WEEK 2: REFLEXIONS

A - Language improvement: vocabulary learnt, some part of grammar better understood, which type(s) of language difficulties are you facing, how a team-mate has helped in making you understand something?

So far I've only learned technical vocabulary due to the videos (History of technology interactivity and Digital story telling). In fact we haven't started working as a "team" because we don't even get in contact with each other after the class !

B - Pedagogy: Which type of decision-taking is important? Why do you take the decisions you do while making stories? Which aspect of teaching did you learn today?

To be honest, I don't know which type of decision-taking is important. When I have to take decisions, I choose them according to my goals; choosing the best alternative.

   

C - Use of technology: how do you think the technology you are learning to use is helping you to make stories? Which types of technological difficulties are you facing? Are your friends helping? In what  way?

A story is a series of pictures (animated and voiced or not) used to give a message and the technology I am learning to use (VoiceThread) is helping me to assemble all this elements (sounds, comments, pictures etc.)  rapidly and efficiently. 

I’m not facing any technological difficulties or being helped by my friends simply because we haven’t started working.

D - Collaboration: how are you dividing your tasks each week? Who does what? Who helpswhom? Are you facing difficulties collaborating with each other? How are you sorting themout? How much work are you managing to do in class and how much do you do at home?

We have communication difficulties because my emails never get a reply or my texting.  We are supposed to communicate via Edmodo and it still doesn't happen but I think that we'll soon solve this problem ... 

I haven’t done any work at home yet besides trying to understand VoiceThread. 

I'm not sure if this is what we had to do but ... at least I tried ;)
