The blog that I chose was “English class” written by María León. Her blog have 12 posts about different topics that we have been working in class.
Essentially, I like the color of background, is a green very intense, really beautiful color. Almost all posts have a photograph according to topic. Other important point, for me, present in this blog is that blog have a list with all our names, this is a good option for who are forgetful.
In general, I think that is a blog very complete, with all topics that we have been seeing during the semester.
Particularly I like the post with named “Skills” in which she speaks about her career, psychology, and the skills or abilities that the students of these career needs in their process. Personally, I consider very interesting the psychology like knowledge area and I think that I have this kind of skills that she mentions. Many times I asked myself if I could be a good student of psychology, overcoat when I was “younger”. But… I'm not sure what happened in the way, anyway I'm not regretful of my career.

About her English, I think that its very good, maybe because I consider that I don't know write very well in English, but I understand without problems her posts, are clears and precise.
In my opinion, respect to her blog, she could warrant her posts, with the intention that it look more organized, but in general I like it so much.

Schools are killing the creativity

The education is an extend topic, but it has secondary topics that are necessary to work. One of them is the creativity, and how the schools are involved with development of this.
Ken Robinson says that the schools are killing the creativity of children, the teachers and the education in general, emphasize just some areas of body like brain essentially. Actually, in Chile happen some similar. The schools impose to children a way of work in the classroom. In the last years our country had been worried of scores obtain of SIMCE, like if the results of this kind of “test” is the only parameter of development of children. But, what happen with abilities like arts?, paint? dance? Children have a tremendous talent and we don`t value it.

This topic interest me a lot, I will be a teacher, and I don`t fall in the practice in an education that not consider a complete development of children. For me, is very important and urgent that the education have others priorities in the learning of childhood.
The futures teachers must be promote of an integral education. Many times developing artistic skills, others skills are developed without the need of children keep sit down all the time.
Children need liberty of choice and decision, the imagination can open ways of learning with a sense much more significant for their. The world has been change, and the educational practice should do it too.

Zoom

I don’t want to be auto-reference, but I took this photo in my first initial practice at school “República de Alemania” which is locates in neighborhood Yungay. There, I had an unforgettable experience, because I watched a hard reality. The school “República de Alemania” is a public and multicultural stablemen which receive essentially children from countries like Perú, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, between others less massive. The context present in that place is a great challenge for teachers, but I felt that teachers were not committed to their students, the teacher of the course that I watched, maltreated psychologically to children, it was horrible!

The violence, mono-parental families, boys and girls with alcoholic parents, are elements that affect in educative process.
The picture was took it in May, 2009. The school celebrated the “day of student” with different recreational activities for all students. The boys of the picture have around fourteen years old, but they are not student of grade where I was. I remember that two of them are from Perú, and the first (in the picture) is chilean.

I love this picture because I like the contrast that produces with the background and their color of skin. As well, the smile of the third boys is very natural and intense. It was a great capture.
When I look this picture, I think many thing respect schools and teacher without vocation. Is unbelievable how these children needs love, affection. This kind of experience motivate me to continue working and studying my career.

The best sister, my best friend

During my life, I have been had bad experiences with friends (overcoat with girls). Almost always the relationships broken or something happen. Maybe I’m a complicated person. But exist somebody who always has been with me, she is my sister. Although when we were little girls, we quarreled so much, now that she has twenty five years old, and I have twenty years old, we have a friendly relationship. I know she like nobody, her likes, things that she hates, fears, her favorite food and movies. Everything!

Our likes are compatible, but I must admit that my character is stronger. We both prefer healthy food, but we love the sweet food: waffles, ice creams, chocolates…. When we stay together we laugh a lot sawing our photographs or when remember something. Also we watch dramatics movies or comedies about love. We enjoyed so much together and even more so when we are with mom.
She is a great person, very imaginative and creative, I love that. She is energetic, very positive woman, always give good vibrations! This is a big difference with me, I’m nostalgic, a passive person, I try to be calm in determinates situations. She is explosive, I mean is not angry, but maybe reactive and sensitive girl.
Many times we have been distance, but a short period of time, never nothing serious, just disagreement of sister (clothes borrowed, lost things. This kind of situations)

Sadly… she decided going to live with her boyfriend to Viña del Mar. I think that she has a great future like an ambient designer (her career).
