CC LICENSE & GOOD PRESENTATIONS: ANALYST

Hi groups of #SOyER1415, I am Ana (again), the analyst in this case and as you should know I have to evaluate the work of my group. This week we have worked in the use of free resources and visual presentations.

The best part of this activity has been the learning of how to use images, videos or whatever with “Creative commons license” because we have been able to discover a lot of new resources and websites in which we can find really great photos completely FREE and naturally with CC LICENSE!!  A good example is Flickrcc. This license gives people freely the right of share media in order to use it for educational or personal purposes, but not for earn money at his own expense. Apart from this, honestly I have enjoyed with the exposition of Mª José from Busy Bees, she has been very dynamic and has known how to keep our attention during the entire exposition. It has been a good moment.

On the contrary, I think that the worse part of the activity was the time of the oral exposition because all of us were very nervous (Imagine the star). It was well prepared but the time was too short for explaining 8 planets in a good way. Nonetheless, we have received the critics of Linda constructively and really expect to improve in the next presentation.  Other “bad” thing of the week, were the problems that the class had in the choice of the topic. The problem was caused because various groups of the class had chosen the same topic but finally we all came to an agreement and peace arrived.

Well, as I have said before, we have learnt about Creative Commons and how to use properly the media that we find online. But also, we have learn and then, put in practise, how to make a good presentation with PowerPoint, Prezi or whatever. The more remarkable tips that we have learn about a good presentation thanks to the expositions and presentations of Monday is that is has to be simple, that the text is not a good resource because there is no time to read it and that “A picture is worth than thousand words.” (Proverbio chino)

As a group we work well and it is important that we conserve the cooperation and the help that gives each other. In this way is comfortable to work in group because we can share our beliefs and worries with the others. Anyway, we have to improve. First, in the meeting time, all of us have to postpone something and make an effort. It is also important that all of us, as a group, accept the advices and contributions of the other members in order to achieve a good level.

This content is much related with the methodology of the other subjects of our course. In almost all the courses we have to do presentations and other activities in which we need to use images so it is important for this kind of things.

See you very soon, kisses.
