My experience with blogs

Hi classmates!
Today I'm very sad because it's our last session writting blogs :( but at the same time I'm happy because there are many positive things that I can rescue from this experience.
At first, I wanted to say that it was very nice the context where we wrote our posts, because we could ask for our doubts without problems, and learn from our classmates, because we could interact with them during the blog session and visit their blogs. I have enjoyed some topis, like writting about my future. It was cool, because It wasn't boring doing it, and I think I've improved my english skills. At the begining, writting on a blog was weird for me, because it was a new experience. The first post that I made on my life it was on this english class. I learned how to use this tool that maybe will be useful for me on the future, who knows. Some topics I would suggest were a little bit boring, but finally it depended on ourselves doing them better. Sometimes I just wanted to go home and didn't write the assignment, but finally I realized that doing our classworks was very useful for practice and don't lose the things that I learned at school.
The post I liked the most was the one were we had to write about our favorite photo, because it was a very free topic, and it was very interesting watching others photos. They were all different and, in some way, they reflected a part of us.
It was cool that we could see our classmates posts, because if we couldn't do that, the work would be very boring.
I've learnt writting on a faster way, doing fewer mistakes on each post. That was great, because maybe on the future I'll work with english, and I'll be more prepared at the time I'll use it.
Well, that's all. See you on the next class, but not on the next blog :(
bye!!

My ideal work

Hello class. Today I'm going to talk about my ideal work. I like many things, so I don't have only one option.

I would like to work on a radio, making voices for a movie, writting dialogues for it or acting on a comedy. For that, I need to be very expresive and manage different voices. Be very imaginative and have personality for acting in front many people. It's my dream since I was a child, so I hope one day I'll do it. It would be very funny. I love acting so it would be great. Maybe it would be very difficult working on that because I'm not studying theater, neither audiovisual communication, but who knows, maybe life has a sorprise for me :). I think maybe I can study something related with that later, because I also would like to work helping people, and for that I think anthropology is very useful because of the knowledge and skills that can bring me. I would like to work on something related with improving of education too, so that's why I'm here right know.
Well, that's all for now. See you on class!

Ken Robinson's video


Hello classmates! today I'm going to talk about creativity and education. First I'm going to make a summary about a Ken Robinson video and then I'm going to give you my opinion about it.


On the video, Ken Robinson talks about education and creativity. He says we all have creativity but on schools they doesn’t teach us to explode it. That’s why we learn that we don’t have to make mistakes, and some things, instead we think are good, are bad. If we are not prepared to be wrong we are not to get new ideas, so that’s te reason we don’t explode all the creativity we have. People is afraid of making mistakes because on school they teach us what’s good and what’s wrong. School give more importance to subjects like math but they don’t care about dance or music. They are very important too. They teach you the things they think are write, and they told you that if you don’t work on something related to those things, you’ll never get a job. You can’t be an artist because you’ll not earn money. People who has artistic habilities doesn’t enjoy them because in many cases they are stigmatized by traditional schools, because for them, the artistic side is not important. He talks about a dancer who’s life it’s great and she doesn’t work on a traditional job. He said we must take a new conception of human ecology and on them we must take a new view of human capacities. We must reorganice the education that we’re giving to our children.The humanitie’s gift is our imagination. We must use this gift wiselly. We must educate children on all the aspects.
I think Ken’s ideas are very important and interesting. I studied on a traditional school since I was 4 years old. I loved music and acting but hadn’t spaces for doing those things. I wasn’t good at biology so some teachers made me feel as an unuseful person. I would love to have more hours of artistic subjects but I couldn’t. As human beings we are integral, so I think we must learn things from many aspects because finally they are related, and they are all important. Our intelligence can not only be estimled with math, we can do many things to have more ideas and wake up our creativity.
Well that’s all for now, see you on the next post
Bye!
