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.

Cooperative learning

- Rol Kids: First of all, they presentated the organization of the presentation and then they explained the ideas about the topic and the class organization. After it, they had a little mistake that was that they understand that the disvantages about cooperative learning were the same that the difficulties, and it was the main idea that I learned. After, they explained the peer tutoring and the group of investigation and the webquest like a resource and after this put a video about the cooperative learning.

- The Differents. La Banda Del Patio and our presentation: In these three presentation were exposed three very good ideas about cooperative learning, and these were: philosophy in the class, the creation of the teams and the rules in the class. About the philosophy, it means that in a class should have a good environment and try that all the children were good like in their houses. The other point was the creation of the teams, that means that the creation of the teams should be with rules that we should set before like put in columns with different characteristics to try to mix the "best" qualified children with the "worst" qualified children. After, they also talked about the webquest and about the jigsaw.

- Escuela de Bocacion: The main idea was the autonomy of students and it means that each student should know abou their responsabilties and they should know manage his learning and try to develop it.  Another point was the teacher planning and it means that if a teacher explain or try to hel t the student in a good way and try to develop his learning and knowledge in them (students) ii will be a good planning.

-Futupasta: They talked about the TAI and TGT. In TAI, they explained that mix the individual work with the cooperative learning. With one topic, they should each one work about it and after each one help to other one to improve the knowledge about that topic. And after, TGT, the classroom is divided in heterogeneous groups based in their capacities. Now, about questions, they should answer them and get the most of the points. This is not a cooperative method, is a competitive method.

Videos about ideal school

- Futupasta: the video of Futupasta was based on sequences of parts of chapters about the Futurama serie but with their voices. The most important idea in my opinion has been that the went to the past yo see how the education was and after they went to the future and get conclussions about what they had developed and after came back to their actual period of life to try to change it and do in that moment the things that were in the future. These ideas to develop were the inclusive school and the cooperative learning. In my opinion, it was a nice video with nice ideas to develop the theory that we needed and very funny in a lot of moments,

- The Differents: This video was divided like in three parts, the cause of it was that they wanted to represent the differents ideas in three parts. The first of them was to show the bad education that was in the The Simpons' serie, the second part was the structure of his idea school and the last one was a class of PE but showing some parts of the body. It was a very funny video but I think that there was not much theory and I think that if there is more theory will be a reall good video.

- Escuela de Bocación: This video was very good! It show us an history about one boy in the school that not was very happy, in this video the theory was very good because I understood all the messages that they wanted show us, for example that a lot of homework could be bad for children or that all of us should help for a correct education becuase in this way all of us will be better in a future. Also the creativity of this video was wonderful.

- La Banda del Patio: This video was about a chapter of "La Banda Del Patio" in which they show us their ideal school but in my opinion was a video very short and the ideas were not develop in a good way. For me, it was the video that I did not understand a lot because I did not find the ideas in a complete way.

- The Rolkids: This video was like a magazine that mix a lot of theory in my opinion, because the wanted show us all the information but i think that was annoying in some parts, because it was the same theory in each moment but in the same way it was very good explained. In mi opinion it was a very nice job but they should be more organized in some points.
