Summary of us

Here you have a summarize about the funniest moments in this subject:



















Jounalist of the week

Hi everybody!
I am Natalia and I am the journalist this week.
On Monday we didn't have class with Linda because she was feeling sick and she couldn't come to the university until twelve o'clock and the School organization and educational resources had just finished. So, for this week we didn't have to do any work because next Wednesday is the exam of this subject and we had to prepare and ePortfoloio in Google sites. We were working on it all Monday morning and afternoon until very late. Then, we met up again on Tuesday to finish the ePortfolio but also for preparing our oral exam by groups.
On Friday, it was the last class with Linda on both subjects (school organization and educational resources and Research and ICT) so we were asking her some doubts about the ePortfolio and about the two oral exams that we are going to have in the next three weeks. After that, she said to us some words that were really moving because she said us that we must never loose our motivation and fresh thinking, that we must continue learning English but we do it really well.

That's all for this course and this is how our first year at university finish :)

See you and I hope you liked our work!
Best wishes and good luck

Journalist summary

HI! I´m Antonio Luis, the journalist of the week, and I´m going to make a summary of our week.


Firstly, on Monday, we were talking about Educational system, but in a special way. We tried to compare our educational system in Spain with others, concretely with Finish educational system. We saw a video in which people, who appear in the video, try to explain how education works in Finland. They talk about the timetable, the budget, the schools...


After watched it, Linda asked what are the difference that we saw in the video between both system. After each one, she made a reflexion about the situation in Spain and the situation in Finland. For exmple she talked about the difference in the timetable (Finish students have a 15 minutes break after each class); she talked about the languages ( they study three languages at the same time)...


We could talk about many topics, and maybe, the conclusion, after know the situation, more or less, in both countries, could be that we should imitate Finish educational system, because they have better academic results, students like that they do, so they didn´t have problems about scholar failure... There are many reason which say that Finish system is better than Spanish one. lso, we have to say that it isn´t only better than Spanish system, mybe it could be the best system of Europe.


On Friday, we had a funny class. Firstly, we were talking about the kind of oral exam question. This is important to know because we can prepare better our exam. Then, Linda asked us for a favour: We had to record some videos.


Those videos are going to be part of an dvertisement which try to animate teachers to go to a Pechackucha season as every year. The season consist of some presentation make for several teachers who talk about some topics. The main idea is that those presentation have to be in a Peachakucha way and try to do the meeting nicer.


We had to record the following sentence: "20 slides; 20 second". It was so funny.


That´s all about our week! Write you soon

Analyst' questions :)

This week we have made three different activities so I am going to try to analyze all of them: the first one was the videos about the Finnish Educational System, the second was to revise the question for the oral exam and the third was making some videos for a conference. Let's go!

What was the worst part of the activity?

I think that there wasn’t any bad part in any of these three activities because we have learnt about other educational system and about the exam we are going to do next 23rd of May.
 

What was the best moment of the week (work wise)?

The best moment of watching the videos was to learn how works the education in other countries and how different it is! The best moment of the questions about the exam was to know how it was going to be exam and seeing that it won’t be as difficult as we thought. Talking about making the videos for the conference I think that we spent a lovely time together as a group class and we supported each other.


 What was the worst moment of the week?

In my opinion, the worst moment of the week was when we realized that the Spanish Educational System is not as efficient as it should be. We must see how other countries are working in terms of education because they had better results.
 

What have you learnt?

I have learnt about the Finnish Educational System and about how important it is to conserve in mind that we are a group of people who have the same interests and we need to help each other.


What do you need to conserve as a group for next week?

I think that we know how to enjoy ourselves when we are relaxing while doing the work.



What do you need to improve as a group for next week?

I think we must meet up more frequently together because it is really difficult because of we live in different places and it is very problematic.

See you next week and the last one! :)
