Videos of FUTURAMA and THE DIFFERENTS.

So today we have started to watch some of the videos we have made about our ideal school. First of all it is important that we are aware of all the effort we put in our group tasks, but specially in doing the videos, as sometimes not all the work is reflected in the final result.

FUTUPASTA

They have changed the dialogue to a Futurama episode. It has been full of theory very well explained, and also with funny moments to make it more joyful, they have talked about all the important changes we must try to improve in the school, like the importance of the teaching being a guide and scaffolding for the students, and give them autonomy and responsibility listening to them and letting them learn from their mistakes.

I think their building had a good distribution, with a friendly and confortable area. In my opinion, it had a bit of lack of creativity. My favorite part has been the intro, which they have sang and written the letter about this theme.

THE DOFFERENTS

Their video had three distinguished parts, being the first one a Simpsons episode, in which they have criticized the current education system, then they have explained how their school building would be, in a very nice way (with a white board), also a friendly place full of green areas for students to relax and study peacefully. And the third and last part was a practice class where they have danced to learn some parts of the human body. In this video, maybe they have not reflected all the content needed and learnt doing this practice.

From this is important to know that we must always contrast theory with practice, so the learning process is easier for the students, as they learn by experience, having fun, doing different things, different ways and this way it is easier for them to remember for many time, what they have learnt. But all the activities must be done with a purpose which is based on theory.

I have enjoyed watching both of them, and I am looking forward to see the rest. J
