Mª Luz as a translator
Hello everyone!
I'm MªLuz, and I have been the translator this week when we have discuss about textbooks and its desadvantages. It is a interesting content because we know that many teachers want to change their methods in order to teach but, do they choose their own methods?
First of all, we have to know different concepts that will help us to understand the really textbook world.
- Editorials: Type of company in charge of editing and providing books in order to send it.
- Methodology: The system of methods and principles used in a particular discipline. In this case we can define how teachers decide to give lessons.
(Wordreference, 2014)
- Business: Organization involved in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers. Businesses are prevalent in capitalist economies where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services to customers for profit. We can say that editorials believe eduacation like a business, since if they send more books they will make money.
(The free encyclopedia, 2014)
- Curriculum: The planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives. Teachers have to teach certain concepts that appear in an official curriculum. Moreover, they have to evaluate according to this document.
(The free encyclopedia, 2014)
- Textbooks: Manual of instruction in any branch of study. Textbooks are produced according to the demands of educational institutions. Although most textbooks are only published in printed format, many are now available as online electronic books.
(The free encyclopedia, 2014)
I have chosen this concepts because all of them are member of a educational chain. I mean, we can see TEXTBOOKS in a school, because we need it in order to comply our stage of education. Schools and teachers use a lot of books, for this, they request advice on how to use them. That is why EDITORIALS see in the sale of books a opportunity to obtain more profits,but sometimes editorials would see education like a BUSINESS, no like a right. Moreover, schools have to follow a CURRICULUM where appear the contents and objectives that they have to get, therefore schools look for "the best" METHODOLOGY in order to teach, but are books really appropiate for teaching? Could we change our traditional way?
I think that Education is more important than a business, so editorials would have think more on children than theirselves. Besides, schools as teachers must improve or innovate the class and the methodology, set aside the books and the enormous amount of contents that we can find in them.
Finally, I want to congratulate to Mercedes Ruiz (you can find her on Twitter @londoness) for her visit. We enjoyed a lot with her and we leart so much about new methodology that we will be able to practice.
Have a nice week!

Translator of the week, by Alba Yelo
Hi! My name is Alba Yelo and I was the translator during the last weekend. The topic of the week was about what we have learnt in the subject of Scholar Organization and Educational Resources. We had to make a video summarizing the concepts of all the topics we have worked about.
In order to understand better the video we did, here you have five keywords and its definition:
Learning: It is the act of gaining knowledge, just as we have done with this subject and others, and throughout our lives. We never stop learning.
Future: It is the time yet to come. Through learning that we are acquiring in this race we will be prepared in the future to teach and prepare children to be individuals.
Technology: Our future work as teachers will be strongly influenced by technology as we saw on the #TPACK's work. We also saw on #Librosdetesto that the learning shouldn't be related just with books, but on technologies. In this topic we have used technology because we had to use powtoon in order to make the video.
Cooperation: beneficial but inessential interaction between two or more people. We have learnt how to work in a group (where there are people who has different thinking) and help each other. That will be usefull in our future, where we will be working with other teachers.
Teacher: educator and developer of minds. The video we have done summarizes all the contents we have learnt and we must have in the future in order to be a good teacher.

Carmela Navarro, the translator.
Hello, I´m Carmela Navarro Artés, the translator of this week.
First of all I want to explain the development of this week.
We started doing a draft about our exposition, in which we had some troubles because we didn´t really understeand what we had to do, but after some hours thinking about the patterns, we did it as well as we could.
We also talked over between us because we had different points of view but at the end we resolved everything and continue doing our job as if nothing had happended.
After that, on Monday our stars did the expotition and they did their best.
Another work that we had to do, was do two slideshows, but we didn´t understand it well and we thought that we had to do three power points, one explaining the creative commons, another explaining how to do a suitable exposition (incluiding some contents about how to do a good presentation), and the last one the presentation of our topic, "The layers of the earth". When the teacher explained to us what we really had to do, we had to start it all over again.
According to my work, I had to explain five concepts which from my point of view have been important to understand what we have done this week. This five concepts are going to be: Creative commons, the Earth, the Layers of the Earth, the concept of volcano and the concept of tectonics plaits.
Creative Commons: it is a board of directors who want to find a balace between the public and private interest according to stablish some limits by the author in the use and exploitation of this resources
The Earth: The earth is the third planet from the sun in the solar system, orbiting between Venus and Mars and has one natural satellite, the moon. It is compound by three parts the crass, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
(Press, 2014) (My school house, 1999-2014)
The layers of the earth: there are fou different parts: the crust is made mostly of rock, below the crust is the mantle, which is made mostly of solid rock, and it is the thickest layer of the hearth, it is also very hot. The center of the hearth is called the core, and it is extremely hot, it is further divided into a outer core and an inner core. The outer core is a liquid layer of melted nickel and iron. The inner core is made of solid nickel and iron.
Volcano: it is an opening in the Earth's crust from which lava, ash, and hot gases flow or are ejected during an eruption.
(The free dictionary, 2009)
Plate tectonics: Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that attempts to explain the movements of the Earth's lithosphere that have formed the landscape features we see across the globe today.

Elena Rivera, Translator of the week
Hello! I'm
Elena Rivera and I've been working as a translator. My job is to select five
key words that help to explain map projections better. I've selected the
following words:
I've selected them because they're easy words to understand and very useful when we have to explain something related to map projections. I have learnt a lot as a translator because I didn´t know a lot about map projections. I hope I will learn more in the role of next week.
- Cartography: It's an ancient science and discipline that is able to represent areas of our planet on a map or chart. It can also represent political and cultural divisions of a geographical area, among other things.
- Map projection: It's a transformation of a 3. Dimensional surface (The Earth) on to a 2.Dimensional map. Many maps differ in the exactitude of the representation of an area.
- Distortion: It's an alteration of the original shape of an area of the planet when it's represented in a map.
- Parallel: It's a line that is imaginary and it's around the Earth parallel to the equator.
- Meridian: It's the half of a imaginary circle that is represented on a map. Its ends are North Pole and South Pole.
I've selected them because they're easy words to understand and very useful when we have to explain something related to map projections. I have learnt a lot as a translator because I didn´t know a lot about map projections. I hope I will learn more in the role of next week.

To be a translator by Elena Sánchez Valverde
To be
translator; my point of view
This week my role consisted on collecting the five most important terms and aspects that I considered we had to learn.
Summarizing,
the things we have learnt this week are the concepts of TPACK.
What is TPACK? Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. This words identify the knowledge that teachers should use in their class while they are teaching. In other words, this means that the teachers need some aspects to be good teachers. TPACK are these aspects.
TPACK, in my opinion, is the most important term, inasmuch as this week we have focused in it, but we also have to know the meaning of each word;
T: technology
(advances in technology word).
P: pedagogy (is the science and art of education
that develop conceptual knowledge and develop pedagogical setting).
C: content
(the topic or contents of each subject).
K: knowledge (facts, information,
description or skills which we acquire experience or education).
This week
the group and I have learnt how to cooperate and how to develop each of our roles and helping in doubts of others roles. I want to say that the experience to be a translator is good, and I like it.
Being a Translator, by Alejandro Orenes Almira.
Well, last week, when I finally joined in my group and I acquired my own role as the Translator of the group, I also acquired the responsability to collect the five most important aspects that I have learnt on the week adding the definitions of every term with the help of my mate Elena. I focused on the TPACK documents, where there were enough information to do a good work. TPACK framework means Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge, it treats about a model of teaching that is useful to guide the teacher in the good way to obtain good results.
From my point of view, being a translator has been easy thanks to my mates because of their help. We have been helping us in our own work concerning about doing our best to prepare the exposition of the star, doing it as comfortable as possible. Furthermore, if any member of the group would have any doubt at anytime, all the members of the group tried to solve it. I am very happy with that point and I hope we cooperate with the same way all the weeks.
As a conclusion I would like to say that I'm proud of my group and our organization which is necessary to do the tasks.
