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.
