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
