My ideal school, Sara Mora

To start, introduction:

After reading the texts to do the work we get ideas to explain our work; at first, what we saw as the first essential point was make it clear that students had to be according to a series of values such as respect, freedom and companionship. We saw important that our students receive classes of ethic  to be good citizens of a society in the future and that, therefore, they knew to live in society. Other facts which I will later explain and which also had great importance in our work the environment, the opinion of the students in the decisions of College, problem solving, and various classrooms to develop intelligence.

For the videos that we saw in class, I found it quite interesting, the first video, Takaharu tezuka. This school located in Tokyo known for its architecture, it has a cylindrical shape with a large courtyard in the middle of this ceiling is at once a playground where children play and have fun.

Second video, Ken Robinson talks about education and creativity; follows the idea of kids quizzes and you don't mind being wrong, since it is a way of learning, this idea seems entirely correct in education.

Principal ideas:

In terms of our work, what we wanted to show mainly was that all ideas read and views on the subject can be put into practice, moreover, there are numerous schools in the world that applies them and are getting very good results. Among schools that we found after some investigation, we highlight Finland, USA, Indonesia and the Netherlands. Each of these schools was notable for a specific reason.

Starting with Finland, emphasizes that it causes the group work, attaches great importance to the arts or physical education subjects that enhance the performance of students in addition that helps them to explore on their learning. The case of the following school will not let us indifferent, is in Indonesia, it stands out for its infrastructure with the environment in mind. Thanks to the environmental conditions of the school, the infrastructure is made from bamboo has no windows and is looking for students to become aware in terms of the environment. In the terms of use, we have selected this school because, as with most schools in States United they give great importance to sports and co-curricular activities, thus developing some values such as leadership, see which vital for their future professional. Finally we wanted to highlight the Netherlands, specifically school Steve Jobs, since he attaches great importance to the use of the technology in the classroom, today's society in which children grow is essential to that school fit that reality, in this case, with the technology as a tool for learning.

After explaining the ideas that we had caught every school already existing we propose our ideal school where these ideas also appeared.

As I have explained above, we seek our students give classes of ethics where to learn to respect others and their opinion, without discriminating anyone for being different in some aspect. We are looking for students to work together so be aware of each other and you feel gratified to the trabajr and achieve results, among them, the provacion of the group thanks to their ideas, trabajran projects, so they themselves will have to seek information following the guidelines of the professor.

 There will be areas such as gardening or an area of trees where children learn how to take care of the environment and the important thing is for our well-being. We believe that historically, in the traditional school, has been the student that not valid to solve their own problems, with those who never solcionan their own issues that they influence them; for this reason we have decided to create a student Council where students collect their concerns and their ideas about the College, these shall be taken into account and thus students also take care over a school that come also as his.

We believe that it is important that students find what they really like and how they really learn (multinteligencia) so we enable different classrooms as plastic, music, which is soundproof, classroom or laboratories, in turn organize outings to museums and exhibitions so they can learn in a didactic; on numerous occasions, we find with students who are better aware of the explanation of a musical form, for example, making the alphabet songs, we want to promote these types of education for any student of feel insufficient or invalid for any subjects

Regarding the use of the technologies, intend to be a digital Whiteboard in each classroom and that, every two students have a tablet, so they communicate with others and use technologies, that if, so they have a certain responsibility, we think that these materials annually ranging through the following in pursuing this degree, thus see it as a material used by all that we must take care.

Today we have the mistake of continually evaluating students, we believe that it is a great option that will evaluate children only from 5th course and always have the same teacher, a tutor who follow their learning and learn them in a more individual way regarding the videos we have seen, the first school in Tokyo I liked, I share many of the overconfident that defends, for example that have both spaces for students and children to play, have fun and discover; children are not machines, should turn is good fall and then follow, snag, etc. They are in contact with the naruralez, in each class we find a tree and there are many sources where the kids can play with water; children need seguin says this man, to develop noise, I don't entirely agree with this, I think children need a quiet environment to learn, although by what we said, some surprising results. The building is quite under so it is more in keeping with the students and...

In the second video, it talks about the importance of creativity and how it passes unnoticed  in schools.  Creativity should be just as important as learning maths, or learn a new language. Children prove, they try although they make mistake, our idea about it is wrong, you need to give a correct answer, on the other hand, must teach children that when you think different ideas to solve a problem and it is wrong is not a mistake, there are different forms of know the answer and you only have to keep going.

About the works of our partners:

Each group explained with detail the aspects that wanted to try in their school through videos, were very creative in terms of ideas for videos refer, some followed the theme of their groups as dumbledor team who created his school from scenes of the famous saga of films and Harry Potter books, other groups chose to make a sequence of images, which take a long time and a lot of effort.

In terms of content, I think that all groups have impacted on the same topics and have understood the readings in a similar way although each group has focused on a part.

Starting from dumbledoreteachers army team; Group formed by Gema Gutierrez, Ada Licu, Gonzalo, and María Schnell; they were based mainly on making visible the problems that can be found in current education, such as bullying. Modern students, group formed by Elia, Shabaneh, Borja, Patricia and Maria Encinas, similar to the previous group followed its theme (modern family) to explain his ideal school, I point out that I found that it is much workgroup back and assess. In this work focused above all on the idea that children learn by projects, where cooperation between student and teacher was essential, this paper also defended that parents could attend college. An idea that found quite interesting was the idea to integrate some pets in the classroom, in this way, children adquire some responsibility and feel useful to see that adults let them carry this task.

My ideal school would pick up many of the ideas said by my colleagues as well as by my group, the building would be big enough and would have a fairly extensive playard, the structure of the building I think it would be rather like the school we saw in Japan video, It looks a great innovation and the building has all of the functionality.

The school would promote values such as solidarity, empathy, respect, etc. Work in group, based on projects, it is importan that school takes care of the environment and use of solar energy, if the environmental conditions allow it, would use large windows that remain open. Another idea is that as much as possible language teachers would be native so students develop communicative competence of speech and not only learn grammar as currently.

Use of the Center by the community in this way all would take care of the building, they would see it as something public, as a place where you can be quiet reading and so on. 

I have put all my ideas about my ideal school in my concept map.

Conclusion:

I think is quite hard to create a school with all thing that we want in it, with this job I have learn more about what a school is and what kind of thing we can do to promote that children learn and like school.
