TRANSLATOR TASK 5

 TRANSLATOR: NATALIA


After finishing our fifth task, we have selected four different core concepts that we think they are directly related to our this week´s project. 


First, the geek component of this week will be stop motion animation because the main task is to create a stop motion while making the puzzle. In our case, the students created the stop motion by using Tik Tok so it is also an example that we can use social media for education. 

Stop motion animation is a technique where objects are photographed frame by frame as they are slightly moved between each shot. When played quickly, the images appear to move. This method can be used in digital platforms like TikTok, where users create content by manipulating objects in a sequence to form dynamic videos. It integrates technology by using digital tools and apps for creating and editing content, enhancing creativity and engaging students with digital media.

The second concept is about the pedagogical aspect in which I have selected: Project based learning that can be describe as an instructional approach where students engage in real world challenges, promoting problem-solving and collaboration. It encourages active learning through projects that require students to apply knowledge in practical scenarios. This method aligns with the activity as students combine academic learning with digital tools, fostering both cognitive and practical skills. PBL enhaces critical thinking and collaboration, essential for modern education.

An finally, the two concepts that I have selected which are focused on theoretical framwork are: digital literacy and cultural awareness.


Digital literacy is described as the ability to use digital tools and platforms effectively, including searching, analyzing, and creating content. In education, it’s crucial for students to develop digital literacy to engage with technology, such as stop motion apps or social media platforms like TikTok, enhancing both learning and communication skills. It empowers students to be informed, responsible digital citizens.

Cultural awareness involves understanding and appreciating different cultural perspectives and practices. In education, it helps students engage with diverse content, such as global landmarks or history, and fosters empathy. Through activities like ours students learn to connect with cultures beyond their own, enriching their worldview and communication skills. It enhances both learning and personal development.
