TREASURE HUNT TASK: ANALYST'S POV

Hello, I am Pilar, and this week I have been the analyst.

As you may know thanks to other posts, we made a “treasure hunt” activity. The best part of the activity was to realise that sometimes we learn and we teach things not related to the reality, and the vision of the world of our students is distorted and can make them have prejudices about other countries, population, etc. We have learnt that we have to search for real information and be the window through which our students see the world. The worst part was the amount of work and the little information found on the Internet, making it hard to do an accurate information work.
The best moment of the week in the work of our group was the coordination and the speed we had while working: when we had our meeting. The worst part was the initial lack of coordination and I think we could have done better if everyone had come to our meeting.
As we said before we have learnt a lot and we are happy to have accomplished such an interesting task.

Next week I would like, as a group, to keep being coordinated, interested, and that all of us make an effort to help each other. And I would like as well, to be more organised.
I think this content is related to all the others, because we had to be always objective and impartial. We have to look for the truth and aim to teach and learn the true information of the world.

As we have learnt also in this task, the map projections could make the countries badly represented feel inferior, and those which are wider than in the reality superior. This has both social and political consequences.

Finally; I am going to share to you the talk I had with the analyst from the Platypusoyer analyst and the analyst from powerteachers.

We all agree about the bad organisation we had, each one, as a group. We all complain about the little time we had to complete the weekly task and also the problems we had with the content. We all think that we have to find other organisational systems and strategies. But, after all, this is our second task and we are learning step by step.

  1. We hope the analyst make more deep reflections. This is a good beginning, but just a beginning.
