A new role for this week. Elena Sánchez Valverde

To describe my role this week I would like to say that to be a Facilitator is a bit more complicated than I thought.
Lasts week I was able to understand perfectly my role, but this week we've had some troubles, for instance to when we organized the work between all of us, I made some mistakes.
First of all, I had to understand what we had to do but I have to say I was wrong. Maybe you're wondering, why. The thing was that I understood we had to make three differents Power Points, when actually we only had to make two. But I have to add that we were able to check it and to fix what was wrong. It is interesting how we can create a lot of difficulties when  the work is  actually easier than we think.

To begiin to describe the work that I have done this week, first of all I met with some other people of my group along last week, and we put in common the things we had to include in the presentation of last Monday. That day we'd got some differences between us, but at the end we made up and we tried to do the best for our group and for our work.
On Saturday I started the day telling one by one the things ( the slides) they had to do for this week. It was so difficult because when you have to decide and to organize a group of many people you've always got some douts about who dit it better, even though my group helped me and all of us did the diffents slides together.

As a Facilitator, I encourage up my group to improve some aspects of our work, for example, improve the design and the contents of the blog, and other things. Yesterday we talked to Linda, the teacher of the course, she gave us some piecees of advice to improve the design of the blog to impress the readers.

To conclude I have to say there are some roles which I haven't done yet but, at the moment I think this is the most difficult of all, the explanation of it is because when you have to guide the work of others and these other people are your classmates and some of them are your friends it is complicated, because you want to do your best, but also you have to understand their different ways of working.


Being Star, by Alejandro Orenes Almira

My role of the week was the "star" and I have done a presentation called "Layers of the Earth" with my mate Alba. We were a little nervous, so I think that the presentation wasn't like we hope. However, I think that I have learnt a lot today at classroom and I will try to do it better in the next presentation although it would be in other subject.

Last week, when I noticed my role for the week was the star I thought that I will get very nervous at the time to do the presentation, so I prepared it as soon as possible, but I have been betrayed by my self-steem and my nerves. I think that my topic was easy to study, it was about a topic that it's taught at Primary schools. I really like the universe and all it's stars so I think that the topic was suitable for me.

This week I will have another challenge, me and my mates will prepare all our roles and we will do our best at classroom and home.

This is the presentation I did with one of my mates at classroom last Monday: http://www.slideshare.net/education-rush-hour/layers-of-the-earth-31819809

Alba Yelo, one of the Stars

Hello, my name is Alba Yelo and I was the star of the week as my mate Alejandro. When we had the draft o our work "Layers of the earth" corrected, we met to prepare the presentation and learnt together how to use Google Docs, so we could both work at home.

First of all, I didn't know where I could find information to prepare my presentation, but searching on Google I discovered that best information was on National Geographic's webpage, where I found a special page dedicated to help teachers to teach topics like the one we were working about, so I took most of the information and images from there.

At least, Alejandro and me exposed the presentation today, we were very nervous, so it wasn't very well. Whebn we finnished, Linda told us what was wrong and correct on it. Thanks to her I realized that my part of the presentation could be so much better, so I'm going to do my best on the next work.

Here you have the presentation:
