EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS WORK PLAN:

LA BANDA DEL PATIO

This group has done a video about the cartoons “La banda del Patio”, and the have shot their voices. This video has been short, because they have had several problems with it, but I have understood everything about this video.

They begin the video talking about the traditional way of teaching, and they show us how this way of learning is not the correct and should change, by institutions, schools, and teachers.

The most important thing to me is that the score that children get in an exam is not the important, this is not evaluating children’s develop. So to be a good teacher we have to evaluate the development of each student, and value it, because if not with a test is impossible to show the knowledge and the process of the child in the subject or in the class, so this is one thing that all schools should have, like La banda del Patio Ideal School.

An other thing that I would like to highlight is the relationship between teacher-student, all students have to feel the same, so the teacher have to have the same relation with all students, without having preferences and inequalities.

In this video we have seen that each member of this group have effort doing it and they have a good working atmosphere.

ESCUELA DE BOCACION:

First I would like to highlight the job of this group, because has been spectacular. They show us indirectly the good working atmosphere that they have, and this is very important for develop a good job.

This video has been very cute, and it has four parts, “the vocacioncito tale”, the origami part, the draw of the school building and all the members of the groups showing us some important topics of the Ideal School.

I would like to concentrate about what they have explain us about children in the school: first teachers have to let them that their imagination run free, to develop their curiosity and the critical thinking, give them the opportunity of being autonomous, everything of this is very important to achieve the education we are looking for with all of this theories, ways of changing the school… But I think that we have just to believe in the new system and work a lot with it.

The teacher has an important role in the school because he is the scaffolding, has to focus on the needs of all students, has to do dynamic classes, with different activities to catch the children’s attention. A very important thing is that teachers have to know how to react and how to teach all children in a class, because always in a class is going to be different intelligences. So the role of the teacher is essential in the education of children.

The last but not the less important, are the measures that a school should have to children with some problems, like deaf people, teaching them with special resources, blind children teaching them with Braille, and some special resources, an essential part of the building’s school are the places that have been facilitated to access to the school, and to move and feel equal that all students, without caring about their disability. So I can summarizer this saying that the Ideal School must have place for everyone, and the necessary facilities to people with disabilities.

RIGATONIS:

This video has been very interesting, they have done some interviews, and the have done a representation. I am going to talk about the things that have call my attention.

In the parents interview they sow us the difficult decision of parents of selecting the correct school, they say that are very happy , and they have an agenda where parents and teachers are connected and where parents can see their children homework, activities etc.

Things that parents say that is necessary to achieve is: have more extracurricular activities, less books (because are very expensive, and their children have to support a lot of weight) and reduce the homework, because they don’t have enough time and they need to relax, not just doing homework all the afternoon.

The teacher’s interview: the teacher say that she has the lucky of work in which she loves, so this is the principal point for being a good teacher.

She say that would change the contents of the subjects and the methodology, she defends the new ways of learning instead the traditional one.

In her school they have already installed digital blackboard, they have computer rooms, and they have training courses but are not paying by the State, but the school pay it.

The last part of the interview they talked with children: they say that they have fun in the school because they like to be with their friends and because they learn.

They say that they work in groups in some subjects like P.E. arts, alternative and sometimes in class they say.

And they use technologies in Music like digital blackboards and in English like computers. They have a complaint, that is that teachers give them a lot of homework and they don’t have enough time to have fun after the school.

These things has been exciting because I have learnt a lot of the school, the real point of view of the teachers, parents and children.

Silvia García Rodríguez-1ºB. Magisterio Primaria Bilingüe.

THE DIFFERENTS:

This group has done a video with three parts, first with the Simpsons, the structure of the draw and they having fun, and representing a P.E. class.

A very important part of the video is when Lisa sais to Ralph that he should study a lot like her, memorizing, and he wonder “Why we have to do exams?”, because is very important to make children learn without memorizing everything, and the forgetting it, this is one of the biggest problems in the Spanish education, that children have to study, memorize, and forget it…

Children say that they favourite subject is art because they feel freedom, and the can express their feelings, and they only pass this subject, so  with this we can see how children feel comfortable with the dynamic classes, in which they feel a necessary part of the class.

Also they have emphasized that there are some teachers that don’t care about their children education, and they don’t do their job in the right way, so because this is very important the trajectory of each teacher and that they never stop improving their way of teaching.

In the structure of the school they have done two flats, and in one of them they have putted all courses of primary, all together. Around the school they have green where children can interact and rest in the breaks, in P.E., in some subjects…

So this part of the school is very important to children, to be relaxing and to have a place to be comfortable and to take a break.

FUTUPASTA:

This group has done a video with the cartoons of the TV serir “Futurama”. Fisr in the video the have talked about the mistakes of the traditional way of teaching and the benefits that has the “new” school.

A thing that I want to highlight is something that they have said : “…Even teachers are learning all the time”, this is very important, because the quality of the education depends most part on the teachers studies, experience and knowledge.

In the part of the building structure they have putted study rooms where children can study, make their homework…stay with their classmates doing some activities, these are rooms that should be in all schools, and the floor of the teachers is very interesting where they have their offices, their meeting room.

They talk about their ideal school, they have said that is essential the cooperation with each other, between students, teachers, personal of the school, between teachers and students…, is very important to understand the other points of view of the rest of people. And the last, that the teacher doesn’t have the main paper in the class, he is a guider, he is the scaffolding of the students.

So It is very important to realize that this things are necessary in the school to achieve a better education.

La Banda del Patio "Our ideal School"

This video was easily to understand although a little short. the took a video chapter of " La Banda del Patio" and they put it their voices about their ideal school.

Firstly, the started to talk about the old school and the things that they did it. then, One of  children decide to tell how will be his ideal school. they talked some things to change:

- Adap curriculum to nowadays.
- Make a triangle were children are in a peak, an other one are teachers and in the last peak are the contents, but all of this are connecting.
- The have to create communities od teaching to improve their activities and motivate children.
- Create inclusive room and infrastructure that people who have problem can use it.

I think that they have a wrong because in the video they said that the money was a problem to do that and i think that it isn't necessary to have a lot of money because if you want to be a good teacher, you will have to improve with the material that you have it.
An other thing that I don't agree was that they said what theorical is less important than pracitse and I things that it's important know the theorical things frist and then you put it in practice because if yo don't know this thing you can't do activities related with therical things.

Finally, I this that was originally select this chapter because at the final, teachers, parents and children were agree with their ideal school and i think that it's important that all people think about that like a a good thing.

Escuela de Bocación " Our ideal school"

They was originally because make three parts of the video to explain our ideal school.

Firstly, they explain a little tail where a child isn't introduced in their class.

They talked about a lot of important things for example:

- Multiple intelligent where they talked that children have different intelligemt and different ways to develop it.

- Leave that children develop their imagine and curiosity.

- There are important resources that they use it.

- Children have to do cooperative learning and they have to be autonomy.

- The scaffolding is so important for children because teachers make autonomus learning of students.

- We have to promove the inclusive classroom.

- Teachers should be addapted.

Their ideal school is worked with learning communities and teaching assigment,through that, we have to distribute and use new resources and creative law of education.

I liked this video because at the final they put easy sentences to understand all concept and things that they want to work in their classroom.

the rigatonnis angels "our ideal school"

I like this video because they compere the oldo school with our ideal school. In this video, teachers from other school are talked about things that we have to change for improve the education. the things that they said was:
- Reduce homeworks because children don't have enough free time.
- The politics have to ve agree all together for put a good curriculum.
- Classes have to be more dinamic and experimentals.
- We have to change the methodology.
- Add new tecnologies to class, like, digital blackboard.
- The formation should be free for teachers.
- We should have in class resources to develop experiences with children.
Then, she asked to children how would be their ideal school. It was so funny because they said that would like to have party everyday.
Finally, they talked about ideal school and it was very well because they talked about integration classroom, cooperative learning, communities learning and the new tecnologies in the classroom.
With this focus, you can see the differents opinions and you can learn more things of our ideal school.
The video was very original and you understand everything easily.

LA BANDA DEL PATIO. IDEAL SCHOOL.

In this post, I am going to write about the work of the ‘La Banda del Patio’’ group that it is related with their ideal school and also of the ideas of this school.

To begin, I have to say that I hope more from that group because the video is so short comparing with the other works and I think that they could make something more. From that group I learn that the school must adapt with the epoch and also that the teacher, children and content have to make like a triangle in which all helps the others so it is necessary to make a good curriculum and also to make a good school. Writing about the creative I think that they take the idea of the video that Yolanda put in class about ‘’The Minions’’ so they don’t make a really good work, in my point of view. I think it could have done other video, because the characters bend their group name was quite predictable and therefore did not find the wow factor that caused other groups to the class.

To sum up, I have to say that is a good work but comparing with others maybe it is the worst (in my point of view).

ESCUELA DE BOCACION. IDEAL SCHOOL.

In this post, I am going to write about the work of the ‘’Escuela de Bocacion’’ group that it is related with their ideal school and also of the ideas of this school.

In this work I learn how to work in a group, how to make a fabulous job. I have to say that the creativity of this group far exceeds that used by other groups, they put all that is necessary to explain their idea of ideal school, making a story, making with by origami or singing a song, I learn that you can by happy making a video of this signature and I think this is the most important thing in the world, to be happy. They used all his media and I really want to see another time this video because it is so splendid so I have to say, CONGRATULATIONS for that group and I hope that my group will make the same in the future groups or at least making with forward and be happy when we make the work, seriously, CONGRATULATIONS. 

To sum up, I have to say that they have also the media to do it and this help us to make it, furthermore it is the best work I have never seen.

Presentation 24-03-2015

"Escuela de Bocación"

Yesterday, this group present the ideal school doing something very different. This group create a story. In the story we can noticed the "bad school" because the students were not comfortable with their teachers, school... Also they created a song talking about the good school, without discrimination, in a very comfortable way, doing things with their classmates...I can say that is the video that i loved more, because, the video was  incredible and also we can noticed that each  component was very happy with the others, so that is good because you will have fun and also you´ll learn a lot.
congratulation for this group!


"La banda del Patio"

This group decided to do a chapter in which only change their voices. This group do the same as the "Futupasta". I like this video because we learn so much about the inclusive classroom. The structure was saying by their own voices, like a real chapter. In the chapter that they created, was talking about the change that must have their school into a "good school". To sum up this gropu i would say that this type of video, i like it because is very entertaining, and also we learned a lot!


"Rigatonys"

This group started with a traditional class, in which the teacher was Lucía and scold student because they don´t understand something. To stop this type of learning, they decided to go to 2075, to the future, in which they noticed the change, the teacher explain very good the things, doing activities, the children was happy with the school and a good relationship with the teachers and classmates. Finally they decided to start this type of learning and it´s successful. The structure of this group was the same as our group, they use the sims. Also they record the children in one school, and they explained how they ar in the school, and all of them were successful.

GROUP "LA BANDA DEL PATIO" OUR IDEAL SCHOOL

In my opinion this presentation was a little short. They used a chapter about the cartoons "La Banda del Patio" to explain how they want that their ideal school was.

The chapter star with an authority and traditional school where the norm and rules are very serious and with a curriculum rigid and strict.

The community learning want a change where the curriculum is more flexible and adapt to the necessary of nowadays and the differences of students.

They make a triangle where join teachers, students and content.

they explain the structure of they ideal school with three floor, in each other we can find the different primary levels. 

In this school the piece important is the teacher who is join to give the autonomy, develop skill and help student to be more independent in his daily through the meaningful learning.

Finally, the learning community get build their ideal school.

I wish that in the real life, these types of schools were those that predominate in the educational system.

GROUP "ESCUELA DE BOCACIÓN" OUR IDEAL SCHOOL

It is the presentation that I liked most, because when you see the video you see a good job of all the member of the group. The resource of the shadow tale has been very beautiful and magic, this creates an atmosphere of mystery in which the theory of inclusive classroom topic seen from the point of view of a child is mixed. For a moment watching the story I returned to my childhood. This does easier understand the theory. 

About the main ideas about the inclusive classroom, all were said: intelligent multiples, cooperative learning, community learning, how must be the structure, the importance of the realtionship between family, teacher, students. 

It was a creative video, each characteristic was told how a character what did that i understand better the context.

The main ideas that they explain were about their ideal school are:

- Less homework.

- Small group of students by teacher.

- Imagination free and creative. 

- Give importance to the resources, they must been different and several and they can be used for all students.

- Cooperative learning.

- Teacher like scaffolding to develop the autonomy in children.

- Students can learn from each other.

GROUP "THE RIGATONIS ANGELS" OUR IDEAL SCHOOL

This presentation inspired the movie Back to the Future, I liked it for its originality because they have been mix all the theory of the inclusive school with the different scenes very funny such as, dancing, music,  scenes of movie "Back to the future",but what I liked most is the interview in the school because you have information of the first hand of the actual situation of educative system, for that this video has been very active and hasn't been boring.

The main ideas are:

- They start with a real interview to teacher in an school of Madrid where teacher talk about experiences, relationship between students, teacher and family and what hey want to change in the educative system. Some of this ideas are:

- Good environment in the classroom, "student love teacher".

- Good communication between teacher and family.

- Children need more extracurricular reinforcement classes.

- Teacher think that send a lot of homework.

- Political agreements on education. Politicians must join together to improve the education system and that this was more stable.

- More experimental classes, more actives. 

- Teachers want a change in methodology. It must be more practical and use those contained classes closest to children. Meaningful learning.

- Introduce the new technologies in the classroom like digital blackboard.

- Teachers receive training to know better how they must work in class with the media.

- Develop the skills of students.

- Classes with less pupils, in this way, children have a treat more personal and they can learn better adapting the curriculum to the necessary of students.

- Work more in groups. Cooperative learning.

For the children, their ideal school work with de new technologies in the classroom such as, tablet, less homework and everyday of party. With this, underline children say that they are bored in class.

With all this, opinions about professional of the community educative we can see that the actual system don't work and that is urgent a change that adapt the educative system to the necessary of the new generation with different cultures, ethnics, skills, capacities. They want a school where be different not is a barrier.

The differents " Our ideal School"

 I enjoyed a lot with this group because was very funny to see them dancing. I think that they put it in practices the things that the do it in their school idea. They compared also old school with their ideal school. I have found some principal ideas of this video to work the ideal school:

- Cooperative learning like a resource in the classroom.

- Classroom like a space of organization. 

- Importance to introduce the new techologies in the class as a resource of teaching and learning.

- The importance of the interaction of children.

- Implication teacher in the learning process. That it's the scaffolding.

They should put more theory because they explain it well but i need to know a little bit more of the theory things. The examples as song was so nice resources to work in the classroom with the concepts of theory that children are learning. I enjoyed a lot with them.

Futupasta

This group, like their own group called, they decide to take a chapter of "Futurama" and change the dialogue in their ideal school. This group was very interesting and original. I´m going to distribute the exposure in three points:
1-. they talk about the ideal school, as i said yet. But also they added the kindergarden in their school.  I think that this school was very good in all sense, because everything they put in their ideal school was very interested and also, all the room´s were differents type of development. So with this big develop for our children is so important because they have some pros.

2-. Also they talk about he teachers. This group decided to center in a good school, so they said that the paper of teacher must be scaffolding and also a guide for the children. This type of teacher is consider in a good school, i said, in a cooperative learning. If teacher´s are scaffolding for children, also pupil learn that they have to do by their own, not depending by the teacher, their classmate, parents... So with this type of teacher, we have to teach parents, to do the same with their son.

3-. Finally, like I said before, this type of "new teacher" is conected to the new methodology, the cooperative learning. And this group explain very good this cooperativ learning included in their ideal school, and that is an ideal school, good teachers, good methodology of lerarning, good headmaster, and also pupils that want to learn.

To sum up this group, i will say that is was very bearable, because you could put in the situation of one of the protagonist of the series "Futurama"

The Differents

Last thursday, this group exposed their ideal school. This exposure, start with a video, in which explain the NO ideal school, like violence, teachers without forward to explain, repeat, correct...This part of video I like so much because you realised the importance of the paper of the teacher, and not only that, you can noticed, that some teachers don´t like teaching,learning.. and this is the begining of a bad teacher. 

For the second video, this group, exposed how could be the ideal school, instead of do like a sims, or like a virtual 3D, they decide to do in a white blackboard. I think that is good, because with this things we noticed that we can do what ever you want in many differents ways. 

To finally the video, they decide to interact in their oun video. they interpreted a biology class, in which Sergio was the teacher, and the other components of the group was the children. In this class we can see that we can explain everything in a very easy way. They learn the body system with their own body. So this facilitates de learning of the pupils. 

To sum up, i would like to say that I like so much this group, because in every group we learn a new thing, also if you know that before, you can increase your knowledge. 

IDEAL SCHOOL. RIGATONIS ANGELS.

In that post, I am going to write about the video of our mates Rigatonis Angels and what they have put in their video of the ideal school.

To begin, I have to say that their video is so good and they also put all the things that we need to understand what the ideal school is for them. First of all they made a little interview for parents and teachers that it was too nice because there we can now what is the opinion of the teachers of a normal school and also what is the opinion of the parents that have their sons,  I have learnt the next things of this group: In school have to be less books and homework and more extracurricular activities, the teachers and all the people who work in the school have to be nearest with the students in the school, the technology is too much important because nowadays the students that enter in the schools want to work with the technology and they also know how to use the technology so the school have to introduced in the classes, the distribution in the class must be in groups or something similar like that for the better work of the students, also all the students have the same human rights, in schools need not exist or sexism or racism or anything similar and the learn have to be funny and happy for all the students and also for all the teachers.

 Speaking about creativity I think that is to high because they have the idea of the Returns to the Future and this is very nice and very funny so I laugh a lot, and the finish dance is very funny (however they dance not very well).

THE DIFFERENTS. IDEAL SCHOOL.

In that post, I am going to write about the video of our mates The differents and what they have put in their video of the ideal school.

To begin, I have to say that their video is so good and they also put all the things that we need to understand what the ideal school is for them. First of all they make a good video of their ideal school, I learnt to many things, one of that things is that theory and practice have to be equal, the practice is very important to understand all the materials that we have to learn in class, also the implication of the teacher is very important, because they have to help the students and he have to like the signature and also they have to like teach it. 

In class have to be two thing to much important, the integration and the interaction, first the integration of the class because all the students have to comfortable in class to a good work and second the implication of all the students because is not the same that only a few of students work in class that all the people participate, the teacher have to motivate all the students to work and to participate in class.

To sum up, I have to say that the finish dancing is very nice and I laugh a lot with it, I think that in all the videos have to be something funny for the amenity of it. 

IDEAL SCHOOL. FUTUPASTA.

In that  post, I am going to write about the video of our mates Futupasta and what they have put in their video of the ideal school.

To begin, I have to say that their video is so good and they also put all the things that we need to understand what the ideal school is for them. First of all they introduced what is and what is for them the ideal school, the think that I like the most in this video is the creativity that they have, because they make easy the video and also the understanding. I have learnt two important things above the other, one is that the teacher have to be a scaffolding for the students in all the schools, he has to help their students in all that is possible for him, also I have learnt that the curriculum have to be flexible because if not all the class should be heavy and little bearable.

One thing bad that I have to say is that I expected a bit more from the video because in their group they know how to use technologies a lot and they could put more things and they could make another type of video but in conclusion it is very well.

GROUP "THE DIFFERENTS" OUR IDEAL SCHOOL

This group has used a chapter of The Simpsons to introduce that the traditional school doesn't work nowadays, because this traditional school is passive and we like futures teacher want children actives, creatives and with critical thinking. The society change and school must progress and adapt to new changes how to introduce the new technologies. For that, teacher must be train and have the abilities necesaries to carry out this changes inside the classroom. 

This group says that the theory is equally important that the practice, but in a inclusive classroom the practice is more important because with the experience and interacting with each other, children learn more through of their own knowledge.

Others ideas in this presentation are:

- Cooperative learning like a resource in the classroom.

- Implication teacher in the learning process.

- Classroom space Organization. 

- Importance to introduce of the TIC's in the class as a resource of teaching and learning.

- The importance of the interaction of children.

This video has been very enjoin when all its member has dancing song "Head, shoulder, knee and toes". It is creative because they have used different resources to explain the contain of the topic such as video The Simpsons and themselves like characer with the song.

I like best in the video is that has been very funny and varied.

GROUP "FUTUPASTA" OUR IDEAL SCHOOL

The presentation about Inclusive School that FUTUPASTA has made I catch several ideas such as:

- Teacher like "scaffolding" for children in the process of learning. I remember what I studied the constructivist with authors like Piaget, Vygostky and Bruner, where teacher must be the guide in the school for students. For that, teacher  have to train to teach students the knowledged and the values that development in pupils the necesary skills to become autonomous in his daily life. Here a show you a example with new technologies:

- The curriculum must be flexible because in this inclusive classroom there are all types of students, taking into account their previous knowledge and characteristics. Therefore, teacher need flexible curriculum with individual objectives, activities and resources to adapt to the contents, and these help children achieve their aims where teacher will assess the process rather than the result. 

- In the inclusive classroom teacher have to use the Cooperative Learning as a resource in the learning process because with this all students will acquire the knowledge and values, with this teacher achieve  a meaningful learning.

The video is created because this group has used and adapted a charted of their logo to explain "their ideal school" and the best in the video adapt the screenplay to the images.  

Futupasta "Our ideal School"

This group select a chapter of "Futurama" to put their voices and explain their ideal school. It was so funny because the video was acordding with all things that they said it.

They compared old school with their ideal school and the most important things that I remembered of this group was the importance of teacher to promove the scaffolding because they said that children have to have autonomus learning with their help but then they can develop their imagine and create their own thinking,

Another thing that i saw important, was the cooperative learnign because like this way, children can learn more things from their classmate,

It was nice because the chapter was funny and you could understand all things that they said.

OUR IDEAL SCHOOL-PERSONAL COMMITMENTS-IMPROVMENTS-PLANNING

The last Thursday, two groups showed us their works: “Escuela de Bocacion” and “Futupasta”. Both of them have been interesting, and we have learnt new things with each one, and this is so positive to us, because we have expand our knowledge about cooperative learning.I’m going to talk about the most important and “newest” points of each group, so I’m going to start from the first that did the presentation:

 “ESCUELA DE BOCACIÓN”

Team's notebook: 

This is a very useful resource that helps students to organized them selves in a cooperative learning way.In this notebook the members of a group have to write: First, writhe the hobbies and the different skills of each memeber of the group, and this step helps to create the name of the group (that involucrates everybody), Second all the members have to develop a roll, and this roll is rotative ( in the different activities it changes),each one have to have personal commitmens (be better in something, try to be more attend...) and achieve them by its self and with the help of their partners of the group, Third, the plan of the group, to do an activity they have to follow a several "microtasks", so they have to plan it with time, and then look if they have close fit to their stimated time. And after this they have to value what they have achieve and what can change to do better in the next work.


The teacher's roll:

They have explained it with different points: be concrete, define each skill, go step by step, practice the skills, just be an scafolding for the children (students develop autonomous).So the roll of the teacher is very important to children to get their goals, and to learn more about this way of learning.



Children are autonomous:

Children have to feel comfortable with their roll, and to get this they have to pass some steps like: conscious of their clumsy with this skill, feel falseness when they put this skill in practice, then the proper use of it ( but mechanic), and the goal to be automatic and the proper use of the skill.

The thing that have caught my attention have the funny videos (examples of work in groups), like the one of the penguins and the minions.

"FUTUPASTA"

T.A.I, Teams Game Tournament

This is a personalized play: each pupil is responsible of his own plan and help the others students to get their goals.The most important is to get the correct answer buf not quickly, and that there are a lot of prices (the one of working together, the most creative answer...), and each group get one. So this is a motivate activity to children, and to make them be interesting in the activity.



Plan/ The evaluation

This has caught my attention because it is more visual, and it is qualitative. It motivates the students they always are going to get a star, but they can get more stars so they will effort more to get it. The evaluation is: should improve: 1 star, good: 2 stars, very good: 3 stars.


Methos of meeting: 

They have work in different ways, thay have used skype, prezi, google docs. And with this they can work at the same time in different places and achieve their project's goals.

The most impact thing of this work have been the originality, not doing the project with power point, so they have been the differents.

Silvia García Rodríguez- Grupo 1ºB- Los RolKids

Futupasta

The philosophy that this group has been is to accept each other with their difference; it could be phisic, culture...

The method that they´ve employee is the peer tutoring. This method consist in, a goup of three student, with differents level of learning. This start with one of tge three pupils being the " teacher" so he/she has to teach others and the other two have to learn, to understand... When this finished, the turn of the "teacher" change and do again the same that I´ve told yet. With this type of learning, there not only learn the topic, they learn to be more responsable.

Finally they have explained the tournament. This method base on different group heterogeneous and for each have a card. The teacher asked question and they have to answer correctly. They don´t have time to answer beacuse with this method we pretended to know more, not to get a prize.

If the answer is correct they´ll have more card, but that doesn´t mean anything. All groups will have a prize with differents meaning, for example to answer quickly, to help each other...

School of Bocation

This group has presented the work on three point. This points are : plan of teachers, authonomic and group investigation.

On the one hand we have the plan of teachers that help them to know this new learning. Also there´re teachers that know this  learning, but with this planning the´ll have more information and increase their knowledge.

On the other hand, stand out the authonomic. With this type of learning , pupils have to learn to do their own work, to search information, to help each other, and all this examples are authonomic. The student learn, no only the subject, they learn how to work in a group, how to work without help, to respect each other, to have more attitude to continue study.

Finally, the last point is the group investigation. With this method, they put in heterogeneous group. They search information with their own group, they compare all the information and then they do a work about the topic. They presented to all the classmates but this has not finished yet. The other student do the same with the equal topic, so that help to know if they´re doing well a not, if they have search enough information and also to grow up.

To sum up, I like so much the phrase " be a scaffold" this phrase expressed again this type of learning. The teachers support and help the student and they( teacher) allow the pupils to think and study by their own.

Group “Escuela De Bocación” COOPERATIVE LEARNING

I enjoy a lot with videos that this group show us, because, they explain so well the different concepts that they want to work.

Then, other thing that I can learn is their “team’s notebook”, because they explain step by step what we have to do for use this method. First you have to tell or explain your plan about your project, topic or work. Then, you have to explain what we are doing with the concepts and at the final you have to make an assessment to know how much work of people, their sensations, their involucrate…

Other important thing that I see it’s the multiple intelligences. Anybody has put in their project something like this and I think that it’s interesting to work in the cooperative learning. They explain us that have different tests to know which intelligences have children. It helps kids to learn, remember, perform and understand the different concepts.

This group have use concepts that they learn in the other semester and I think that this is important to be a good teacher because you can connect the different concepts with others topics and explain better.

Group “Rigatonis Angels” COOPERATIVE LEARNING

I like so much some ideas that this group give us. For example, we can work with children the philosophy class through different slogans.  I think that slogans are so easy for children learn because they can memorize short sentences and remember it. They can have in their classes the same blackboard and they can put every week different slogans to improve the cooperative learning. We can use this method to promote equality and reduce competitive situations in the classroom. With this form, children can feel part important of this project.

Other thing that I like a lot has been put the different rules with pictures or drawings to explain rules, because with this way children can associate it with the drawings and learn easily. Distributions of the rules are clear through rotary, demand responsibility from each other and turn into routine.

The video about the technique of “Jig – saw” has been so nice to explain it because you can see with your own eyes the cooperative learning with this method. If you use this video to explain kids the cooperative learning they will learn more practically. 

Group “La Banda Del Patio” COOPERATIVE LEARNING

About the exposition of this group, I think that it was a normal exposition because they have the same concept that the rest. I have to tell one thing that I like of this group and it is their equipment plan. Here, they told us how we have to assement kids like a teacher. 

You can evaluate session each day how you want as individual or in group. I think that in this evaluation is necessary to consider the assessment of teaching practice, where the teacher must be assessed himself as the resources used, such as materials that she uses in class.

The steps that they told us to make the group organization are so clear and interesting because you like a teacher have to now the different objectives that you want to improve. Children have to know these steps to work well in group.

Group “The differents” COOPERATIVE LEARNING

In general I liked the exposition because was well. They called my attention when they told us the difference between the technique of peer – tutoring and when the teacher gives one topic to the class and the first kid that finish start to help to other classmate.

I know that they have had a wrong with the advantages and the disadvantages but I understand why they have put in the project.  In the last trimester we saw the cooperative learning in didactic and we found information about that. In a book that talked about the cooperative learning had this advantages and disadvantages and we saw important this information for that I think that they put it in the project.

Other thing that I liked was when the group has talked about the “notebook team” because I think that it’s important teachers have this in class to put all information and several things about the process of the children working in group, individual, behaviour…

The examples about the explication were so clear and help me to understand some things of the project, like the assement.

Group "Futupasta" COOPERATIVE LEARNING

In this last exposure I want to highlight three important points that have been treated:

1. With Cooperative learning we work "Inclusive Education", accepting the others in their differences; everyone learning to learn work in group.
2. I want to highlight the importance of using the technique of Team Games Tournament as a resource to bring in the classroom cooperative learning. Once you have finished cards and points must be distributed to collect the reward, the teacher will not give points based on the position or the number of cards held by each team, so this way he would be rewarding knowledge . What the teacher want with this technique is that the child can develop skills and learn values that help him in his daily, so what is the share rewards, aid to other classmates, the behavior of each member of the group with the other classmates, respect.
3. Assessment. I can write about different ways to evaluate this method, and for each of them graphically have presented us how to perform different tables with corresponding evaluation items.
• Of the teachers themselves.
• Evaluate other group members and to oneself.
• Assessment by the teacher as  he has carried out the process of cooperative learning.
• To evaluate to students this group has chosen a visual assessment, for example, with stars. The stars have implicit positive message for children, the teacher has just changed the number of stars. The message that he wants to leave is that all class have made a good job making the project, thereby avoiding competitiveness teacher in the classroom.

OUR PROJECT " LOS ROLKINDS"

LOS ROLKIDS

Group "Escuela of Bocation" COOPERATIVE LEARNING

In this exposition I want to write about "Multiple intelligences", with this theory can change the way teachers and students think about learning. A simple test which shows which intelligences students are strong in can really give them a new perspective. It can get them to change their attitude towards their own intelligence and learning and raise their self-esteem. For example, if a student learns that he is strong in Sciences Natural intelligence but doesn't excel in logical-mathematical intelligence he can get a whole new perspective on his abilities and change his views about learning. He could practice his stronger intelligence and develop his weaker intelligences. I believe that is very important for teacher to focus on students strengths and the "Multiple intelligences" theory can help with that.
For that, the cooperative learning can help to develop intelligences multiples between students in the same classroom, and it is going to make that students become more autonomous.
For this to take correctly into the classroom the teacher has to be concrete, define each skill, start step by step, not overload the students and make this method often.

The last Tuesday we saw the cooperative learning presentations of three groups, all of them had the principal ideas of this way of learning, and they show us their project and each member of the groups talked about the content of their work.

A point of a work of my pupils that has caught my attention has been the slogans, this is very interesting because is a way to motive the well-being of the class, in which we can find : “No worries, No guts, Attitude is everything, Don’t worry be happy, impossible is nothing, Never give up, Failure is not an option…” and few more. I think that I will put this slogans in my future class, that will be done by my students each years.

Inclusive philosophy:

All the groups have talked about this directly and indirectly because the cooperative learning is connected with the inclusive learning. I have understood this like a design, where students, people work always together, sharing with the rest of the group, participate together and learn from others. This make that students achieve some abilities that are very important in the daily life of a person, like: establish a relationship (diversity, different thoughts, mind, culture…), they achieve individual strengths and goals with the help of the others, and with the effort of each one.

Jigsaw:

This is a very interesting technique. The students of a class are divided in groups, and each member of the groups has a topic and has to prepare it, understand it… and then a students meet with their expert group and talk about their topic, and then they have to return to their first group to show what they have learnt, and explain their topic so the most important 

of this technique is that all students learn on all topics that are being explained in the class.

Web Quest:

This is a resource which is like a tool to help students; parents and teachers on develop of the children. This is a complementary way of learning, in where students can find different webs of each subject to explore about it, and to get more information, where the teacher uploads the content and put the homework, and the activities for the children. The parents can look it to help their students or to know what their students are leaning, their homework…

So is a very useful tool to the education.

 Sociometric test:

This is a very useful tool to make student’s groups, and to value the situation of each one. In this there are few different questions which answer the children with who they would like to be in a project, in a work, or with who would like to play…

With this test the teacher can see the situation of the students in the class and try to solve the problems, the minuses and try to increase the pluses

Cooperative learning: ''Futupasta''

This group don't have the same time to presentate the topic, who is the cooperative learning, also they introduced a little index with the explanation of what they are going to present to the class, but this group made something more, they made the job with another program and it was very original and very visual so this is the one think that I really like.
I can not learn so much things about cooperative learning having seen five works until that moment but this group sorprised everyone because they only put the real things that are interesting and that anybody hae talked about it before.
They have talked about the philosophy in the inclusive education, I have talked about it in one post before. They have talked about the Team Assisted Individualization, each student work about the same topic with a specific program, and about the Teams-Games Tournament, where the teacher give a topic to talk and the heterogeneous group have to game with something related with that topic.
Also they give the answer to work better and more times, we can meet with skype and work with google docs, where verybody can add something and it is very interesting the methods of meeting of this group. Also the roles in class have to change, the tutor have to be tutored. 
One of the things that we have to pay more attention is in the form of evaluate, this group exposed with funny faces and the differents topics to work in the job and they can put it to know where they fall and where they are nice explaining that.
I really like this group and I think that the presentation was great with the little time that they have to exposed.

Cooperative learning: ''School of bocation''

This group has talked about the cooperative learning. To begin they exposed a little index where they have differentiated the team plan and the guide, in the team plan they exposed how they worked in it and how much time they have been used to do it, of course in this point they made a little introduction about the topic.
I think that this group have worked a lot inside and outside of the university because they have all about the cooperative learning, also they made the presentation funny putting the videos about the minions and the penguins, there are so funny.
They also have included the inclusive philosophy, I have talked about that in the post before, thay also add something that is very important to work with this method that is the multiple intelligences, the students can work in any way and they can use any method that helps them for learning. They also have talked about the rules that everyone in the classroom must respect for a better work and the different parts of the team notebook, explaining everything.
Also they add the most importat thing in this method that it is that the teacher has to be a scaffolding, they can help they students to grow in their knowlegde but they can not raise to the end, also the teacher must have a planning for work, the dates when he is going to make the presentations, the dates here he is going to make the expert groups, everything, they have to prepare all. The autonomy of the class falls in the teacher, but the real autonomy falls in the students because without this members of the class is not possible to work or to do anything else. The form of evaluation have to be clear, concise and correct, paying attention to the evolution of each student, as they worked in groups and individually and if they have helped others to advance their cognitive development.
To sum up, I think that it is very well explained and it contains all.

Cooperative Learning: ''Rigatoni's angels''

The presentation, like the other groups, is about the cooperative learning, but this group at first they have shown that cooperative learning should be a subject in our education system so both teachers and students can know what it is and can used it when is possible.

This group has also shown us too many new and innovative things, but two things more important and the other groups forgetted comment.

The first of this is that group members are chosen by the teacher knowing the city where we live, the experience outside the university, sex and other things, this is very important because the teacher knows the people how compose the group consciousness. And the other thing is that the class must have a philosophy, a few slogans, even a box where they remember the motivations, to work better and to realize everything right knowing what is their goal and they can work better if they see this little motivations in the wall of the class.

I think that they can used the cooperative learning in any type of class.
