Module 1, Section 3, Activity 4 - Collaboration

1. Was it easy to define objectives and criteria?

I think that it is difficult because the pepole in the work teams can't coincide. I can't be online all days and the rest of my group can't wait for me and vice versa. This work is definitely the most difficult so far.


2. How did you distribute the work?

The work began whit a idea-sharing session, but at the end all participants followed a lookup table made for xabier to explain the contents.


3. How did you feel about your own particpation?

I have contributed my grain of sand in this work, but I know that I could made it better but I haven't had enough time this month.


4. How did you feel about other participation?

Some participants have had a great work but anothers are beginig yet. I supose that they have had as time as me.


5. Where there any problems, or misunderstandings?

The first problem is the time. I can be online one morning but later I don't enter untill some days. This make difficult the team building.
The second problem is that nobody was agreed then one person (Xabier) start the work whit one sample and the rest of group followed this good initiative.

My appearance

1. My fist avatar was choosen almost randomly, but I tried to change a little to convert to my desirable digital identity.

2. I don't like my t-shirt, my trousers was hideous and my look was ordinary. I decided undress me and begin whit my ideal appearance.

3. I finally found a good look. I feel very comfortable whit my avatar and I have finished my search.

First steps in Second Life

My first opinion of SL was:
bahhh¡¡ It must be like a rol game, easy¡¡
But it was my surprise when I went to edit my avatar. How change T-shirt?
I can't change my T-shit.
The teleport is complicated too, my internet conexion don't help me more, jeje.
Finally, this game is a little complicated.

A. My friend, is that in an individual class of clarinet, technical questions about on clarinet could be solved and the particular interpretation of each student, but many aspects escape to us such groups such as to comment videos or recordings of great interpreters, to comment on the present time of the used materials, to be day-to-day on the courses and concerts, etc. This talking point only can be treated by means of the communications in Internet (msn, forums, blogs, pages Web), since it would be impossible to make a collective class with all the students and also have as much material in the classroom making it.

B. For me, the tool that I have just discovered that really make me an impression is Finale, a score editor. Very important tool for the musical education that serve to digital metronome accompaniment, not only whit edited score, also whit midi files. Is a very useful tool for the music students and teachers. I would like to use this program next year in my class, but I need some hardward to do it. Some teachers of my conservatory are doing a working party to begin this project.

C. I don't think that me such as pioneer, but I think that I am a driving to my working party. The rest of teachers from my conservatory are very lag in the TIC's. A lot of teachers don't know PC, only play instrument and forgot the rest. In my opinion, this isolation can't be good, they are lagging the society.
