Analyst's reflection

 Hi everyone!! What's up?? Welcome to our last posts of this Resources and ICT course! It's Ana Isabel and this week I'm performing the role of the analyst of the Happy Flowers group 😬💪🏼

So... I could imagine that you should know what the analyst has to do, isn't it? Well, in case you don't, the analyst is in charge of explaining our experience doing this activity and the process we've followed.

Let's start with the reflection of task 9 - Teaching in a Digital World!

The best part of the activity was to create the infographics all together and to learn more about teaching in digital competence. We were all together supporting and informing each other about the concepts for a better understanding and internalization of them, which also made it easier.

As for this activity in particular, I could say that the hardest part was to agree to meet and hold the zoom meetings due to the fact that we are close to our exams period and a lot of work and projects to do.

The best part of the activity was to create the infographics all together and to learn more about teaching in digital competence. We bring out (more or less) our creative side and ideate on how to make infographics with canva

However, the worst issue could be at the time of writing the script, to make the explanations so that they made sense and were brief and concise. In addition, the fact of having to make such a visual type of exhibition, having to reduce the text so much and using objects the more visual the better was also complicated and frustrating, but well, I would say that we finally did it enjoying it.

We have learnt how to make a correct infographic, to select the information we need to do the activity from a extensive text and the way it has to been explained. Besides, we learnt the steps or requirements to be an "effective -technological" teacher. 

As a group I think we work well. Collaboration, comradeship and responsibility (not only for our personal marks, but also for those of the other members of the group) are three values that we have really in mind. If I had to highlight something to improve, it would be the organisation of the zoom meetings, as sometimes we organise ourselves with little time and there are times when we are not all there.

From my point of view, there is some content in this precise task that we had already worked on in another subject in the first four-month period of the year: action planning. It integrated theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge, methodologies and their types when teaching and informed about the need to innovate the different strategies and practices they used with students. All this for one purpose: to be an effective teacher.

I have to say that this is my last post, which makes me nostalgic because we have been publishing in our blog every single week. In addition (as a summary of the course) I have acquired knowledge that I am sure that, in this digital era, I will be able to develop and put into practice in greater depth when I become a teacher.

I have been able to learn to analyze, identify and apply the different existing techniques related to ICT, to have a role to play within a group and to focus beyond sharing and helping each other in the tasks and above all to be more effective.

And, having said that, that's all! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we have enjoyed doing our nine tasks.

Take care and be happy!! See ya!
