Being a Curator Farmer, by: Alejandro Orenes Almira

Well, first of all I would want to say that the assignment of the role of "Curator Farmer" was the least wanted for me at the beginning of the subject because I didn't know how to do a pearl tree and I thought that it will be very difficult and I couldn't do it. Now, I think that doing a pearl tree is very easy, I could do it alone and I had nothing to worry about. I just had to put some links in some pearls, these links were about the three advertisements we did, the twitter account of Mercedes Ruiz: @Londones and the information of the words that were included one of the videos.

The topic of the activity of the week was: The dark side of Text Books. Me and my mates met at the university to do some videos about the topic showing a clear critique of the text books showing the results that the students acquire from the text books and comparing them with the results that students acquire from the teachers. The advertisements were seen at the classroom during the presentation.

Me and my mates compaired ourself with the Text Books learning that we, the teachers, are much more important than the text books because althought they are plenty of information they can't improve the students' culture as teachers do.

My next role is the "Facilitator", this is an important role and I will try to do my best to achieve our objectives.

Miriam Riquelme, farmer.

This week I've been the farmer. I wanted to do this role because I was curious about the pearl tree thing, and I wanted to make one, like the rest of my group mates. I didn't have much to do, so I can't say I've worked a lot this week, but I've tried to put up with some things we had behind. I've liked my role, not because I have worked less (I feel bad for it) but because it's something I hadn't done before and I like doing new things.
This week I've learnt how to make an animated video, which is very cool because it's a tool to improve your creativity and to enjoy yourself while doing your homework. I also think the activity we did today in class was necesary, because in that way, we've seen what our classmates think about our job and about our way of working. We got 55 points! Which is very nice, if I'm honest.
I can't wait for next week and next rol, in the second part of the course!

Mª Luz Rodríguez, curator-farmer.

Hi everyone!

I'm MªLuz the "Curator-farmer" of this week. These days, we have worked on Layers of the Earth, because this topic is very common in primary education where children learn about enviroment and nature. 

We have found a lot of problems in order to do our work this week, for example, when we were looking for the pictures. That is because we had to choose  pictures with Creative Commons License and there were very few but we got them finally. Another problem this week has been the Power Point where the font and the basic rules did not follow.

This week I did my work in the following way: First of all, we have done the Power Point in which pictures of the layers of the Earth appear. As I am the "Curator-Farmer" I have put the different links in order to do the PearlTree. After that, I have had to do another power point that it explained how to do a great slideshow. For this, I have read many webpages and I have seen a tutorial. The slides have been done according to this tutorial webpages and we have tried to do them as well as possible.

Moreover, this week like a "Curator-Farmer"  I have problems because the references of the pictures were not very clear, authors and dates were confusing and I have found pictures and webpages where the author did not appear. I think that the role of "Curator- Farmer"  is different rather than my last role because the "Star" has to explain the topic while the "Curator-Farmer" does the PearlTree only, both roles are important but different because the first one does its work in public while the second one works with the computer.

I think that the team work very well, but we should improve our blog and our contents. Education Rush Hour has this blog where you can see what we have done these days. I hope you enjoy reading our blog, and above all, you learning so much with us!

Being Farmer: Carmela Navarro Artes

Hello, I am Carmela Navarro Artés, the "Curator-farmer" of this week.

This week we have been working on the topic of Cartographic projections studying the different types of making a map.

Along this week, I have been working with the same programe used by my partner last week, the one called "Pearl tree" but this week the way of using it, has been easier than last week because I have had the help of our curator-farmer of last week, Elena Rivera, so I had to recolect all the information used by my partners about the topic of this week and put it in the pearl tree.

This time my role has been very different rather than the one of last week, the "Star" because, in that one I had to look for the information, do the poster, learn a lot about the topic (TPACK), and prepare the exposition which was a surprise because we didn´t really know how it was going to be, and this week I have been working hard as last week but the way of working has been very different.

According to the exposition, I think that all of us thought that it was going to be like last week, but the teacher suprised us changing everything.

First of all the stars had to explain all the contents together, I mean, there was just one exposition. They did it very well and as in everything there was different points of view about what was the best type. Each star talked a few seconds using their posters and differents tools, for example one group used an orange and in our case we used our power point.

After that the rest of roles had to explain concepts related to the work made along this week.

In my case I had to explain how each one can understand something depending of their experiences, cultures, education... And we explain it with an example, first of all we drew in the blackbourd a body with something in the hand, and then the people had to say what they saw, maybe it was a boy with a towel, a mother cleaning, the gardener picking cauliflowers...

So it is everything for this week, I hope that you don´t find it boring and enjoy with us!

Now we are ready to have another wonderful week of work, we will keep in contact by our account of twitter and instagram.

Being a Curator- farmer, by Elena Rivera

Hello!

I've been working as a "Curator-farmer" this week and I have had to use a programe called "Pearl tree".

It was a bit difficult to understand its functioning because it was the first time that I used it, but. You can share a 

lot of things in this program, in our case we share our TPACK pearl tree, in which I recolected the references 

that we've used to do our work. Finally,  here you can find the link to arrived to our Pearl tree about TPACK: http://www.pearltrees.com/#/N-u=1_1823996&N-p=104096694&N-fa=10693568&N-f=1_10693568&N-s=1_10693568
