TASK 3. "TACCLE ACTIVITY" - ANALYST
• What was the best part of the activity?
The best part in this task in my opinion has been to collaborate all together in our post on volcanoes on Wikipedia and in the drawings we have drawn to illustrate it, which have ended up being very good and we are very proud of the final result. Our task as a cross-curricular activity has had to relate contents of two different subjects and we develop all our imagination and creativity.
• What was the worse?
We liked the task very much and we enjoyed doing it so we did not find anything wrong in it but maybe something negative is that it was a very laborious task where we had to do many things even if all the participants of the group were collaborating. We have made the presentation in motion with Canva, the Wiki with information taken from different websites and videos of Youtube and drawings made by ourselves. The information of the Wikipedia post also had to be summarized and adapted a little for children as otherwise it would become too long and scientific for them.
• What was the best moment of the week (in the work of the group)?
During the week many funny moments have passed and because we are friends we have fun doing the task and we find them very interesting. During the week we have worked a lot on this task and we have all had very good ideas and we have been helping each other. Although we are friends, when we are working we are very professional and organized and we take our work very seriously.
• What have you learnt?
We have learned how to make good presentations, how to make a wikipedia for children, we have drawn volcanoes, we have learned the importance of ICTs…
• What do you need to conserve -as a group- for the next few weeks?
For the next few weeks I hope that my group and I will work as before as we are already more familiar with the tasks of this subject and we organize ourselves very well. I have very high expectations in my group as I think we can give even more than we are giving and for the last task I am sure we will do all the almost perfect tasks. I think you have to have high expectations for our performance to be better every time as the Pygmalion effect says.
I want to keep that motivation and desire to learn that we have so far and I think that thanks to the feedbacks of the teacher and our work we will continue like this.
• What do you need to improve –as a group- for the next few weeks?
Few things I think can be improved even though I am being as thoughtful and self-critical as I can. For the next task maybe we should distribute a little better the work that each one does although in all projects at the end there is always someone who works a little more.
• How THIS content is related to other contents in the course and in your degree?
The activity that we have developed in particular we believe is very useful because to develop creativity and to look for other ways of teaching the knowledge to the students is a great thing. Technology and ways of educating and teaching evolve very quickly and probably when we work this type of activity will be a little obsolete but it is always a good thing to learn to manipulate knowledge and know that there are many original tools on the internet for teaching the information in a different way.
• There is any evident social connection of this content (news, politics, etc.)?
It is a very interesting article on how art can go hand in hand with science in the university setting and this has to do with our task since the activity we have developed combines science, art and was in English, even if not evaluated, skills such as oral and written expression in this foreign language are improved.

This is another article that has called our attention of the Institute for the Future of Education in which it is explained that: "The integration of art in science allows us to understand and explain phenomena that are everyday but that we cannot see with the naked eye, strengthening the capacity to establish analogies with known situations and develop the construction of arguments."
