Journalist's reflection

Hey there! I’m Elena and this week I’ve been the journalist of the group. This week I am in charge of telling you a bit about our week of work, what we have done and the process. In addition, I wanted to make a more visual weekly article, with a video. So you can choose whether to read the article or watch it.

 

First of all, before getting down to the actual task, we divided up the roles. One day later, on Friday, we decided to meet to find out how to start the task and to see if we had any doubts. As well as dividing up the work itself. We also divided the three parts in pairs, so that each pair played a game. But before choosing the games we explored the website 'The hour of code'. Finally, after trying several, we ended up choosing "Dance Party", "Passion for Pixels" and "Dragon Blast".

The next day, each pair was left to their own devices according to their schedule, without pressure. Each one recorded themselves playing and learning. In addition to evaluating the applications with the rubric we did in Task 5. 

On Sunday 25/04 we all met again to see together what each one had, and to advise each other on our games. Once this sharing was done, we made a possible script, in which we only put as a dialogue the questions given by Linda and a question about our experience with each game.

Finally, on Monday Linda published the instructions to make the radio itself, so as we already had a draft script, the only thing we did on the script was to add what was missing (the announcement, the reflection and a bit more about our experience). After doing this, we divided the script and started recording. This process was quite funny as we did a lot of takes until it came out the way we liked it. After we had it all recorded, it was time for the editing phase. First we started to edit it and put all the audios together with Audacity, once we finished what we wanted to do there, we used Filmora to perfect it. Finally we converted it to audio. We stayed up late working on it, as we preferred to have it all done, so that on Tuesday morning we could just share it.

Here you can listen to our final work.

And that's how our week of work went.

This week we discovered the Audacity That is a very useful app for editing audios.

Also, as this week's journalist, I would like to recommend the JAMAP group. The organisation of their blog is impeccable, as well as the information they publish and the recommendations, which are very useful. 

In addition, I would like to recommend the blog of https://www.imaginacreaeduca.com/ because it is a blog I have been following for a long time, as well as her Instagram account, and I have found it very useful and inspiring. It's mainly about resources for teachers, organisers, etc. 

I hope you like this! See you soon!💕👋
