9th task - Conclusions

Leo Díaz Díaz: This activity reminded me of the first one we did at the beginning (TPACK and ACAD). However, I can find big differences from that activity. It is noticeable that we have gained experience during the course and that we adapted better to the speedlearning method. This week the stars have been Jorge and César and I have noticed a clear improvement in them since the fluency and clarity of the concepts that we had to explain has been very good. This activity brought together everything we have given, it consisted of creating an environment through an infographic with the digital skills that a teacher must have and also relate them. I think that to be able to do this activity correctly we have to have the concepts quite mastered and I think it is so. Throughout the year, we have learned many interesting things that we are able to apply. We had already created an infographic in another subject so we had a notion of it and we were able to go more direct. We chose a range of colors and tried to make it as eye-catching and attractive as possible. Digital skills in teachers are one of the things that we will need more in our future. Our society has evolved with new technologies and also demands teachers who are able to be effective in this area. This is the big problem of many schools, colleges and universities in Spain. They are outdated and their teachers do not adapt in any aspect to what society demands. Therefore, it is impossible to move forward and that is why we find ourselves in so many studies lagging behind from the point of view of digital competence in school. ( This week I had to be the analyst, so that is where most of the reflection is. )

I would like to leave this page because I found it interesting because it creates your spectrum of digital competences.: https://digital-competence.eu/

Jorge Nicolás Martínez: This has been a very special task because it includes the rest of the tasks we have done until now, we have learned some key elements for teachers which are involved in the competence they need for a digital world. When I have been the star I have performed the role alone, but in this one I have had to present our infographic with César. I like presenting alone because I only have to focus in my speech, but working with César has been really easy and we have work very hard in the content and structure of the presentation. We have had some problems at the beginnig printing the infographic, but we have soved it the best we could and our speech has been very complete and very well organizated. Because of this first problem I have a little bit unfocused, however, due to the speed-learning method I have recovered myself. The speed-learning is a little bit tiring because we have to repeat the same presentation many times, we have thought that it will be much better if different presentations were presented, for the benefit of the audience and the stars. We have watched all the videos of how to do a good infographic and we have learned a lot of useful things about the design, the colors, the content, the icons, the structure, the organization, etc. We have also read carefully the information about the content of the task, and that has been one of the most difficult parts. This task have helped us to take into account a lot of more aspects about technology in teachers which are essential for them and to see the importance of using technology to create methodolgies for children, to teach the content of any subject, to related the elements we have learned with education and society...

Cesar Narros Martínez :This task has not been an easy one to accomplish, but the whole group has done a great job to make it happen. As for the topic of homework, I think it is a topic that is not mentioned much and it is very important for future education. Children are born with a cell phone in their hands and this makes them accustomed to the use of them, but most teachers in the classroom do not use these media because they do not know how to use it. Therefore, as I said in our presentation, one of the most important factors for the integration of technology in the classroom is the training of teachers. Technologies offer us a giant range of possibilities to improve our ways of educating, it is a pity that they cannot be used due to the ignorance in these subjects of previous generations. That is why the numerous models of digital competencies in learning have become so important. We need to create digitally competent teachers so that they have the maximum possible resources to be able to design their methodology and to be able to explain in the most competent way possible.

I attach herewith an article which has caught my attention related to the subject I have dealt with before but in more detail :https://www.aula1.com/formacion-del-profesorado/

María Mansilla Jiménez-Alfaro: This ninth task has been very interesting for us, we have learned a lot and worked cooperatively, helping each other with our mistakes and improving our working environment. This activity has been interesting as well as laborious, we have worked with many concepts of other activities that we already knew and we have known others that will be very useful in the future, we have learned the characteristics of making a clear and fun infographic, which will be of great help when we want to explain concepts or activities in the future. Our stars this week have been César and Jorge, I think that both have done a good job and have been able to express themselves very well and in a complete way in the presentations.The document on which we had to make the infographic was about the different elements that constitute the teaching competence for a digital world, these are very important to make a critical, creative and safe use of ICT in the classroom, the world is becoming increasingly digitised, so you should always take them into account.

Enrique Nicolás Martínez: This task has led to a lot of work for the group because we had to relate different content based on digital skills when teaching or skills that a teacher should have in order to relate it to the content of other tasks or to elements of society and The education. It has also taken time to think and keep in mind the idea of ​​how we were going to structure the infographic, since it was the main element that was going to serve as a summary of the most important content and as information support for our stars when presenting the work in class to the other groups and the teacher. We are all very happy despite the fact that we had certain problems when printing the infographic in A2 size, in fact we made several attempts to print it and none of them came out as it should have, but more or less we managed to carry out the presentation, since that the important thing was the content that the stars of the group prepared and studied to transmit it to the rest. This task has helped us all to relearn concepts from different points of view thanks to making a presentation for which we had to rotate and get ideas from all the groups. I find this method super interesting and you learn a lot thanks to your colleagues. Of course, also the fact of investigating the contents and documents that have allowed us to do the task, as well as Linda's explanations and clarifications, have also given us a lot and we have learned about new skills and methods as well as we have managed to relate these elements with different objectives or competences in the social and educational field.

My role this week has been that of a journalist, it is a role that I like to do since it supposes a return to the process of carrying out the task and makes me see how the ideas that the group has contributed have been carried out. I have also been in charge of taking photographs and some audiovisual content thanks to this role and I find it very interesting and dynamic. In conclusion, this task has not been as easy as it seemed at first, but we have managed to carry it out successfully and I think we have been able to express the concepts and ideas of our work.
