WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT?: FACILITATOR'S POV

                                            FACILITATOR

Hi, it’s Pilar!

This week I have been the facilitator of the task number five. This week has been different: we have already finished the first part of the subject, and it was the last task in “educational resources”.  We had to make a video summarising all the tasks we have made until now. We chose to make it with moovly.

On Monday, when we knew what the task was about, I started thinking how I was going to organise the work in groups. I thought the best way to do it was to distribute the task in order to do the video from afar. As you may already know, our group members have difficulties to meet. I proposed to the stars to think about what things of their presentations they wanted to include in the video, and we created a structure to follow: What have we learnt, what tools we used and to choose some pictures to illustrate it. The three people that have not been stars yet helped us in another way: Javi and Fran helped me with the task of common licenses, tips and good presentations. Maria was the one in charge of the video, and we committed to help her in case she needed something.

The structure we followed to summarise what we learnt is this one:
           1)      Name of the activity

           2)      Message learnt

           3)      Tools used

           4)      Ways to teach

           5)      Pictures

I stated a deadline to send Maria all the documents needed to do the video, so Maria had time enough to do it during the weekend.

I have to say that I am very proud of my group. It was hard at the beginning to get used to each other and all the different ways of working, but now we all collaborate and we are organised and coordinated. We keep improving!

Today, we have showed our work to the other groups. We presented it in an “Eurovision” format, so we had to present it, and later we had to punctuate each group with the following marks: 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3.

We gave these points:

         -          Busybees: 12 (79 total points): We loved the fact that they thought about a story of a kid to show all the tasks... Original! 

         -          itsChool: 10 (82 total points): they are very technological!! They have created a very      dynamic video.

         -          Powerpuff teachers: 8 (53 total points): Music and pictures... lovely!

         -          7up: 7 (45 total points): well done! Very clear information :)

         -          Powerteachers: 6 (50 total points): We think that it is very entertaining!

         -          Keepcalm: 5 (58 total points): We enjoyed  the pictures they showed on the video. 

         -          Playtipus: 4 (35 total points): good effects, funny animations !

         -          Umpalumpas: 3 (36 total points): we really liked the music they chose.

We have enjoyed a lot this Monday!

See you soon,

Pilar Meerkat :)
