TRANSLATOR

Hello everyone! I'm Molly and this week I'll be the translator. I will explain 5 key terms that summarize the way that we put our different tasks together.

Solar System: One thing that we wanted to do was make sure that each lesson followed a certain theme. We thought that the solar system would be the best for this idea. There are so many paths that we can take with this theme.

Cooperation: One thing that each group's task focuses on is a cooperation between the students. They all have to work together in order to complete the lesson. This also supports the importance of project-based learning! We believe that the students will learn the most through this method and the activities that we have created.

Accessibility: One thing that we've focused on throughout the semester is the accessibility of technology and the democratization of knowledge through technology. This week we needed to make sure that we found materials that almost any school could use, whether that be a free app or an inexpensive but durable robot. 

Experimental: Because the activity of this week is to present 3 similar activities to the ones from UDCMM, we need to be creative willing to take risks. They could not be the same as the previous ones, and we wanted them to stand out. Every subgroup worked together in order to create fresh ideas that stayed within the theme and premise of the assignment.

Evolution: As this is our last task, we have a chance to reflect on how far we've come as a group. We've matured together and were able to come up with three engaging activities. We started off as a slightly random group of people (some people knew each other, some people didn't, and two international students). Throughout the semester we've gotten to know each other quite well and we've had fun completing all of the tasks! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post!
