The analyst

Hi guys! I’m Pablo and I’m the analyst of the last week, so I have to do a reflection about the work and the groups for the last week. Let’s do it.

What was the best part of the activity?

The best part of the activity was during the game, I enjoyed so much doing it because it’s a different way to make us to study, and I mean a funny way. We were so excited about achieving the prize, and nervous about falling in a snake which can take us to the beginning. I think it’s a good idea to recognize the effort of whole members of all the groups.

What was the worse?

This week that is a very difficult question, because we enjoyed so much during the whole process of the game. But as in all game, I think that the worse moment in the week, concretely in the game, was when we lost.

It was a pity but we are good players and we are so happy for the people who won, they did it very good and they deserve the prizes!

What was the best moment of the week (in the work of the group)?

I think that the best moment was the last day, because we were in a good position and we had a lot of possibilities to win, but there wasn’t so much time (it was a pity). But I think that the other days were good as well, so it’s quite difficult to choose only one moment.

What was the worse?

As I told, there are a lot of good moments so it’s easier to choose a bad moment because there is only one or two. The worst moment was on Wednesday, because some of us (like me) couldn’t remember some questions, and when we know them we hadn’t got good luck with the dices. Because of that we were last that day.

What have you learnt?

Well, I can’t say all I have learnt because I need 3 or 4 blogs to say it, but I’ll try to do an abstract. We learned things about who gives the money to the Spanish schools, some differences between private and public schools like the election of the headmaster. We also learned that there is a region that doesn´t have any kind of grant (Pais Vasco). So we learned a lot about the topics that Linda gave to us.

What do you need to conserve –as a group- for the next weeks?

In my opinion, we try to conserve the good atmosphere of work that we have. I know that sometimes we have some differences, but it’s normal we are very different people with different ways to work. Nevertheless, I think we are a good group.

What do you need to improve –as a group- for the next weeks?

From my point of view we have to improve the rhythm of work. I think we are so slow for working and we have to be faster.

JOURNALIST

Hi everybody! How is it going? I'm Marina and I was the journalist last week.

Well on Monday Linda explained ITC not School Orgnazation.So I will only describe what we did on Wednesday and Friday.

Well on Wednesday were continued the game snakes and ladders. It was so excited. We were really nervous, because although we guessed the answer of the question, we need luck to advance in the board. I have to say that we were scared about the snakes… haha.

That day we didn’t finish the game , so we decided to contienue on Friday.

On Friday we were playing for an hour, because in the second hour of class, Linda had to explain the way of evaluation and what was the ePorfolio that she need from us, and finally the first winner group was : Never to late, and the second one, was: Hakuna matateros.

It was a pity for the other groups, but the good thing was that Linda told us that she was going to try to make a list of the posible questions that she would do to us in the oral exam.

That’s all for the last week. See you son J

The journalist!!

Hi everybody!! I’m Isabel Abril Pérez-Chuecos, and last week I was the journalist.

On Monday 21^st, we started to choose the question for the game related to the Spanish educational system. The teacher gave to each group one of the eight topics to evaluate the question made by all groups, each group made three questions of every topic. The eight topics have been as follow:

1. Laws and Structure.
2. Management (person and groups of management and government).
3. School time and grouping.
4. General indications about teaching methods.
5. Assessment and certification.
6. Differences between public and private centers.
7. Financing issues.
8. Other structures and variations. 

Each group had to evaluate the questions and put to them a mark, we had to take into account various aspect as the spelling, the understanding of the question and the design. After this process we had to choose the best eight card of the topic. The topic that my group had to evaluate was “assessment and certification”.

Finally every group gave to Linda the card selected to the game.

On Friday 25^th, this was the big day, we started to play. Linda projected onto board a game like “Oca game”, but instead of ocas, it has snakes that make our counter move back and stairs to move our counter forward.

For paying, everyone took it in turns to answer the questions that Linda was asking us. If you told the right answer you would roll two dice for advancing or moving back, if you didn’t know the answer you wouldn’t roll the dice.

Everyone was excited and interesting to win the game because there are two good prizes. The first group that reached the last square it would obtain a joker card that can be used to pass an exam questions, its value would be a nine and a half, and the second group that arrived at the end, they obtain another joker card with a value of an eight.

At the end of this class, the game didn’t have finished, the game only just begun. Therefore, the week after this we must continue playing.
