Week 7 - TRANSLATOR

Hi, I am Álvaro Leal Fernández and this week I am the translator. This roleconsists of defining five concepts that we have used in the assignment and that are related to the subject. I have chosen this five terms: Podcast, Computational Thinking, Coding, Ivoox, Super Sound.

-Podcast: radio or television broadcast that anyone can listen to, with a prior subscription, on any electronic platform. There are specific applications where you can find them (Stereo, Ivoox).

-Computational thinking: starting from a complex problem allows us to understand the reality of the problem and to look for solutions so that both a computer and a person are able to understand them. Computational thinking includes problem solving, system design and understanding human behaviour.

-Coding: the process used to devise and structure all aspects necessary to realise a project. The purpose of programming is to functionally develop a programme available on computers.

-Ivoox: application that provides a space where we can publish, listen, share and download audios. Here we can find groups of listeners and learn about other topics of interest through the audio channel. This application is also the one we use to publish our radio programme.

-Super Sound: music editor with numerous functions such as audio trimming, voice conversion, etc. This application is only for Android and was the one we used to put together all the audios we previously recorded.

In my opinion, the weakness of the task was to find the games that we could use, because although the web page (Hour of Code) was well structured, many of the games either had no explanation or did not allow us to play, which meant a lot of time was wasted.

In order for this website to be used in the educational process, the steps to be followed must be well detailed and specify what is to be worked on, because if you enter the website without any guidelines to follow, you will most likely not know how to use it.
