iPortfolioCmonTutankamon: Extras

Finally on this page we have to answer justifying

the following items:

• What we remember the most is...

We have no doubt answering this question. Obviously the answer is the totally new way of working, discovering things by ourselves by technology. At this point we are so impressed of what we have achieved in this subject. We actually thought that we were not able to succeed in every of the task during the course but spending time on each one of them and, above all, working in group helping each other we have done all of them pretty well.

Probably we won’t also forget the pressure we had during every week task but, thank of this we have tried very hard to do the best we could. Something in that all of us are agree is that we will never forget this subject, it has been the different from the others in our grade. Thank of it we have changed our perspectives about education, starting to think about new way of teachings and leave behind old-traditional methodologies, improving then in a more progressive way.

• The hardest thing has been ...

We have to admit that, for us, were incredibly hard to get use to the rhythm of this subject. At first we were so overwhelmed and we thought we had a huge lack of time to do the task. As we have moved on, we start to learn how to deal with it. Despite it, even until now has been moments of a real feel of drowning (above all when we have exams too)but as we said before this has create in us a more fast, well-organized people, knowing perfectly how to have a good teamwork.

• The easiest thing has been ...

We think that the easiest thing has been working in our group. In the beginning everything seemed very abstract and we were a little worried because we didn’t know whether we would be able to work in this way. We had already worked in a group in other subjects, but never for so long neither with the same people.

Nevertheless we took it easy. We always tried to help each other in everything we could. This way of working made us make a bigger effort each day and it has been a positive thing that will help us in the future, we’re sure.

• The funny thing was ...

We always will remember the funny moment in which we made the videos for the advertisements of “The dark side of textbooks”. Firstly we tried to film the videos again and again, but always something was wrong. So we were a little overwhelmed. But everything changed when we started to film the last advertisement. It was so original and funny for us and we enjoyed and laughed as children making it.

• The most boring has been ...

There isn’t any concrete moment that we remember as the most boring, but if we have to say something, we think that the part of the subject that wasn’t as nice as the others was when we had to write up the post of our blog, because it was not as enjoyable as living the moments.

• Something that will be useful for sure...

We think that something that will be useful for us and for our future is all the new web 2.0 tools that we have learnt to use, like moovly, pearltrees, blogger… In this subject we have discovered how to apply technology to a classroom in a good way.

At first, we were a bit worried because we didn’t know how to use these new tools, but know we have the confidence to explore and find new things by ourselves.

• What we will no longer use...

At the moment we still use all the applications, we think that all the activities that we have done during the course are very important and than with each of them we have learned a new thing, for examples activities such as: TPACK, moovly, the dark side of textbook...... So we think that we will never stop using these applications because they have made us learning to learn and we will continue to look for other applications to improve it.

• The activity where we have learned the most has

been...

The activity in which we learned more activity was TPACK because we learned the best way to teach, that is, the union of: pedagogy, content and technologies and the importance of balancing them to become a good teacher.

• What we should improve in our work for other

courses is…

We think that in the group works we perform for other courses, we must make a number of improvements: of course

- Improve the leadership. During each week the person who is responsible for directing, distribute and control the group work should be stricter and have more leadership commitment, because we didn´t distinguish who was the leader of the group and who not. The leader was only distinguished when she allocate roles. This is good in a way because all of us contributed with ideas and each of us managed the role that had been assigned as she considered necessary, but we believe that with a strong leader in the group we would improve the organization and would avoid som confrontations and disagreements.

- Increase confidence in ourselves and in the group, and also have a motivating vision for the group, because we have had to face to some diffieculties and we thought that we couldn't do it and that we would not be able to get the work done, but finally with hard work and effort we achieved it.

• What we need to keep for other course is ..

We have to keep for the next courses our motivation and effort to make all the activities.

It is very important to continue investigation and working in groups and with collaboration.

We must continue to strive in all work to achieve our goals and all of this with the use of the technology.

With hard work and effort we can get all.

• If we pass it is because ...

If we get pass this course will be because we have worked hard all this time.

Another important aspect will be that we have learned the basic knowledge of this subject and we are able to teach our students in the future.

If we pass the subject all our work and effort will be recognize.

• If we fall it is because ...

If we don´t pass this subject, for us won´t be a failure.

We have to work harder because the teacher have to see all our efforts during this time and congratulate us because the most important thing is to learn.

Finally, in the extras, we want to present all the photos during this year in every activity, so... Come on and see the photos!!!

Do you remember the first day of the subject? Of course :))
