Hello bloggers! I am Andrea Bermúdez
and this week my role has been “Journalist”.
This week, while we were working in
the topic “TPACK” I have gathered evidences and information about our work. We
have had two practices during the week, but the second one has been the
longest. In the first class, we did the first practice about words illustrated
by pictures. In the next classes, we made the work of TPACK until Tuesday, when
the stars of our group presented the exposition of TPACK for all the students.
Practice 1:
Illustrating words
In this first practice the teacher
show us a list of words, which we chose five of them, and then we illustrated
it with images. Our team chose these five words: future, deep, success,
belligerent, learning and teaching. We chose these five words because we
thought that these were the easiest. We used these pictures for illustrating
the words:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
1. Deep: We chose this image for the famous
Adele’s song “Rolling in the deep”. Because everybody know this song and the
lyrics.
2. Future: With this image, we pretended to
represent the future, as we know with this popular TV program about the life
the life in the future called “Futurama”.
3. Success: We used an image with a man go up the
stairs to get to the top for demonstrate the way to the success.
4. Learning: We chose a picture of a classroom
with the children and the teacher, and the children were with their right hand
up.
5.
Belligerent: In this picture appeared someone
who was angry.
We are going to
answer some questions which have been proposed after doing the activity
"Illustration words":
- Have you had any problem illustrating the concepts?
There are some
concepts that were difficult to explain, so we have chosen the easiest
concepts to represent it in a easily way, trying that our mates can
understand and discover the words thought the draws and pictures.
- How it is easier to know what is the concept, with a drawing? Or with a
picture?
We have done
both. We have represented the concepts with a draw and with a picture. But we
really think that is better to know the concept with a draw, because of it is
easier to represent what we exactly want. Because with a picture we have to
adjust to the image and with a draw not.
- Messages in illustrations help to clarify the concept?
We think that is
better to put messages in illustrations because it can clarify the significance
of the illustration but sometimes it is more difficult because the messages can
confuse the others if we do not represent well the image.
- Why do you think the other group have had problems to guess the Word?
They have
had problem because one image can have various concepts. Like for example, we
have put an image that can confuse the concepts between belligerent and
indignantly and our mates have had to choose between those concepts and select
one randomly. And to solve this little problem we have to select or draw a
different image that can illustrate the select concept.
Practice 2:
TPACK
We have done a research of TPACK and
its features. Firstly, we read the document of TPACK for knowing what it is.
Secondly, we did an online research to find more things about the topic. Later,
we gathered in the classroom all the information and we did the schema of mind
map. Finally, we did the final mind map on Saturday. On Tuesday, we finished
our work when the stars of the group presented the mind map through an
exposition for all the students.
During this process, each member of
the group have done her individual work and we have done the group work too.
Here there are some evidences of the work:
All this work has served me to
learn what is TPACK and how is to work in a big group for the first
time. It has been a great experience and
I hope that the following works continue being as good as this.
