WRITE A SHORT EMAIL TO FRIEND TELLING HIM OR HER ABOUT YOUR PLANS OF THE FUTURE.

Dear Olga,

How are you? I’m very happy.

Finally I have finished my studying so now I’m a new teacher!

These days I’m thinking about my future, about children… in general I’m thinking about all my new life.

Maybe I will go to England this year because I would like to learn more English…

Nowadays it is very important to know different languages because we live in a global world, with different cultures and different styles of life, so I think if you want to know about it you must learn languages.

By the way, my friend Daniel last week told me that in a Kindergarden they need a teacher.

He can help me because he knows the headteacher. Maybe I could speak to him and tell him about my experience with children, what do you think? Is it a good idea?

Please write soon, I miss you a lot.

TRADITIONAL METHODOLOGIES ARE STILL BETTER THAN MODERN METHODOLOGIES.

Today new education tries to include modern methodologies in the classroom.

Nowadays new methodologies and new technologies are thought to be more important than in the past because today they are necessary for this present and also for the future.

Teachers try to engage students with a new approach.

For example if you want to teach English language you can do it with a song.

Children sing a song, they feel happy and at the same time they learn new vocabulary.

But still there are teachers that prefer traditional methodologies because they think they are only way to learn.

For example teachers that try to teach only with book, without participation.

They believe that learning the lesson is necessary to pass the exam.

To conclude, I’m fascinated with modern methodologies although they are slow and maybe a little hard.

Do you think that the responsibility of Education is only for school? What happens with families and the government?

WRITE A SHORT EMAIL TO A FRIEND TELLING HIM OR HER ABOUT YOUR FIRST YEAR AL COLLEGE.

Dear Susan,

How are you? I’m a little worried with my first year al University.
In fact, I don’t know if I want to continue studying next year.
I think there are a lot of things to do a part from studying , it’s doing a lot of homework, a lot of group work…and at this moment I don’t have so much time. I’, quite stressed.
I also need to find a job, now this is my first priority because I need some money, so I don’t know what will happen next.
What do you think about it Susan? Is it a good idea?
I miss you so much, maybe I could come to visit you, what do you think?
This kind of things is better talked over face to face, isn’t it?
So if you think the same please tell me something about it in your next letter and I’ll try to visit you next weekend.
Then I hope to see you soon.

ICT IS THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION DISCUSS

Nowadays ICT are very important in our life. If you want to move in this society it is necessary to know about ICT. The world is changing quickly.

The majority of families have a computer. Computers are one of the most important tools at this moment. In all the jobs it is necessary to work with computers, for example, so you need to know about them.

For this reason children need to learn to use it as soon as possible, because in the future they will develop their abilities in this area without problems.

On the other hand, although teachers help children to use this tool, they must also show them how to develop their creativity and imagination.
For example they can ask children to use the computer for to draw with it or use the mobile phone to take a creative picture.

To conclude, I think ICT are very positive in our society. We can know more about news, we can find a lot of information, we can communicate with all the people in the world… but what about the families that don’t have a computer, for example? Can children that don’t have a computer integrate into the society?

Aprendizaje significativo

Creeis que se trata de un aprendizaje significativo? En mi opinión sí, el video refleja la constancia y la confianza que el niño va cogiendo a medida que ve sus resultados. Refleja la teoria de un aprendizaje humano. Mediante la fantasía y la imaginación el mensaje final que interpreto es que todo lo que se haga con un sentimiento verdadero tiene un mágico resultado final.

Dos blogs interesantes

• Passet a passet

Considero este blog interesante ya que mantiene un aire positivista y enérgico respecto a la educación. Jaime Olmos, comenta es su última noticia “Cuando los árboles nos impiden ver el bosque…” que existe una gran belleza a nuestro alrededor, que malgastamos demasiado tiempo en reconocer verdades que actualmente consideramos obstáculos para un mejor desarrollo en el ámbito educacional, no obstante él nos anima a sacar a relucir, cuidar y disfrutar de ésa belleza que nos rodea.

Habla también de las TIC, que actualmente están abarcando e introduciéndose a una velocidad prácticamente invisible y comenta que no hay que permitir tampoco que nos lleguen a nublar, refiriéndose al hecho de que siempre hay que tener en cuenta, se haga lo que se haga si realmente el alumnado lo necesita.

• Rafael Robles

Navegando por diferentes páginas web, encontré ésta que en concreto me llamó la atención por la noticia que actualmente consta publicada : “Ha muerto Matthew Lipman”. Hasta entonces no había oído hablar de este señor y resulta ser un filósofo, padre del programa “Filosofía para niños”, a través del cual ayudaba a los niños a pensar de forma crítica para así de esta forma favorecer a su desarrollo. Los niños, desde preescolar aprenden a pensar de una forma autónoma y a expresar sus propias ideas.
He creido interesante adjuntar un video de una escuela que está aplicando este programa y en el cual se detalla la metodología que emplean.

Mamá, quiero ser viejo / El Adarve

Lo que me ha llamado lo atención de este artículo, en un primer momento, ha sido el título del mismo: Mamá, quiero ser viejo.

Al descubrir tras su lectura el contenido de éste me ha hecho reflexionar, y más precisamente porque yo misma estoy cursando el Grado para en un futuro poder ejercer como maestra y, el hecho que un niño de diez años llegue a pensar como dice Miguel Ángel Santos Guerra que: “... desea tener canas para quedarse en casa viendo la televisión.” es importante para empezar a plantearse que puede estar sintiendo el niño para tener esa actitud e inapetencia frente a la escuela.

Este artículo refleja la necesidad de fomentar una enseñanza de carácter constructivista, en la cual el niño pueda sentirse parte de la escuela y a su vez sienta el deseo de aprender en ella.

A raíz del artículo he sentido curiosidad por saber más sobre el libro que mencionan: “Por qué tengo que ir a la escuela?” y aunque todavía no he podido leerlo completo, es cierto que es un libro guía que puede ayudar a los niños, padres y maestros a ampliar su visión de la escuela.
