindmap, a QR and several methods to keep a variable learning with different stimuli.
What we have larned in this task, is the way in which activities should be or can be structure in order to elaborate a proper work environment in which in this case, children are going to spend time to develop their competences of the task we propose. We also have learn in order to use different tools like edmodo or concepts like mindmap (which we had discovered before but thanks to this activity we have keep improving its elaboration).
Here I have found a brief article that talks about one of the main concepts of this activity thats is lear to lear. It is really interesting:

The permormance of every member in the group has been amazing because all of them have worked cooperatively and coordinated and we have reach to create a comfortable learning environment and thanks to that, different ideas, purposes and ways of focus the task has come up. The help that we provided to each of us has been greatful in order to maintain a fluent work and improve our individual tasks in this proyect.
I find this kind of competences and proyects that everyone has elaborated due to this 4th task has made each of us reflect and learn from it in a deeper way and we are evolving thanks to this type of working tasks.
This activity can be relate with the first one when talking about the ACAD structure due to the fact of the class set design, the different materials we have created and used in other peers activities and the ability to move, observe, touch phisically, create, make etc. It is also related closely with the previous task that taks about the taccle activities which involves similar structures and tools to create activities.
In class, this taccle key competences activity, has made us (students) entertain us by carrying it out in class and we have learned a lot thanks to the different tasks the classmates have created. This has provided us the discovery of new mehtods, tools and points of view from the designers of the task we were asked to do and thanks to this we have received more skills and ways of thinking.
