Power Point. Coexistence in the class, conflicts and solutions.

Futupasta. Our ideal school.

In this exhibition, my companions explain all ideas about your ideal school. Ideas such as inclusion, or the importance of the community of teachers. In this community, there is a relationship between parents and teachers that everyone should join. In their ideal school project, there is a place of meetings, to share questions, ideas and opinions. There would go after classes.
 They also spoke of the students to share time between them, regardless of the age. They made mention of the themes that explained the other group, but adding the autonomy of students as an objective, the importance of a flexible curriculum that adapts to the individual needs of each student, and group.

 Liked me who used the Futurama series to introduce this project, because they make a game with the name of the Group and the video of the work, as we did with pray; This also is the work that carries select fragments, choose the chapters, and make a script that fits with the video and that include the ideas of the ideal school. Also the song on the inclusion they did, despite the low volume.

Our ideal school. Roll kids.

 They made a kind of magazine in Which They Explained all the thoughts about the perfect school, and They put more attention in the integration and diversity. They Talked about the role of the teacher That I have to be scaffolding not the main character of the learning. The other part of Their video was a really interesting tale. This was the best part of the task Because the other part was a little bit boring. The tale was one death acerca That boy has the dream of Being in a "normal" school in Which I Could learn and enjoy with other mates. This tale ends With His inclusion and one Important point to make this possible is to break the barriers.

They Also introduces us the teacher's community, what is Important to make a really good school, This concept is really interesting and is connected With That one of the articles we read to make the perfect school.

I like a lot the tale Because it was really entertaining, but I would talk less about the magazine. The thought was really creative and different Comparing to the rest of the group, but They Should make the work more cooperative.
 I think this group use a original form to transmit the idea of the ideal school.

Escuela de Bocación. Ideal school.

The video was a lot creative and interesting, they did everything with love and magic With That and I think all of us enjoy a lot seeing this video. The video starts Criticizing the relation between teachers and students, each student learn in one way, so is Important to adapt the method for each student with the multiple intelligences. The school has to developing the autonomy of the students and their creativity; they Have To have easy goals That They can get.

 Another Important Point Is That the school is a community of learning in which students, teachers and parents have to "row" to the same direction. But for doing this, the teachers Have to tave vocation. I really like everything of this video Because of the type of video they did, really beautiful tale shadows. The way in Which They Explained everything was as a story and They Made as feel the magic tale's.

 This video was my favorit, because they explain very good the idea of the project.  The idea of a tale was very original and beautiful, and they do the better video, in my opinion. 

Ideal School. Riggatonis.

This group did a good job a video, video split into two contradictory, in the first one it was kind ANU School and call for a few parents, teachers and a group of students. School calendar has bathroom where parents and teachers can share messages or parents can see child labor. What exchange Fathers which school they want more after-school and less homework activities, because the students to work in class and some of them had some lessons after class, and when to do homework, they are really tired And they need additional time.
 In another part of the video, they tell us to story Traveling from even the future Like the movie "Came for the Future". The basis of his school were perfect: dynamic classes with technology, having fun Learning Studies based aircraft and teachers have to know all their students know well and content. What I liked in this project is the story it is about while traveling Weather, because it is a very creative way to view ideas their. Another important thing in this project is a lot to do to enjoy the video and they made fun stuff.
 They show us Its construction also in the video game "The Sims" creative and very WAS. What I like about this project is the story in travelling about although time, because it is a form very creative to see their ideas. Another important thing in your project is you will enjoy much to make the video and made things funny. They show us their construction also in the video game "The Sims" and it was very creative.

THE IDEAL SCHOOL. The differents.

First of all in the video, they talk about a review of what is wrong at school. My classmates, said that teachers do not motivate children, something that is essential to them, and to obtain good results at school. And teachers do not believe in the children's capabilities. They put some examples in which students strolled ' t integration. They explained that society must change and the school has to adapt to this change.
 Second, he explained the distribution of school and classes. They explained that the classes have a distribution of peak in which the teacher must be in contact with the students and he or she has to be scaffolding to students. Also added green spaces where students can spend time at their school. In the last part that show us a lesson PE ideal in which students were the main characters of the learning and the teacher has the same importance that students.

 We show much, well known song to teach the different parts of the human body and which have linked this with the musical intelligence of the theory of Gardner. This video was really creative. I think they had good ideas, which explains the distribution of the school as the same time drawing and was so easy to follow.
 It was fun and enjoyable and I think that it caught our attention very well. What I liked most was the final part, because if we think about it, we can get more ideas than a practical lesson in common and it was fun, showing that they are a cooperative group.

Cooperative learning. Futupasta.

 In this presentation, the group Futupasta talks about teams-game torunament is competitive, and this isn´t a characteristic of cooperative learning, because it dosen´t develop the colaborate and cooperative values. But it isn´t necessary to remove this type of activites. In stead of this, we can change some little things of the activities, for example, we can change the points for a common present, no only for the group is wining. We must to reward the real learning and the real good behaviour with the schoolmate. In this case, we transform a competitive activity in to a cooperative activity. It´s neceassary that the teacher motivated the students, and imrpove their self-steeme. Other important point its that the teacher must show to the student the importance of colaborated and cooperatived with the other people, it´s so important that the children know the important of all, and that all are necessary to improve. For this, it´s importat to respect and keep in mind all the ideas of the partners, and help to the others.
 In addition, this group talks about teams assisted individualization, a methology of cooperative learning that makes the individual work with a work in group. This meaning that each student of the group has a indvidual plan and objectives, but at the same time, all the members of the group have the same topic, with a common plan of the group, and put in common the objectives.
 Other technique that Futupasta explain is the investigation groups. This consist in choose one topic and search information about it. Next, they do a summarize and a presentation for explain to their partners. This technique it´s so similar to work with projects.
 In other way, they showed the theory of multiple intelligences, of Gadner. Whose said that all of us have more than one intelligence develop, and in the school is necessary that we improve this inteligences. Some examples of this intelligences are: linguistic, mathematics, spacial, musical... In relationship with this, it´s important that the children works in the school their habilities and capacities, and their intelligences. Besides, it´s important the role of the teacher, it said, the teacher must be only the guide, and the children are making their knowledge.

Presentations about Ideal School - Second Part

In this part I will write my opinions about the videos that I watched in class.
  The first group, presented that day was Rigatoni's Angels. They tried to explain their ideal school in many diffrent ways. Some parts of the videos were unrealistic and very funny because they showed some traditional teachers in present day and those teachers went to future to see and adapt the new and better education system. In the other part they put an interview which is done by Maria. She asked questions to teachers, parents and to students, showing us three diffrent perspectives which was great. In the video according to my overall opinion they failed to explain all the ideas that we were supposed to mention and it was a little bit long. But still I enjoyed it a lot.
  Secondly Escuela de Bocacion presented their video. It was amazing and my favourite of all times.They used figures made of paper to explain a child's very moving story about having problems at school. I did not really get the last part but it did not ruin anything it was also creative. One thing that impressed me most was that they enjoyed doing thier work as a group and worked very hard. They all were in a perfect harmony , which was the main pint of working as a group.
   Lastly Los Rolkids presented. Their video was different and unsual. I lkie the way they presented it. It was quite formal and like a magazine. They also gave us a copy of their work which made it easier to follow and take notes because the presentation was so long. The idea to print is very useful i think beecause it might be the only way to make such a long video memorable. They had some more information other than all the groups mentioned. The work they have done deserves good marks I thinks because it was very broad. My favourite part of thier work was the video aboud students with disabilities.

Presentations about Ideal School - First Part
   Although I was not in the class when the first two presentations took place, I am writing about them now.
   The first video belonged to Futupasta. They used episodes from the cartoon Futurama to explain their ideas, changing the voices into thier own. In the video, characters go to past to see the education system and to future to see the develpoments. They included all the main ideas like cooperative learning, putting what is learned into practice and inclusion. I like the video because it was very realistic and the part they talked about the school building was my favourite. I also find their language very clear to understand.
  The second video was from The Differents which consisted of three main parts. At first they used the Simpsons to show us a bad education system, I think it was fun. In the second part they explained the school building. I did not enjos this part a lot because I do not agree with their idea. And the last part was my favourite because they used a video of a class, learning biology and PE at the same time. Although teaching biology or PE is not my main area, I loved the idea.
 

The expositions of cooperative learning. 17/02

 On this day there were three exhibitions of cooperative learning groups "the differents", "Rigatoni angels" and my group.
 Everyone did the work on the same theme, which is very interesting because, despite being of the same subject, each interprets it differently, with different points of view and giving importance to different ideas, despite being the same base. This is very interesting since so we can complete our knowledge, that is, we consider ideas that we had passed by unnoticed, or from another different approach. Which, in my opinion, complements our knowledge.
  After performing the work, and after exposures of my classmates have learned many things about this new way to teach class, about cooperative learning.  This methodology is characterized by that the students have to cooperate and work together, helping each other. A methodology that requires students to have with their peers and strive to give the maximum, since if there is someone on the team who does not strive both as the rest, or that have difficulty, the rest of the team will support you so go ahead, and if it is not, the team will be failed as a group.
 In conclusion, is inculcated companionship, trust, respect, and hard work, of ones and others. All together with techniques and activities such as jigsaw, which, in addition to the example we mentioned in class, I found this video with a practical example in class: https://youtu.be/mtm5_w6JthA

Here we put the linf of our video:

The ideal school

Rigatonis

This group did a good job with the video, they divided the video in two parts, in the first one they went to a school and they ask to some parents, teachers and a group of students. The school has an agenda in which parents and teachers can share messages or the parents can see the child work. What parents would change of that school is that they want more extracurricular activities and less homework, because the students work in class and some of them had some classes after class, and when they have to do the homework, they are really tired and they need more free time.

In the other part of the video, they tell us a story in which they travel though the future like in the film “Went back to the future”. The bases of their ideal school were: dynamic classes with technology, learning by having fun, a base curriculum and the teachers have to know all the contents and also knowing their students.

What I liked about this project is the story in about traveling though the time, because is a very creative way to see their ideas. Another important thing in their project is that they enjoy a lot making the video and they did funny things. They also show us their building in the video game “the sims” and it was really creative.

Roll Kids

This group did a very different project, they made a kind of magazine in which they explained all the ideas about the ideal school, and they put more attention in the integration and diversity. They talked about the role of the teacher that he has to be scaffolding not the main character of the learning. The other part of their video was a really interesting tale. This was the best part of the task because the other part was a little bit boring. The tale was about one death boy that has the dream of being in a “normal” school in which he could learn and enjoy with other mates. This tale ends with his inclusion and one important point to make this possible is to break the barriers.

They also introduce us the teacher’s community, what is really important to make a good school, this idea is really interesting and is connected with one of the articles that we read to make the ideal school.

I like a lot the tale because it was really entertaining, but I would talk less about the magazine. The idea was really creative and different comparing to the rest of the group, but they should make more cooperative the work.

Escuela de Bocación

This video was really creative and interesting, they did everything with love and with magic and I think that all of us enjoy a lot seeing this video. The video starts criticizing the relation between teachers and students, each student learn in one way, so is important to adapt the method for each student with the multiple intelligences. The school has to develop the autonomy of the students and their creativity; they have to have easy goals that they can get. Another important point is that the school is a community of learning in which students, teachers and parents has to “row” to the same direction. But for doing this, the teachers have to have vocation.

I really like everything of this video because of the type of video they did, a shadows tale really beautiful. The way in which they explained everything was as a story and they made us feel the tale´s magic.

ROL KIDS AND LA BANDA DEL PATIO: OUR IDEAL SCHOOL.

This groups have some similar ideas. The have centered in inclusive classes for the death people, an also in the idea of teach specific classes to the children for learn the symbols language, including teachers that known to use this. The organitation of the school is very similar, but in the first, it is more or less like all schools, and in the second, it is circular. Both of them are involved also in doing the classes more flexible, and adjust the methodology with the levels of the students. The relation between content, students and teachers is also important. 

There are creativity in the two videos, because they have maked the school using the videogame " The Sims", and they did a magazine with theoretical aspects. In La banda del patio, they maked a video like a film of cartoons, coordinationg the voices of each member with the film. For instance, there is an annoyance: The first video expends a lot of time, and the second is so short, but they are very well made.
The thing that I liked very much is the video of the death child, is so interesting an funniest. 

Escuela de Bocación: Our ideal school

The first thing that I want to say about this group is that they have made an incredible video. They know a lot the competences and they have mixt practice and theory correctly.
They have put their ideas of the ideal school telling us a history ( very good invented) about the problems that have a child in his school because of the bad environment in his class. This is the main thing that they critised: the environment in school is very important and if teacher have a good relation with students, and students are all good partners, this is good for the learning of the class, because it causes that the classes were more dynamics and more easy. This story is maked with a shadow theater. Then, other important ideas are that the teaher in this story is the center, he has all the power and the control, and this is the thing that they want to change: the students have to had more free, and express their ideas, because all learn and teach to others. The teacher have to know also the neccesities of the pupils, they have to develop their creativity, and he has to be like a scaffold for them. The inclusive classes are also important for this group.

This video has a lot of creativity. First, the story is made with a shadow theater, and this story is complete invented. They use also origami to continue the story, and also customs and other things, and for this reason I think is the best video, is very different to others, there are coordination between all the members. I liked very much the origami, i see it very difficult to do and it is seen that Rocio worked a lot for doing this.

Our ideal school

I think that the ROLL KIDS video is very creative because of the scool is original with the sims . although the video is very theoretycal. What I like best in this video is Peter`s dream beacuse they explain everything with cartoons of children who are using signs instead of talking.

In the second video RIGATONIS is very creative too because they interview parents, children and teachers. They explain their opinion.The parents think that it could be better to have fewer books, more exra lessons, and not so much homework. The teachers thimk that it could be better to have to be involved in the education and have more research in education. They would like to use new technologies and to have tablets for the students. What like best was the representantion of the school which was very good and creative , by using the sims. In the other hand, I couldn`t hear one part of the interview very well.

Ans finally the video i think is the best is ESCUELA BOCACION . They have used shadaws ans it is a story in black and white . They tell the story explaining the ideal school, leeting the child be creative and independent. The teacher is like a guide. They use origami to explain the ideal school, and materials for blind and deaf children.

Rigatony´s Angels.

This group have made a work very completed. First, is so different than the others videos because they have done an interview in one school, asking teachers, parents and students. The same question to all of them: How could you change the education? What do you thing that could be good to incorporate at school?.
Parents said that the school was well, children are very happy with the teachers and the content, and then the communication with them and students was correct. The thing that they changed ( and one of the things that all of us see) is to give students less homework, because a lot of them see it like a punishment, and this is not good for the learning. Also, they said that outclasses are vary important, and they didn´t buy many books because they are so expensive, and the practice is more useful. Then teachers said that the technology in class is very important because we are in the XXI century, and they have courses to manage digital blackboards. The teacher also explained that the problem is that the politicians don´t make a unic educational law that permits have a balance with the content and the different levels of learning. Finnally, they asked children and they said that they liked very much school, they worked in groups in the subjects in which more is developed the creativity, and they had a lot of homework.
The main idea that they have remarked is the cooperative learning in classes, and also the technology and the Educational triangle, in which are connected students, teachers and content, the teachers have to adapt the concepts to the students, because they are different in skills and also in differences of learning, culture etc.
The video is one of the most creative i have seen, because the ideas are fantastic, the "story" of to go to the future is very good, and the thing i really liked was the sequence of the "Future car", and the song is very funny!.

FUTUPASTA: Our ideal school.

This video was really good structured, and the concepts were clear. They put more ideas that the other group, and the first was very similar: they critic the actually school, saying that teachers don´t pay attention to the skills of the students, and saying how could be their ideal school. They focus on the methodology, on the content, and also the idea of the community of theachers. They also focused on the inclusive classes, and one idea that is important and was that they thought like they were children, and they explained the things that they wanted if they were children. They also explained that the practise in many cases is most important that theory, and marked the importance of the authonomy of the children, the teacher is not the centre of the class, the children also participate.

The video was creative because they turned the famous serie Futurama, in which each character was one member of the group. The dialogues were very good coordinated, but the volume in some scenes was a less bad. The thing that I really liked was when they "comes back" to the pass and they are children, and the serie in general is very good.

Escuela de Bocación and The Roll Kids. Our ideal school.

Escuela de Bocación.

This group decided to do a special video, showing us a very nice story with shadows that was about a child, Bocacioncito. They explain the main ideas so good, like the ideal multicultural school, it must be in every class material for deaf, blind, becoming he ideal inclusive classroom. Also that cooperative learning should be present, children must learn from each other, and being autonomous.

Another interesting idea could be the teacher´s help as a scaffolding... Learning communities for teachers, to share opinions between them and try to solve problems...

I think the video is so creative because the materials and the history are so nice, the shadows, the origami, a way to represent the characters who were describing their ideal school, and finally the messages that each member of the group was showing us, was all so beautiful and make me get melancholy. This video has moved us all.

The best that I like of the video could be the way of telling the story, and also the message that they want us to know.

The Roll Kids.

They have shown us a very interesting magazine, in which they explain all the theory and the ideas of their ideal school. I found so creative this idea also, and the fact that giving to the rest of the classmates a copy of the magazine is a very good idea, because at this way we could follow the explanation and see it in a better way, and keep it with us, in order to consult doubts, for example.

The ideas were so clear, but may be so theoretical too. They were more or less the same ideas of the previous videos.I like so much the map of their ideal school, because as Rigattonis´s video, they show it thought the video game The Sims.

At the end, they have showed us a video about a deaf child, who does not integrate in class because of the barriers that his disable problem has built between him and the rest of the class, including the teacher. But finally with the help of everybody he can over come all the obstacles, so it is like a metaphor of how an inclusive class should be, ad I think it is also a good idea.

To sump up, all groups have done a really good work, including our too, we have worked so hard and all the videos are excellent!

The differents: Our ideal school

This group make a video in which relationed very well theory with practise, and of course, this was the main idea of his new school.
First, they did a critic of the old school: Teachers teaching only theoretical concepts, and sending a lot of homework to students, who many times they don´t know how to do them. There is one scene that is a good critic, it is not real but reflects many times the passivity of the teachers: In this scene ( of The Simpsons), the teacher, bored of the class, gives Ralph the book and says to him that he has to explain the others the lesson. Ralph, of course, hasn´t any idea to do that, and he goes back to the class. Teachers don´t pay attention to all students, and they thing that all of them have the same level, but this is not real.
The most important thing that I see of the video is that they want to critic the theoretical classes that make students hate the subject. So they say that the important is to combine theory with practise, and one example is PE. In this subject, is used the theory to explain the concepts but also the practise, that for me is the best thing to learn something. The sports also help students to have more creativity and to cooperate each other.

I think that the video has creativity because the idea of the draw, and the "lesson" of PE, with the song and the dance is a good idea to express this concept of theory-practise. The first videos are also creative, anybody has put the same video and the ideas are very well structured. The thing that I really liked was the video of the Simpsons, because i loved this serie, but the most funny was the dance, is very good worked!.

THE IDEAL SCHOOL

 The differents.

In the first part of the video was a review about what is wrong in the daily school. They said that the teachers don’t motivate the children and they don’t believe in their capacities. There were some examples in which students didn’t were integrated.  Basically in this part, they explained that the society has change and the school has to adapt to this changes.

In the second part, they explained the special distribution of the school and also the classes. They explained that the classes need a spike distribution in which the teacher has to be in contact with the students and he or she has to be scaffolding for the pupils. They also add in their school green spaces in which students can share time. In the last part they show us a ideal PE lesson in which the students were the main characters of the learning and the teacher has the same importance as the pupils. They show us a very known song to teach the different parts of the human body and I have related this to the musical intelligence of the Gardner theory.

This video was really creative. I think that they had good ideas, they explained the school distribution as the same time that they were drawing it and it was so easy to follow. It was really funny and enjoyable and I think that they caught our attention really well.

What I liked more was the final part because if we think about it, we can get more ideas than a common practice class and it was really funny, they show that they are a cooperative group.

Futupasta.

This group has a main part of the project in which they explain all the ideas about his ideal school. This group explained more ideas than the other, they emphasize the idea about inclusion, and they also explained the importance of the community of teachers in which all should take part and also the relation between teachers and parents. In their ideal educational system, the school would be important after the classes as a place of learning, meeting or sharing doubts and opinions, in this idea they also explained that the students could share time despite the ages. They talked about the topics that the other group explained but they add the autonomy of the students as a goal, the necessity of a flexible curriculum adaptable to the individual needs and the groupal ones.

It was creative because they use the futurama serie. I liked a lot the song that they did about the inclusion and I think that it was really creative, but it was with very low volume. Finally I think that they had a good idea changing the time of the story, the chapter was well selected.

Rigattonis. Our ideal school.

This group has made a very good job, because I think their video is the most creative one, it was about a group of teachers who wanted to change the nowadays school, so they first make an interview to parents about what they think about the school, another to the teachers and the last to children.

Parents say that should be more extracurricula activities and less homework.

Teachers say many interesting things like, policies should be all together in education terms, also the change of the way they work the contents, changing the methodology. Working with nearby aspects, developing the experience of the children, and also decrease the number of children in class.

Then they travel to the future, where they realize how works the ideal school. I think the contents are so good explained, I have fun watching the video and I have understood everything. The originality and creativity of the video is indubitable.

Another point that has caught my attention is the representation of the ideal school by the video game The Sims, which I think is a fantastic idea to show us how the classrooms are, where, to sump up, It is a great way to represent a map of the school, also with the furniture and all type of details.

The differents. Our ideal school.

This group decided to make a video in which there were shown three types of education;

-The first one was about a bad education, a school where everybody did what they want both teachers and students.

-The second one was about how this first situation could change, for the better, of course, this was the part of their ideal school, where they explained all the content and also the school map.

I like so much that they also drew the inside of the class, like a cooperative class, they explained how the furniture have to be organized inside the class, and I think is a good idea to draw it too.

-The third part showed us how to apply this theoretical second part to the practice, and from my point of view, they have done a great job using the example of and “aerobic” class, because it is easy to understand and I am sure that all of us will remember it!

Futupasta. Our ideal school.

This video has all the possible ideas that it could has, like the most important ones from my point of view; cooperative learning, inclusive classes... It is also creative, because they have done a very good job fixing the scenes of the series “Futurama” in order to make a story with sense, and I know perfectly how much does it cost, how long does it take...

It is a hard work and they probably have spend a lot of time for do it. The video has a very good sound and also coordination between what the characters say and the voice that my classmates have recorded.

An aspect that caught my attention was the map of their ideal school, in which there were meeting rooms on the third floor, a fact that I had not thought of before, and also a very good idea, because at this way, teachers and students can use this classroom for a special activity, tutoring, meeting for a class work... so it is not necessary for them to meet outside school for do a special work, they can find all the necessary to do it; a library, a classroom, a computer room... all inside their school.

In this essay , I am going to write some points good and bad. This gropu is called Role Kids.

First of all, they talked about cooperative learning.

 I knew that in Peer Tutoring everyone changes roles. When someone is teacher , the next time is pupils. So everyone learns, it doesn`t matter the level. Moreover, classroom distribution is diagonal and horizontal to see each person.

Furtheremore, they didn`t speak fluently English. The didn´t say anything about personal commitment. So , they didn`t put to team organitation.

To sum up, they used a lot of examples and the best example was webquest. It had introduction, task, process, evaluation and the conclusión. 

Second day of expositions. This days exposed The Differents and La Banda del patio . In this essay, I can write some information.

First of all, The Differents didn`t know the difference between disadvantages and advantages. So everyone have to speak english more fluently.

Moreover, I knew that team bases only have a msxime of 5 people. The groups looked a lot of information in different ways, they put some examples and images, ine example what all class used is wbquest. It is very easy to use and it is comfortable where children learn and join.

Furtheremore, jiwsaw is a technique. Teacher does team base between 4-5 person. Teacher gives us subtopic. Each group is experted to one subtopic. Finally, everyone come back to first group and each child explained what have known.

To conclude, in the class of cooperative learning has a rules. These rules are : contribute, devote to the task ,help each other ,encourage each other, share, solve problems, give and accept feedback from parents.

The final result of the cooperative learning.

In the two last presentations, the groups made a different explanation. Despite the rest of the groups show everything about the cooperative learning guide, in this groups we also learned some things. In the presentation of the “futupasta” team, we realized that the teams-games tournament was really competitive and this is not characteristic of the cooperative learning. This game could be changed to fill in this context if instead of giving points, all the children could be rewarded if they learned. With this practice, all the children have motivation.

We also talked about TAI (team assisted individualization) in this technique of cooperative learning, we mixed the individual work with the help of a group. Each member has their own personalized plan and individual objectives that he or she need to rich. All the team work in the same topic but with different activities and objectives. As the same time that they are doing their work, they also have a team plan and if they get all the objectives they get a reward.

About the investigation groups, we said that they have to choose one topic and develop it for a summarize and a presentation for the rest of the class and it ends with a evaluation among the teacher and the students. This technique is similar to the work with projects.

In this class we saw the multiple intelligences of Gadner. In his theory, all of us has one or more than one intelligence developed, and in the school we have to use this intelligences and develop them and the objectives that they suggest. As Gadner said, if we support this intelligences, our children can become more committed and competent. The intelligences are: linguistic and verbal, mathematic and logical, especial, musical, kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist and spiritual.

We also add in this class that the student need to be able of use different skills in an authentic way, once he or she has went ahead of the step of being fake and behave in a dishonest way. The role of the teacher is to be the scaffolding and the guide, since here, the pupil can receive advices, but the learning is made by his own and not by the teacher.

I didn’t have too many spectates with all presentations about the same topic, but now I know that I have learned with my mate’s works. 

Go deeply in the contents.

Last Tuesday the groups “the differents”, “rigatonis angels” and my group did the presentation about cooperative learning. In this lesson I have understood the reason of doing the same presentation in different groups. The first day, all my mates did the explanation about the main topic, but in this class what we did is some added explanations. We went deeply in some topics that they didn’t explained. At final, all our works are going to sum and to summarize all the contents to get a more explicit and deep knownledge. 

Some of this topics were:  

The rules. In a cooperative class, the teacher has to be sure that all the students have understood the rules before start the work, the students have to respect each other and they have to have their commitments in mind. 

The philosophy in the cooperative learning. In this class, all the students have the same importance than others, all of them have to be respected by others and all the activities have to include every student in the class, so the philosophy is a kind of inclusive and open mind. 

In almost all the groups we have include in our presentations the web quest, this is a good material that is very useful in a class. The teacher give the students a web in with they are going to find the task, the steps that they have to follow, the pages on internet that they need to look up in and the guide of the evaluation that they are going to follow to make their evaluation and the one that the teacher is going to use.  

All the groups explained the jigsaw technique of cooperative learning class. It consist on dividing the class in different groups, each member has differents topics and they invest on them. Then they go to another group in which all the members has the same topic and they share their ideas about it. once they have complete their information they come back to the first group and they share all the ideas and they get a complete work. In my group we have find an example in which is mixed this technique with the peer tutoring one, this technique we have used it in the last semester in this same topic.
