STAR: Lucía

Hello everyone! I am lucía and this week I have been the star of the group. My role this week has been to conduct an interview, where the Tinkiwinkis group asked me a series of questions and I had to answer them based on my experience with the Computational Thinking. 

CURATOR: Rosalía 

FACILITATOR: Carmen

This week I have distributed the roles for this task in such a way that they were different from last week's and the people who needed to do the work of a role because they had never done it before, do it for this week instead of repeating the role again.

To record the podcast we were quite excited and motivated since we had never recorded one and it was interesting to see the result. However, when we had to test the games, I had to encourage the group a lot because we didn't really know how they worked, but in the end we managed to pull it off.

As for conflicts, fortunately there have been none so we have been able to work peacefully.

TRANSLATOR: Marta

This week, we have to understand some words to make us easier the develop of the task,

for instance: 

Computational thinking: is an interrelated set of skills and practices for solving complex problems, a way to learn topics in many disciplines, and a necessity for fully participating in a computational world.

Digital competences: It involves a set of knowledge, skills, attitudes and strategies that are required for the use of digital media and information and communication technologies.

Podcast: collection or series of digital audio files that are made available for downloading or listening via the Internet. Each individual audio recording is known as a podcast episode. Podcasts are typically hosted by an individual or individuals who lead a conversation, share stories, or report the news.

iVoox: is an online podcast service that can be used both by application and by web.

This task has not been the most complicated to carry out since it was easier to carry out. Likewise, we have encountered some difficulty when it comes to explaining our experience or asking the star of the other group some questions. It is a task that we liked to do and we had fun. To carry it out, we went to an empty class so that there would be no noise and we could record in peace. We recorded it with the mobile and then we put all the parts together to achieve the podcast. To avoid failures or unwanted circumstances, what we recommend would be to have all the questions to answer, well redacted beforehand, to avoid mistakes.

ANALYST: Rileigh 

The best part of the completed activity was the advertisement, but the worst part of the podcast was our interview with the star from another group. I think the best moment of the week in terms of creating the podcast was recording each part. Because we already had a script created, it was simple and fast. The worst part of creating the activity was making sure each of us had enough to say so that the podcast fulfilled the time requirement. I think most of us learned that it is not difficult to make a podcast if you do enough preparation. I think we should conserve our work times. We were quick and efficient in creating the scripts and recording the podcasts. I think we need to improve on dispersing the workload. In this task, one person was left with the all of the recordings, and they had to string them together by themselves. I think it would be more helpful to split up the workload. This activity is directly related to our future professions. As future teachers, now that we have the knowledge on how to create a podcast in a simple way, it will be easy for us to integrate activities like this into our future classrooms. I think there is a slight connection between this activity and recent news/politics. I think using a podcast to talk about the news or politics (such as the recent events between Russia and Ukraine) is an easy way to both stay informed, and inform others.
