Hello
everyone! I’m Elena Sánchez and this week I’m the journalist of Keep Calm and
Keep Organized. My role consists of transmitting you how has been our work this
week, so let’s do it!
-Tuesday 3rd
First we
decided to use infographic instead of a comic because it was a new program for
us and we wanted to know how to use it and discover new resources for our
future as teachers.
So, as we
hadn’t worked with infographic before, it was a hard challenge for us. We
looked for a program to make it and we found piktochart, we liked it so we
created an account to use it correctly.
We thought
that would be a great idea to use Darth Vader’s character to present our work
because of the sentence “The dark side of textbooks”. And we thought it would
be funny and it would catch the attention of the rest of students too.
So that day
we started making the infographic, searching pictures with creative commons and
reading the articles of the “aula virtual” that were about the disadvantages of
textbooks.
-Wednesday 4th
We
continued reading the rest of the articles about textbooks and looking for more
information on the internet. Then we wrote on the blackboard the main ideas we
wanted to include in the infographic and we started designing how it would be.
We thought
it would be really funny if Holly, our star this week, represented Darth Vader’s character with a mask, with some
of his famous sentences and of course with the characteristic music of the film
“Star wars”.
Some of us
met and added all the ideas in the infographic and decorated it. We worked hard
and it took us several hours because as I had said before, it was a new program
for us and we didn’t know how to use it, so while we were working with it, we
were learning how it works.
I would
like to add that it has been a really good discovery because it is a great way
to make beautiful and original works and when you learn how to use it, it is
very easy.
On Friday,
Holly bought the mask, downloaded the music and searched some sentences of the
film.
Finally
that day we sent the infographic to the rest of the group and we asked them if
it was correctly done.
-Saturday 7th
We changed
some elements of the infographic and added others. In the end, we corrected
some mistakes in the grammar. And incredibly our infographic was finished!
-Sunday 8th
We went to
a specialized copy shop and we printed it in A2 size. (Yes, unbelievably that
copy shop open on Sundays).
-Monday 9th
At last
Monday arrived!
We pasted
the infographic on the wall and Holly stayed next to it, answering the
classmates’ questions, while the rest of the group were looking at the other
works and writing some notes about them.
I hope you
enjoyed this experience as much as we did guys!
BLOGS:
This blog
is about the disadvantages of textbooks, I want to recommend it to you because
it is very critical and clear, the author uses a direct language so you can
understand him easily.
It is a
good blog because shows us the reality of textbooks at school and how they affect
in children academic development.

I want to
recommend you too this week the blog of my classmates Powerteachers. I really
like how it is decorated. It’s very original, you can find there a picture
explaining teacher’s abilities and interesting quotes about teachers of famous
people. It has information about the
components of the group too and the first that you see when you open it, it’s
an introduction so from my point of view it is a really complete blog that
shows us how hard they work.
Good bye!
It was a pleasure to show you a little more about Keep calm and keep organized’s
work one more time! (:
