Week 9, blogpost by the translator - Louise

Hi everyone! 

This week I (Louise) was the translator of "Ladies & Gentlemen". I have collect the five most important terms we have learnt during this week. 

• Teacher-student connection: The relationships between the pupils and the teacher. The teacher need to have a positive and responsive knowledge. The teacher need to be aware of the student knowledge, experience, expectations and values to make sure the student will feel encourage to learn.

• Connection with Peers: Connectivist learning theory is knowledge develops through relationships and connections. The social aspects with peers have a strong influence on students. 

• Connections within the learning context: The teacher aims are to control and develop the learning environment so that pupils are behaving and learning in the way that they believe to be effective. If pupils believe that their beliefs or efforts are not respected by the teacher, the connection between the teacher and the students will be weakened and this will have a negative impact on the learning environment.

• Connections beyond the classroom: Connections beyond the classroom refers stresses the options new communication  technologies give us to teach from a distance. Today we have many different ways to take contact and even teach without having to be physically present.

• Connection within learning Learning is based on connections and the relation of different concepts you have learned in order to get a new one. All the concepts you have learned over time are all interconnected and form the basis to learn something new. 

Last week we didn't have a good week but this week have been much better so now we are back on the right track again! This week we have not had to met as much as we have done the other weeks but I think we have distributed the work well and everyone did their job very good.

The funniest thing according to me was that we were working together with other groups in the class on presentation day. We filmed a movie that would be 3 minutes long. Each group was given responsibility of one part: The parts is teacher-student connection, Connection with peers, Connections beyound the classroom, connections within the learning and connections within learning. We could`t see everyone's films, so we're going to do that on Monday and I'm looking forward to it!
