The Analyst

Hi! I am Irene Gea and I was the analyst last week. I had to examine these different questions as a reflection of the global group work.

a) What was the best part of the activity?

The best part of the activity was on Monday when Manel Rives came to our class and we paid a lot of attention to him! That morning we felt like children: we were playing with the dinosaurs and the iPads (I had never had an iPad in my hands and I was really nervous with it). On Monday, we could say, for the first time, that we are Primary Education Students!

b) What was the worse?

The worst was that Manel was only one morning with us and we had to do everything very fast. We did not have much time to learn a lot of things.

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

The best moment of the week was the day that we were taking photos in the university. We were with our dinosaurs in the parking and everybody look at us in a strange way. We had to take 100 photos in the plants and we had to move the dinosaurs every time. The situation was very funny.

d) What was the worse?

The worse moment of the week was when we realized the pictures we had taken with the camera in the university were not useful, because the program Stop motion did not work on the computer. In the end we had to take the pictures with mobile again.

e) What have you learnt?

We have learnt that we cannot go the easy way, if we effort and we work hard, we will be able to get best results and even in a funnier way. If we standstill in the classics methods, society will never evolve. Nowadays one of the most important breakthroughs to progress is technology; we do not have to be afraid of new technologies. If it is possible, we have to take advantage and use them.

Finally, I would like to add that it is very easy to say but very hard to do it. But with the visit of Manel, I think that we are closer to put it to work.

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

I think my group is improving, we are working all together and we are sharing homework and I am very happy with this. I will conserve the wish of teamwork which is starting to grow.

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

We still need to improve the distribution of work among us because we all do not work the same sometimes. Some people always get the responsibility of the group and to make it work but fortunately, we are improving all these things!
