Week 2, Blog post by the Journalist, Pedro

After expose our personal presentations, we started our work-group about “Ideas related to education”, and each member of our group chose a role for the week. Along two days before presentation we have used WhatsApp and Facebook to communicate each other and prepared it.

Every Ladies and Gentlemen’s member took an idea and then we chose the five ones that we would expose in class. We took a picture related to these ideas and talked a little about them. The ideas are:

• Teaching has to be helping the others to learn, not just forcing them to listen.

• Using technology in class, to make every pupil is involve with the subject. It represents the importance of technology in our education and how can it affects students.

• Children mirror adults in good and bad habits. It represents the education through examples and the importance of an adult as a role model for a child.

• How to use mathematics (algebra or geometry) outdoors school.

• Learning with music, that raises the question about the use of music to learn.

At the same time our group’s “star” was exposing our ideas to different people in class, we rotated listening to another different group’s “stars” and trying to identify the meaning of each picture the “star” was telling us about, ending in a global “star” explanation to the whole class.

This week I have found those two blogs:

- www.http://villaves56.blogspot.com

It is about learning with social networks, so I think that could be very useful.

- http://www.unicoos.com

It uploads different videos on internet related to different lessons of different subjects in any academic grade. I really recommend this link because it was very useful for me to pass some subject on Bachillerato. 😇
