TASK 8 - SCHOOL ORGANIZED AND SCHOOLS THAT LEARN

Hi guys! I'm Maria, the translator of the LAST week (yes, the last, unfortunately).
These are the concepts that we have chosen for this task. I hope to write again on this blog in a future!

It's has been a pleasure for me :')

Team teaching: involves a group of teachers with the purpose of working cooperatively to help a group of students of any age learn. Teachers together set goals for a course, design a syllabus, prepare individual lesson plans, teach students, and evaluate the results. Also, it allows for more interaction between teachers and students.

TASK 7- LEADERSHIP STYLES

Hi everybody! I'm Mari Carmen, the translator of the Fluffy Guardians this week!
In this task, we have learned 4 types of leaderships. 
These are the five key words that I have chosen:

Leader: It is a person or group that guide, control or influence people to obtain a goal. The leader goes first and leads so that others are motivated to follow him/her. A leader can act in many ways and some of them are: Authoritarian, transactional, participative or transformational.

http://www.vtaide.com/gleanings/leader.htm


Authoritarian leader: An authoritarian leader makes decisions and establishes norms without consulting the others opinion. This kind of leader is insensitive, racist and he thinks that he must force people to work and be productive.

Transactional leader: A transactional leader motivates workers by offering rewards so for them it's easier to do what leaders want. This model can have two different dimensions: ideographic that consists on the needs of the individuals and the nomothetic that are the goals of the organization. Transactional leadership reflects the reality of the workplace and it's the predominant model in most organizations, including public schools.


Participative leader: A participative leader leads to communication about goals, respect for diversity and a collective effort to get good results. This leader wants that people participate in the organization or establishing norms and rules. This collaborative process creates a good environment to work and respect for the rest of people.


Transformational leader: A transformational leader wants to have people motivated to be productive. They lead with love and morality, respecting everybody. This kind of leadership doesn't want to set up rules but to agree with the rest of the people to do the proper things. The most powerful leaders in history are not remembered for their positions or for their wealth, but for their unconditional love for others.

TASK 3- FREE RESOURCES AND VISUAL PRESENTATIONS 


  • FOOD CHAINIt shows series of living things in which each one uses the next lower member of the series as a source of food and energy in a particular environment or habitat. It is formed by producers (plants), consumers (animals), and decomposers (fungus and bacteria).
http://www.edinformatics.com/math_science/what_is_the_food_chain.htm



An example of the food chain's process



  • HERBIVORES: organisms that are adapted to eating plant material. Some herbivores only consume part of the plant, such as the fruit, leaves, nectar, seeds, or bark. Other herbivores consume multiple plant components.They digest the carbohydrates produced by the plant.

  • CARNIVORES: organisms that obtain their energy and nutrients killing and eating other animalsCarnivores can eat herbivores, omnivores, and occasionally other carnivores.

  • OMNIVORES: organisms that obtain energy and nutrients from a variety of food sources that include plants, animals, algae, fungi, and bacteria. Unlike herbivores, omnivores can't digest some of the substances in grains or other plants that do not produce fruit. Some of the insect omnivores are pollinators, which are very important to the life cycle of some kinds of plants.

TASK 2- TREASURE HUNT: CARTOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS


  • MAP PROJECTION: Is the technique to represent on a flat map, the Earth's curved shape. The Earth surface is put into a plane 2 dimensional image for a better understanding of it.
Example of a map projection where the reference surface with geographic coordinates (f,l) is projected onto the 2D mapping plane with 2D Cartesian coordinates (x, y).

http://kartoweb.itc.nl/geometrics/map%20projections/mappro.html


  • ROBINSON'S MAP PROJECTION: Robinson, the creator of this map projection, called this the orthophanic projection (which means "right appearing"). It was specifically created in an attempt to find a good compromise to the problem of readily showing the whole globe as a flat image. The Earth is shown in a flattened ellipse. In this projection, both poles are distorted.



http://www.geography.wisc.edu/maplib/robinson_projection.php
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_projection
 http://www.enchantedlearning.com/geography/glossary/projections.shtml




    • MERCATOR'S MAP PROJECTION: It was created in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator to be useful to navigators. Rhumb lines (Lines of constant compass heading) are straight lines on this map. It's shape is cylindrical.This projection exaggerates areas far from the equator, the scale increases while you move far the equator.





    • AZIMUTHAL'S MAP PROJECTION: The spherical shape of the Earth is projected onto a flat plane, this is why it's  also called a plane projection. The poles are the "normal aspect" (the viewpoint or perspective). That is, the plane is normally placed above the north or south pole. Normally just only one hemisphere is showed.

    • TREASURE HUNT: It is a game in which a person or a team try to be the first to find the answer to a given activity, using some clues. Nowadays, treasure hunts are commonly used for educational purposes, including the Internet.

    • CONTENT KNOWLEDGE: knowledge that the teacher must have and understand from their subject matter. For example a teacher of maths should know algebra and trigonometry among many other contents.
    •    
    • TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE: It is related to which technology can use the teacher in class to make the contents more accesible to the students, for example with computers, digital boards or Google Drive.
