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.
