Partner search

Hello everyone! Today I am here to share with you my partner search and the elevator pitch I have created for you to join my collavorative project.

For the development of this project I would like to collaborate with "No me cuentes historias dibújamelas" a project, which has been designed to help the students in their learning process by using visuals, infographics and visual thinking. As a way to run away from memorising and text books.

 It match perfectly my project as their main objective is to draw stories to make it easier for the students to learn, in this way, my project is about students making stories for them to learn not only english but also other subjects in the second language. So I would be pleased to collaborate with them and make a real collaborative project.

To generate the elevator pitch I have done a draft to clarify my original ideas and to be sure of what I really wanted to say:

This project has helped me to know what an elevator pitch is, in case you don't kow what it is one of my classmates has explained it perfectly and you can visit her blog post here where she explained everything about it. With the elevator pitch I have learned how to synthesis information and erase all the irrelevant information, as I really wanted to catch your eye in just 20 seconds. About the tool I have used to generate the video, it was I movie, as it is a program I already know how to work with and it was easy to me to use it because I recorded the video using my ipad. 

This post, as the previous one have helped me to get a better idea of what a collaborative project is, not only within the classroom but also out of it. Giving me the chance to choose the project that best matches mine to collaborate if possible. I have really appreciate it, because it has open my mind and dare to take risks. 

The fllowing week I will be posting my super learning missions, so please stay tuned for more information. And thak you for reading today.  

My visual metaphor

Hello again!
Today I am back with you all, to share the visual metaphor I have created to illustrate how my project is going to become a collaborative project.
Creating a collaborative project nowadais is very important to engage students, and increase their positive outcomes. For this reason three types of collaboration movements will be included in my visual methaphor:
- Collaboration within the classroom through cooperative learning:
The students will be able to learn how the scratch jr. app works through collaboration. Any doubts and problems will be written on the blackboard as well as in a drive document so that every student can see them and help solving the problem.
- Collaboration out of the classroom :
With a partner search, so that the project really becames collaborative and the students will stay connected with other classes or communities.
- Collaboration back to the classroom :
Once the students have collaborating for example generating their characters, they would be able to start using the logical connectors and do their programm which will become collaborative again once they share it.

Taken this into account I have illustrated a visual methaphor and create a layout using smore an online tool to generate beatufil newsletters. The illustration is cyclical as the project and collaboration will continue untill the students think they have already created the final and revised product.

This project has oppened my eyes in the way that I have been thinking a lot of how can I collaborate by using the project I created for the previous entry. When I realised how to do it, I learned that it is easier than I though, if the project if well planed, and you already bear in mind the activities you want to develop, if it doesn't happen it will become harder to deal with. I have also worked with smore which I have never worked with before, wich allows me to easily create a layout using my own design and including the things I have needed.
I hope you have enjoy it, and see you tomorrow with the partner search entry.
