IDEAL SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS

Futupasta

          They made a video from an episode of futurama by changing the actual voices and adding their own. Frirstly, the crew from futurama went back to the past and they showed us how the education system used to be and then traveled to the future to see the changes and the improvements. Then they went back to the present to adopt the changes. The main ideas were cooperative learning, inclusive school, equality, autonomy of the students and scaffolding teachers.They explained the ideas very clearly. And I liked the part where they explained their school building which was told like a story. I found this really interesting.

The Differents

          Their video consisted of three parts. The first one was about the current education system which is a bad one. In this part they made a video of The Simpsons by changing the voices. In the second part, they showed their ideal school building which was a drawing on white board. I like the idea that there were lots of green spaces. In the third part, they put into practice by teaching biology through PE. Teachers dance to teach the parts of the body, which was obviously a fun way of learning.And they mostly focused on cooperative learning, group work, the idea of "no child left behind" and learning by having fun.

Escuela de Bocacion

          The best of all !! I really liked the way that they presented and explained their ideas. Their video also included 3 parts, all of which are absolutely creative.The first one was a shadow play. There was a boy called bocacioncito who was unsuccessful and had difficulties at school. So, his mother, Inclusion, wanted to help her son, went to the school and talked to the teacher. Then she went to a forest where all animals explained what is needed for the ideal school.(This is the second part and they showed it by means of animals made by origami.) At the end, they gave some massages which were very important for education and they sang a song which I liked a lot. The main ideas were inclusive school, opportunities for disabled people, cooperative learning, autonomous students and scaffolding teachers. All of the ideas were well-explained. Additionally, it was so obvious that they worked so hard and cooperation between members were impressive.

La Banda del Patio

          Their video was a kind of combination from different parts of the episodes of "La Banda del Patio", "The Recess" in English, which I used to watch when I was a kid. They changed the voices, too. But something was different because they didn't differentiate the voices of the characters. There was no special voice for one character, which was a little bit weird. The video was short compared to the other ones and I couldn't get some of the ideas because the voices weren't clear. But I liked the idea of equal opportunities for disabled people. Like the other groups who did a similar video, I must give all of them credit for finding the scenes, which is very difficult.

Los Rol Kids

          This group made a lot of work, which in my opinion a little bit unnecessary because it took so long and they repeated the same ideas in each different work.First of all they prepared a magazine, something that the other groups didn't do, and gave us a printed version of it. I liked this but looking at the printed one and at the same time listening causes us to get lost. Then they showed their ideal school building in Sims, as my group did. And they showed us a video about the difficulties that a deaf child is going through and how to get over them. This video was very illustrative.
