Hello everybody! It's Lola here, as I'm the journalist this week, let me explain you what we have done! How Universal Teachers work. We love each other! The week started on Monday, we were really curious about this week's task, I must admit that it looked really cool. Our teacher Linda explained the task, it was about comics, a kind of reflection in this amazing format about what we have learned during this past month. We saw that there are many kinds of comics, each group chose one and we started working on them. We decided to work in a before and after style, so we just had to think of the ideas we wanted to show and take pictures of each one of them, As I'm a famous instagrammer and my pictures are awesome, I was the group's photographer and the rest of the group worked as models. Here are some of my favorite pictures: María José looking amazing! Yassin always uses Common license resources. Who doesn't love kahoot? Diego showing his ex...

Hi everyone! Welcome to a new week in our blog. I am Maravillas Álvarez Sánchez, playing the translator role this week. According to the activities done this week, we have to highlight five concepts that we consider relevant: -Before and after perspective:  is a type of comic, that is, a type of artistic expression that is characterized by the integration of image and text, showing in the same vignette the before and after the situation represented. They always transmit the message clearly and concisely, and in a very visual way. It can include dialogue in the form of speech bubbles. -Auca:  it is a type of artistic document that is very popular in Catalan culture. It consists of 24 or 48 images boxed in a vignette, usually on a single sheet of paper, each of which is accompanied by two verses at the bottom of each vignette making a couplet. It can also happen that the image is a photograph. This Catalan artistic expression dates back to the 17th century. The oldes...

Hi everyone, my name is Roberto and this week I am the facilitator of the group. Here are the roles we have developed during the week Maravillas Álvarez Sánchez as translator Diego Asís Berenguer as analyst Yassin Hammalil Nájera as star Roberto Jara Mira as facilitator Lola Rubio Alberca as journalist María José Valera López as curator farmer This is my first time as a facilitator and even though it is not common that a facilitator writes in this blog, I have to say that it has been really easy working with my classmates because they made me things easier. They work very well because they have a lot of incredible ideas. To sum up, I would only say I am really proud of them. What to say about the incredible work of the rest of the classmates.  By exposing together is very enriching for all of us because it provides you a lot of ideas that you will probably use when you are a teacher. Please, comment our blog and say what you think ...

Hi, I am Diego and this week I am the analyst of my group: Universal Teachers. The topic for this week has been: Comic-life summarizing resources. We had to choose a type of comic and to write one with the 10 concepts that we considered more important from the entire subject. We chose a before/after perspective, one that I consider very interesting and funny. The best thing about this task was the workgroup because as we were doing the pictures for the task, we were developing as a group, creating many funny pictures and creating a lot of situations that will be remembered in the future. Actually, I think that this task has been important, not only for remembering all the important concepts but also for remembering all the good moments that we have had during these 3 months, we have laughed, we have argued each other but the most important thing from all of these is that those moments make our life special.  I recognize that my time in university wouldn’t be the same wit...

Hello everyone! I am Maravillas and this week I am the star of the group. Here you have all presentations of our classmates. All of them are wonderful, well done! https://view.genial.ly/5aa193dbb13ff079ed447f5c/the-darks-side-of-textbooks

Hello everyone! I am María José and I am the facilitator of the activity "The dark side of textbooks". My main objective has been to try to organize the work of each of my workmates, in addition to being able to help in any way possible, as long as my classmates had any kind of doubt about the tasks they had to carry out or any of the roles they should play. This week, the work has been hard, since there were many tasks to do, and also very little time to do a good job, although I think the scales of this week have been positive. I hope you have performed my role as best as possible and have contributed positively to this task. I hope you have enjoyed our activity since we have developed it with great effort. See you next week! María José Valera López.

Hey there! It's Lola, and I'm the analyst this week. During this week we have learned a lot about the disadvantages of using textbooks, this is a great topic because nowadays teachers look so dependant from them and learning about their bad facts will make us change our vision about them and become more innovative when we become teachers. We exposed our work in some innovative ways that can also give us ideas to apply them in our future classes. I believe that the best part of the activity was seeing our star performing because we have seen all our work during the week reflected visually and orally. Sadly we also had some confrontations when thinking about the details of the fable, I think it happened because we all thought our ideas were the best and we should consider each other's ideas too, we must take that into account for next week, I think that we should work more equally because some members of the group have worked some more than others and that may be not ...

Hi there, I'm Roberto and this week I am the translator. The following concepts are related to the dark side of books and as you can see, they are related each other. Lack of motivation : Students who are not engaged to the lessons tend to feel unmotivated because they are not interested in what the teacher is saying. The only use of textbooks makes classes boring and not attractive for children who easily get distracted. As a consequence, teacher feel frustrated and very unmotivated because he cannot show what he is able to do as a teacher, he feels he is not professional enough. As a result, he feels his students are not learning and he ends up with suffering burnout syndrome. Unprofessional : In this context, it is referred to the feeling or appearance that some teachers show when they only use a textbook as a learning resource. It is said that textbooks, in general, don't allow teacher to be creative and as a result, teacher feel frustrated because he or she can...

Hi and welcome back! This is Yassín speaking, and this week I'm the journalist of our group. So this week's role were: - Facilitator: María José Valera López. - Star: Maravillas Álvarez Sánchez. - Translator: Roberto Jara Mira. - Curator-Farmer: Diego Asís Berenguer. - Analyst: Lola Rubio Alberca - Journalist: Yassín Hammalil Nájera So, how did this week go? Well, our task this week was a very fun, making either a fable, infography or twitter thread that consists on "the dark side of textbooks". We immediantly chose to make a fable because we thought that we could make something cool and creative with all this freedom, we also chose to a kind of comic to support the fable itself. María José, our facilitator, divided the work in the following way: Diego, Roberto and Yassín took care of writing the script of the fable, Maravillas had to get ready for her presentation and Lola and María José took care of the crafting.  The fable we created, in a ...

How's it going! We got some news even though they are late. We have faced even more difficulties with linking our documents to the blog this week, just like with Week 4! However, we found a solution for it again, and hopefully it won't happen ever again :) . So, without further ado, here is a link to our table which compares three types of projections, Azimuthal, Robinson and Mercator: Link:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bwi-gbeiPrTHRE8tR2syRWlPUnhLRTRYTXVXZXcwWDA0aGI4

Welcome dear readers one time more in this new week in our blog. I am Maravillas Álvarez Sánchez, and this week I am the journalist, so I am going to tell you that we are doing, and we are learning in this lovely week. This week we have the next roles: -Yassín: Facilitator. -María José: Star and Translator. -Diego: Star and Translator. -Lola: Curator-Former. -Roberto: Analyst. -Maravillas: Journalist. This fifth week seems to be so hard, because we have to do several tasks and expositions, but I know that Universal teachers and the rest of the groups can successfully overcome it. After the explanation of out teacher, our group started to work with the new roles of the week. First of all, Yassín the facilitator divided the work in pairs in order to make the task easier. Diego and María José were working in the comparison of the countries and the exposition, because this week they are the stars of the group. Yassín and Roberto were doing the table of the different m...

Hi there! Here you can check the presentation used this week to support our topic: map projections, treasure hunts and, the most interesting one in my humble opinion, whether or not media is neutral (which obviously isn't!). This slideshow is only using images, no text to be found, which made it a bit more challenging for this week's wonderful stars: Diego and María José.
