Rediseño el pueblo

The study area for this educational activity is the urban environment in which the students live, particularly focusing on their own neighborhoods and streets. The students are encouraged to understand and analyze their immediate surroundings, from the area outside their homes to the organization of services within their town. This localized approach allows them to connect with their urban environment on a personal level and identify areas that could benefit from improvements. The study area is not limited to a specific city or town but encompasses the students’ own neighborhoods and the common elements and spaces within them.

• Image editing with the free software GIMP, we will always work in the computer room, each student has his machine.
• A first phase of individual work, and a second in a group.
• Sharing in the classroom of ideas that we can apply for these improvements, distribution of these interventions in the different neighborhoods.
• Carry out a project to show the improvements of the neighborhood that we have considered appropriate.
• Presentation in the classroom of these projects, using an audiovisual presentation to support their exhibition.
• Conclusion and reflection.

The type of collaborative experience in this educational activity is primarily project-based collaboration. Students work together in groups and as individuals to study and improve their urban environment. Here’s how the collaboration is structured:

• Individual Work: In the initial phases of the project, students work individually. They take photos of their streets, learn image editing techniques, and make initial observations.
• Group Work: Later, students collaborate in small groups, typically consisting of 3 or 4 students. They brainstorm ideas for improvements and interventions in their neighborhoods and share these ideas within their groups.
• Classroom Collaboration: The whole class comes together to share and coordinate ideas for neighborhood improvements. This collaborative discussion helps students see the bigger picture and consider interventions at the town level.
• Presentation Teams: Students work collaboratively to create presentation projects, such as edited streets, posters, and maps of interventions. This involves teamwork to compile and present their proposed improvements to the class.

Throughout the activity, students engage in collaborative learning by sharing their ideas, coordinating their efforts, and collectively working toward the goal of understanding and enhancing their urban environment. This type of project-based collaboration fosters teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills among the students.

The learning experience described is primarily carried out within a school or educational institution, specifically within the context of 3rd Compulsory Secondary Education. Here are the key locations where the learning experience takes place:

• Classroom: Most of the learning activities, including discussions, presentations, and collaborative work, are likely to occur in a dedicated classroom or computer room within the school.
• Computer Room: Image editing and related computer-based activities are conducted in a computer room where each student has access to their own machine and the necessary software, like GIMP.
• Neighborhoods and Streets: While not explicitly mentioned, students are expected to engage with their immediate urban environment, which includes their neighborhoods and streets. They take photos of their streets and consider improvements within these areas as part of the project.
• Presentation Space: The final presentations of the neighborhood improvement projects are likely carried out in a presentation space within the school, such as an auditorium or a classroom where audiovisual equipment is available.

Overall, the learning experience blends classroom-based activities with practical, real-world engagement in the students’ urban environment, emphasizing hands-on learning and application of knowledge.
