Ken Robinson`s Conference

Hi today I going to write about the conference of Ken Robinson in February 2006, Monterey, California. He says that creativity is losing interest in the education area but he thinks that creativity is as important as literacy
He criticizes the ways that people considerate the education actually and puts an example that show like today we stigmatize mistakes, then this mistakes are the worst thing you can make. When people see mistakes of this way, they are putting limits to the creative capacities of students and their capacities for innovation because a mistake mean the open of mind to other idea or other way to carry out a situation
I am agree with Ken Robinson, because the most important thing in education is developing the creativity in children since they enter to educative system when they are three or four years old (even before that) until they finish their schools studies.
Now, if he says that the artistic subjects could be more considerate, I think that maths and language are really very important. Maybe the interesting is in the way to learn Scientifics and humanistic subjects because if teachers are creative they can promote a teaching based in developing the creativity, and let children learns of their mistakes.

One of the missions of teacher could be discover the talents of each one of his students and use it to improve the difficulty that they can have to learn a specific subject. For example if a child prefer drawing in class, teacher could learn to read drawing the letters or painting this.
Not only are important the academic abilities, is also important the corporal expressions. For children is very boring attended to school and dedicate only to be sitting and writing all time looking at the blackboard and one can confirm this with the own experience.

My favourite Photograph ^^

Hi! Today I going to talk you about my favourite photograph, it was taken by my dad during a Christmas Day when I was six years old in 1996. I like this picture because my mother loves it too, it is always in her purse and she put it in the Christmas tree each year. I remember exactly when my dad take it because my brother, my sister and me was very anxious waiting for Santa Claus and we were not wanted to move of the Christmas tree jajaja... then my dad said us that would be a good idea take a photograph because we always was fighting and this day we was playing nicely and wearing our new clothe that mom bought for us for each Christmas.

In the picture is our small Christmas tree that was armed and decorated by we three and our mother and my dad put the play of lights. My sister and I (when we were smaller) always made adornments of decoration and for this year we made angels of paper that mum put in the middle of the tree.

Really is a nice keepsake for me and when my dad gave this photograph to my mom she loved it immediately. Also it brings memories to me of the old house that we had when we lived in Renca. I liked these house so much because it had a big patio and in the back part there had two rooms were my sister and me was all day playing together. Because when I watch this photography I would like have the six years of age that I was for that Christmas.

My sister... my best friend!!

Hi! Today I am going to talk you about my best friend. Firstly, is need to mention that is very difficult for me speak about one person like my best friend because I haven´t a lot of friends and I don´t accustomed to speak many about me and what I feel. However I have best partners with those who I talk for hours without boring to us and we laugh so much.

If now I have to refer me to a person who I consider my best friend I think that I must choose to my sister. I think that she is the person who knows me more. She is two years minor than me and we are really very united. We have no many things in common, in fact we have a very different personality, but however we always talk about what happen to us, although we fight so much but we always forget our differences and we try to solve our problems. We spend a lot of time talking about ours preoccupations, ours dreams, ours situations of each day and many things more that make of my sister a person very important in my life who really I love.

We have always slept in the same bedroom, this is sometimes not good because we fight for example about what we like show in television or if one like sleep with the ignited light or keep the window open, etc. But we are accustomed to sleep together and it is very funny too.

I don´t like remember about a big argument between us because this has been one or twice but for situations very complicated for my sister and me in our life.

In school time we don´t talk so much because ours timetables are very different and we see ourselves only at night. But in holidays we are always together and she do things that I like and I also do things that she like.

I love my sister and is very difficult for me to imagine my life without her.

Skills in my area of study...

Hi! Today I’m going to talk you about the main skills in my area of study. Firstly, like a future professional education I think that is very important for us be motivated and have real interest in this area. Also is very important develop different skills that let us have a good hold in our pedagogical practice. For example be patient, creative and enthusiastic to attract student’s attention and of this way improve the education, generating students whit wants to learn. This is very important because many times the fail school is connected with the methods of education developed by teachers and a good teacher must be able to recognize the principal problems of student when they are learning.
Other skills we must take into account that are to have always like objective to improve the quality of education being something really necessary today in the educational system and for stimulate the equal of opportunities especially in school that belong at the municipal system.
In my opinion the skills that are inborn by who choose work in this area are the enthusiastic and motivation. Also is inborn (in the career that I study) to have a special connection whit children and be patient…very patient. And skills that are learnt are principally doing connection between the elements of the theory that we learn in the University with the capacity to apply this in the practice, for example to recognize a learning problem.
I think that in the University, we don`t acquired the skill necessaries to be a good professional because this University only are interesting in the investigation area and we hardly ever have subjects that let us develop a good class. Would be appropriate for us have subjects of didactic and first aid.
Finally because all mentioned I believe that I don`t really prepares for my work wise but maybe whit practice I can do it!

I love my notebook!

The best technological invention for me are the notebook, this machine has been really wonderful for me. My dad bought me a notebook in October, 2009 because I liked it so much and I was all last year saving up money, but it was not enough, then my dad gave me the rest of money I needed. Since I have my notebook I use it all time while I stay at home, and is really very important for me because it lets me do my homework, investigation works, doing social life, download music, videos, etcetera.

Before I had to use a computer in the study room that was used by my sister, my brother and my mother and it was sometimes very complicated, mainly when my brothers and me needed computer to study. Also in winter many times I had to stay in the room sitting in front of the computer doing a work with a blanket and the stove because the hands were frozen to me and I couldn´t write.

However with my notebook I can use it wherever (and where it reaches to receive WiFi signal) and it is a great benefit because I now can stay doing homework or connected to messenger from my bed and at nights I don´t feel cold so much like before.

I like my notebook, it is my prefer technological machine and one that really has changed my life. I love it so much! If I didn´t have it maybe I still would have to hope that my brothers vacate the computer and I hated it.

Iquique, my favourite trip

Hello! Today I am going to talk about my trip at the capital of first region, Iquique. I visit this place this year for the summer holydays in January. This was the first time I travelled by plane, because my dad said that by car it could be really stressful. The fly lasted two hours approximately and it was very exciting for me.
This trip was in family, I went whit my parents, my sister and my brother and we stayed there for a week. In this time we all days went to Cavancha beach. Also we did a motorboat ride to visit a place in the sea where stay the Esmeralda`s rests, sinked during the Naval Combat of Iquique, on May, 21, 1879. We went to shopping three days at ZOFRI, the traditional Frank Zone of Iquique; this is a great commercial center. Here we bought many things like perfumes, electrical appliances, and innovators things to price.
Undoubtedly, my favourite place that I visited in this trip was Pica. Here we did a guided tour to Saltpeter Office Humberstone, declared a National Monument. This is a very interesting place because is great and has got many old buildings, like a hospital, a theater, a nice square, a church, a little museum and the jobs instruments of the working-class. Humberstone is a full history place and really fantastic! I enjoyed so much visiting it.

"Maria Montessori" a model to follow...

Hi, today I am going to speak about Maria Montessori. She was born on August 31, 1870 in Italy, was physician, educator, philosopher, humanitarian and devout Catholic.
Firstly she study in a technical school to becoming an engineer, then she study biology and finally she was accepted in the Medicine Faculty at University of Rome. In 1986 she was graduated how the first woman doctor in her country.
However she is best known for her philosophy and the Montessori Method of education of children from birth to adolescence. She based her idea in the respect to child and in their learning capacity. Children haven`t be a parent`s reproduction and imperfect teachers but children must be seen like a hope for the humanity, because I admire her.
Montessori Method has been since 1907, when Maria Montessori created the first children’s house in Roma (Italy). The work of Maria Montessori was not only develop a new method of learn, but also discover the life and help to child to achieve his potential like human. And developing this potential through of senses in a prepared environment and using the scientific observation of a trained teacher. Of this Way children have the opportunity of learn and use freedom from of the years of developing.
Finally the education method Montessori is the capacity of teacher to love and respect to children like persons and be sensitive to their needs and her educational method is in use today in a number of public as well as private schools throughout the world.
