Journalist - Week 3 -

Hello! I am Ana and this week I am in charge of the journalist role.

This week the work has been about cartographic projections. In the first place, we started looking for all the necessary information to complete the charter that were asked in the task and the questions that were suggested, each member of the group was in charge of searching different questions. In our second meeting, we decided how to present the task, finally we made a Prezi presentation.

On Wednesday, each group presented their task.. In this task, all the groups made a Prezi presentation. And the information presented was similar, each group explained the map projections of Robinson's, Azimuthal’s, and Mercator's, explaining his purpose, distortions, problems, and socio-cultural implications of using it as a learning resource. Then they chose two countries and explained the distortions in the map within of different projections. Also, the groups decided which projection is better from their point of view. Other part of the task consists in search a Treasure Hunt in which the students learn doing activities and challenges. The groups explained how media distorts the reality, moreover explained the relationship between media and this task.
