Don't you understand the meaning of a word? Don't worry! The translator is here!!

Hi followers! I'm María García and this week I've been the TRANSLATOR! Maybe to many people think that this role can be bored and not very interesting but it is important to show the main vocabulary that we have used for this activity. So, I hope you understand all the words and it can be useful for you!

SLIDE-SHOWS FOR TASK 3

Hi bloggers! This is the work we have had to do this week for Task 3. To plan each slide-show we did a storyboard for each one of them, which you can find above each slide-show.

The first slide-show is about Creative Commons License and about different tips to do a good oral and visual presentation. Below you can find the storyboard and the slide-show.

The second slide-show had to be about something related to the Spanish academic curriculum. We have done it about the different climates you can find both in Earth and in Spain. This are the storyboard and the slide-show:

We hope you like them!

Explaining terms!

Hi! I'm Anthea and this week I've been the translator. I've had to choose five terms and explain them by using my own words.

Projection map

It is a representation of the Earth (its continents, oceans, seas...), which is represented in a way or another, depending on the purpose of the projection and its author. This is clearly explained in the work we have had to do, in which we had to talk about three map projections: Robinson, Mercator and Azimuthal.

Treasure hunt

There are some question that have to be solved. And to finish the activity there is a more complex question that can be replied by knowing the other ones' answers.

Depending on the age and level of the students, it will be easier or more difficult.

Distortion

Distort is to give something a shape or approach it doesn't have. In this project, it means that the map projections we have worked with weren't well represented in some parts (depending on the projection), so they were altered. Although it doesn't appear only in maps, but also in media.

Media

In the media we can find everything we use to communicate among us. In adittion, there are some types, each one with a purpose: broadcast media, which transmit information through the Internet; print media, which distribute the information; outdoor media for adverts; digital media, which includes Internet and mobile mass communication.

Cartography

Cartography is the production of maps, in which it is included the map projections.
