Hello boys and girls! Congratulations for finishing primary school and welcome to intermediate!

The human was created to go through changes and challenges, and the first one already arrived, sea of learning, but don’t worry, your teachers will speak of that in the future.

But one really important thing you need to know is how to give and receive feedback.

But first, what is feedback? Feedback is helpful information given to someone to indicate what can be done to improve something.

We use the ladder of feedback, and the first thing is the clarify stage, where we ask questions to help you understand fully.
Then the value part, where you express what you like giving detailed examples. For example you can say: I really like …… because ……. Then the state concerns, where you kindly express your concerns. For example, you can say: I wonder if……, It seems to me. And finally the suggestion step, where you make suggestions for improvement, some vocabulary you can use is: “maybe you could”, what if…

When I started secondary, Organization was very hard for me, what helped me was thinking things from a different point of view. My advice is try to find everything you do in DIVES fun and enjoy it, it'll make the task much easier.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice on organization is to create a excel with all the information regarding the timetables of your clases and to complete the assignments as soon as possible to not end up doing it last minute.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice is to know what you have in the next period and take what you need and not all the books or folders, the lockers are the best way to be organized.

At first, I found it difficult to work in groups, but then I realized that it was way easier if you use this simple trick. Basically, divide the tasks between group members, and help each other out if one of you gets stuck, as you are still a group. Wish you luck in 2022!

# data[].attributes.body
My advice is to write all the homework you have to do

# data[].attributes.body
My advice is that before starting any presentation for a project you should create a document and there put all the information you researched and that will make your project much easier since you only have to transfer the information to the slides.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for giving or recieving feedback is to always listen carefully to the person that you will give feedback to or will recieve feedback. This way you know what you need to improve or help another person improve.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, it was a little difficult the part of organization. My advice would be that you organize yourself by doing the things in the moment and not leaving them for later because then you found a pile of work you didn't do. A little tip for doing this is to try having fun doing it, for example, turn the work into a game so that the time passes faster and you don't get so bored doing it.

# data[].attributes.body
Probably, the most difficult part is Investigation and research. My advice is to look through all links and sites possible, since is better to have more than less information. This advice is because I had the problem to look for information al last minute, which is not always the best.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started year 7 I wasn't very organized. What I started doing was a time table with all the work I didn't do and see when it was due, to know what I should do first. Also I used felx time to finish work, so I wasn't behind.

# data[].attributes.body
When i started middle school organization was very hard. I solved it making a list of all the assigments I have to complete. After that it was easy to me to know what assigment do.

# data[].attributes.body
A great advice to organize is to plan ahead. For example: in a genius hour, think what you're gonna do before you're gonna do it, and then do it.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for investigation, is search deeply in websites and YouTube as sometimes websites can give you different information about the topic than other website. Try to find official websites you can trust they will give you the correct information about the topic you are searching for.

# data[].attributes.body
Tips about investigation & research:
- Don’t believe every thing you read or watch on the internet, use critical thinking.
- Use safe pages or books to find your information.
- Don’t relay always on Wikipedia.
- Organize your time, dont leave all the research to the last minute because it takes a lot of time.
- Make a document part form the final presentation with all the information and links you find.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice is to put reminders in you're phone so you organize and do the homework

# data[].attributes.body
Organization
The organization part was really hard for me. But then I started to do a to-do list, which helped me a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
While I was doing my DIVES, one of the most challenging skills I had to take into account was working in groups. The issue was that most of the times the majority would not collaborate and would just sit around or play with other members of the team which did not help at all. But then when we began separating each other and doing individual tasks, everyone was working and there were not as many distractions as before.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this skill challenging because there were some sites that they could be giving false information and you had to go on another site that had to give true information.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started this year, it was hard to organize my homework because it was all new for me. My advice for the organization is to organize a list with how many things you will do each day, for example: if you need to do 10 assignments, organize them in each day you have free to do homework.

Organization and Time Management Part 2: Make a to-do list!

# data[].attributes.body
In all our Sea of Learning works we had feedback and sometimes is difficult to receive or send feedback. So my advice is to listen carfelluy the feedback that is given to you and take it into acount, when you send the feedback my advice is to mean what your saying.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice is hen you give feedback is to not sugar coat it too much as feedback isn't meant to just compliment someone, but to also help them improve and grow. You of course can sugar coat it, but no too much.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started secondaty I also just changed school from one that didn't ask you to give feedback al the time. So I wasn't the best at marking the best things and I mostly tell bad things about other people presentation but when time passed I becomed better to give a better and more complet feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice of investigating and researching is that you have to deepen in your search because if you only look in one site it would be not very useful. And you can understand better what you where searching.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the things more challenging for me was mesure my time because they said me the time and I had to be masuring it all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice is to get information from youtube videos, Wikipedia and other sites. And not just one source.

Feedback (how to take it and give it). Emilia Arduca

For me feedback is something very important that has a very important value in our work. When submitting or presenting a work, it is very important to have a correction of our work, so we can know what to change and what to leave. I like people to tell me what they like and what they don't, so in my job, I improve what I have done. It is very important in terms of giving feedback, being honest and not just saying good things because they are our friends.

ADVICE
I started by thinking in all the criteria of the work, looking if it has all the requirements. It didn't matter if their where my friends, I was super honest about It.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice for reciving feedback is not to think the negative parts like if you said something wrong or etc, always think in the positive like if somebody is giving feedback to you, he is trying to help you. If you think in the positive the bad feedbacks won´t hurt you.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice on organization is to take down notes on every subject because later on, you will need to remember everything that you have learned.

# data[].attributes.body
for me it is very important to do the tasks quickly before having more and that they fit you

# data[].attributes.body
I would advice other years that starting a project, organize your time and if you are working with your group, also make roles on the group. Write down in a google doc what did you do today and what is your goal for the next class.

# data[].attributes.body
It was difficult to work sometimes as groups if you felt like the group didn't work all that much. I realized if you talk to them and explain, it's better for them and yourself as the group's performance is greater. Always be open to hear new ideas too.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice is for you to take to all the clases only what is necesary , create a planilla with your timetable and look at it everyday before school so youdont bring everything and you just bring the necesary things.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very important in my opinion to make a strong investigation with strong sources and not just search it in wikipedia. A way to record all the ideas from the research are to write them. Then you can use the info in your project and do something new and creative.

It wasnt easy for me to organize in the begginig, if I have to be honest, but my adivice is to have your own agenda, thats a great way to organize. Also, divide your homework in days, ex: if you have 8 assignments, separate them in 2 days. This is a great way for us to de everything without stressing out.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice on research and investigation is to always look for different recourses of information and not to always believe in everything you see in the internet, use safe sights and always put the link where you took your information from, if not it's going to be considered plagiarism. Don't copy paste, I recommend for you to create a document and paste all the information you collected and then use your own words to rewrite it and use that for your final work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that feed back is very important because it help us to reflect on our work and learn to be every day better. Something I founded challenging this year about feed back is to accept what people tell me because I always think I have the reason and that no one can tell me what I did wrong. Now that I am in the end of the year, I see that I learned a lot and improve this, and now I can read feed back understand it and learn about it.

# data[].attributes.body
To plan beforehand, as if you dive into a project blind, then it won't turn out so well. You should do an in depth investigation first, then brainstorm and choose what you find to be the best, thirdly, design a prototype, resolve the problems and/or improve the prototype, and finally the final project. When doing these you should organize you should separate it into steps, by setting goals/deadlines for each class.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started secondary I wasn't very good at being organized. But the most important part is to do things that could help you organize better, like doing a timetable with the things you have each day could help you organize better, having a book/schedule to mark what you have each day like tests or homework, and adding post it to remember things.

# data[].attributes.body
Be sure to write all tests and homeworl

# data[].attributes.body
Use your time very wisley, because sometimes we do a very large proyect with a lot of process in it, so if you leave it for the last class or day, you aren't going to finish it with a well developed result. You can use an agenda to be more organized.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the most difficult part of any project in sea of learning is Investigation. My advice to y6 ( next year y7 students ) is to don't close only on Wikipedia and look for other resources like books or newspapers to have very good information and not only wikipedia one.

# data[].attributes.body
Be sure to know when there are test and when you have turn in a task

My advice is too have a folder dived by subjects were you can keep all the pages tied and need. Also have a space ones a week then of school to keep in track and make it organized.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice:
My advice would be to take your time and give all of yourself. That will help a lot in the organization and in the competencies. Also, if you get the chance to do an assignment of your choice like "Genius Hour" (this year), choose something that you really would like to investigate. Don't copy-paste use your words and include credits with links etc.

Feedback:
The feedback is given and received, to give feedback you should use the ladder of feedback which shows all the steps. When you receive feedback you should receive it in a nice way and take it into account for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
These are some tips I used in sea of learning in collaboration:

-To set role

Sometimes, working in a group can be disorganized. When setting roles, the work can be done.

-Organize your time

It is useful to have an agenda or know what to do before the class starts.

-Treat you peers with respect

When you are in a group try to form a good environment. When you have a good relationship you work better.

# data[].attributes.body
My recommendation is to have a folder were you can keep the pages also dived by subjects. Soothing that was really help-full was having a hour per week were i could completed and keep track.

# data[].attributes.body
Group work/Collaboration

At sea of learning something that has been really useful for me was knowing new people because I was new in the school and with the quarantine it was way more difficult to know people.

I managed to overcome my difficultes by realising that highschool was much more difficult than primary and that I had to start working harder.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not so organized but I write what the teacher says so as not to forget me and the homework that she also puts because otherwise I don't remember.

# data[].attributes.body
Things to take into account when working in a group:

Organize

The first thing I would recommend when working in a group. Is that you organize properly. For this, you can distribute roles and tasks and also, organize your time by indicating what your group should be working on, in each period of time.

Distribute roles and tasks

As I mentioned before, to organize better you can define roles and distribute tasks depending on everyone’s skills. For example, if there is a person in your group that is really creative and good at decorating things, you can give that person, a task that addapst to their abilities.

Use time wisely

My last advice is that you manage time wisely. This will help you focus on important tasks by keeping them in the highest priority so that you can finish them and move on.

# data[].attributes.body
PRESENTATIONS

Reflect on what would have been really useful for you, share your ideas of how you managed to overcome the challenges, or ways in which you learnt to improve in this skill by either:Something that helped me a lot was learning how to make presentations that we use a lot during the year and it also helped me a lot for other subjects, so I recommend that you learn to make presentations that will serve you a lot.

Vocaroo is a quick and easy way to share voice messages over the interwebs.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice is that they have to take the matter of sea of learning seriously because they may think that it is not useful but the reality is that it is useful for competentions and other things.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the things that I learned through Sea of learning it how to organize my time wisely and divide what I have to do in different days. Something that really helped me was to actually use the time you're given in class. Once you realize that you get handed more than enough time to do your assignments in, you actually take advantage of it, so you don't do it at home. Another tip is to create a routine, for example, on Wednesdays and Thursdays I study.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started secondary, giving feedback to people became really difficult. Because, when I was giving my feedback to them, they maybe got mad because they didn´t want to accept what I was saying. So one advice that I would give you is to say things with kindness. As well, You have consider the good things of your partner work. So give to your friends positive feedback too.

# data[].attributes.body
If you Don’t organise your works in the exams you are going to hab a bad note so the moral here is to organize your things

# data[].attributes.body
I recomend to always be organized with work, study, and personal things so that you dont run out of time
