Schools kill creativity

Hi, today I to talk about a talk by Sir Ken Robinson, “Schools kill creativity”. Sir Ken Robinson speaks to us about the importance of the creativity in the schools system.   

Sir Ken Robinson talks about how the education Systems are organizad in general. It refers to that creativvity is left out of educational space, but from their point of view, creativity shlould have the same space as the literacy.

Creativity ir forgottem for two rehaznos, Fritz because it stigmatizes the mistake, because it is taught that wrong is the worts that can happen, and the fear not create something new and therefore misses the creativity in children and also in adults.  And second is the prioritization of subjets given  in the schools, math and lenguaje are more important than artistic subjects like arts, music, dance and theater,  but Why is this hierarchization?, Why education is focused in the head, leaving the body?. Regarding this, Sir Ken Robinson said that education systems are based on academic ability, because thet arise to supply the needs of industrialization, the subjects are more useful the more serve to work, leaving out many talented people.   

Sir Ken Robinson finally proposes to rethink the fundamental principles of education, and currently is running out a single resource –the ability academic- being that the people hace many resources, aims to educate people more complete.  

I think the conference Sir Ken Robinson is a very interesting proposal in education, so that speech can be seen anywhere in the world, in Chile and even in education that we receive. For example, the last year in Chile was proposed and carried out the reduction in hours of arts and technology, to increase the hours of language and mathematics, with special emphasis on these areas. It is important to assess the human as a whole and not only to emphasize academic skills, as these are a part of it and in doing so we may leave out important aspects of the person.

A photograph

What memories! Hi classemates, today  I will show you a picture that reminds me very very nice moments. This photo was token in the summer 2010, while vacationing in Valparaiso, a beautiful holiday!, I went with my best friends –Carla, Andrés and Nicolás (he took the photografy)-.

In 2009, we were on vacation in Valparaiso because Gabriel – another friend- has a home in that city. And our week in Valparaiso just  coincided with the carnaval, it was great!

The carnival is really wonderful, in this edition there were many artists from different countries and many people in the streets, everyone was happy, singig and dancing until the morning.

This photo was taken the last day of carnival, this night we met with some friends and also we met many people from different places as Santiago, Brasil and Scotland, I remember that they played his bagpipe, while the people watched and applauded.

Oh, that nice holiday!

Bye bye!

Before Sunrise

Hi! Today I am going to talk about my favourite film; Before Sunrise. This movie was filmed in 1995, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke. 

Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) meet on a train that traveling to Europe. Celine is a French student who travels from Budapest to French; Jesse is a young American who traveling through Europe, after breaking his girlfriend in Spain. They are known on the way from Budapest to Vienna, but Jesse has a flight to EE.UU. and he has to wait in Vienna through the next day. Jesse convinces Celine to get off the train and walk together one night for Vienna -a magical night to remember forever-.

In the course of that night they visit many places in Vienna while they talk on various topics as life, death and sex. Finally they come to a park - is one of the best scenes in the movie- where it generates a great complicity between them. The next day they must be separated, and at the last moment, they decide to meet again in the same place (the station of Vienna) in six months later. 

I like this film because it tells a story about two people (very natural), which by coincidence or by fate the find love in one night, hoping to meet again in a more time. It's a simple story with a script that traps, which makes us part of the movie. There are also beautiful scenarios, as the little cemetery they visit, the record store, cable car, etc, that lets us know Vienna.

Ten years after being filmed “Before Sunset”, but that's not today's topic. 

Bye bye!

Stationary bike-desk hybrid generates energy to charge devices

Hi everyone.  Now goig to write about a very importante topic today. On the web  I found to news about  a new inventions  that produces clean energy. The invention is called WeBike, and is a “stationary bike, and pedaling creates electric energy to charge up devices (…) the “desk, made of aluminum, steel and cedar wood, uses an LED display to show how much power is being generated (…) The WeBike allow people to get work done, squeeze in some cardio and save environment”

The importance this news is caring for the planet, because they can charge small devices such as laptops, cell phones, music players, etc. If this invention is spread through the world –or inventes other- would have a great energy saving.

These inventions demonstrate the concern of people for the creation and utilization of clean and renewable energies. The energies are clean energy production system to the exclusion of any contamination, and also a system in which we dispose of all dangerous residue to our planet.

Therefore, this type energy has many benefist as produce less carbon dioxide emissions, are cheaper, less dependende on dirty energy, polluting and dangerous, and reduce the impact of climate change.

In conclusion, this news is only a small contribution to a topic that involves us all, in a cultural, social, economis, political topic; which over time becomes more and more relevant. 

Bye Bye!

My favourite piece of technology: My laptop

Hi everyone, today I going to write about technology. In our lives we have many technological objects; these objects have different functions as connect with the world, listen to music, inform, etc. But, the laptop is my favorite piece of technology, because it has many functions. My laptop my parents gave me when I finish school and I learned to use with the time. In the laptop I do many thing entertaining, I write, talk and see with many people: Bolivian and Argentine friends, friends of Santiago and also of regions; is very exciting to see and communicate whit people I love, but that is far. Also, I download and see movies that haven’t come to Chile -I have many many movies!-, I listen the favorite music and I can know to new singer o band.  

On my laptop I know what is happening in the world – read newspapers or watching news in the tv-. And since that I enter at the university, the laptop is very useful because the information of classes and the text for test, the teacher the send at mail. I use my laptop for studying, read and have homework –all information about university is saved there. At the moments I not imagine my life without my laptop, because I used it very day in everything I do.

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

Hi, now I going to talk about the most exciting concert of a great band, Los Fabulosos Cadillac’s.  The concert was 3 years ago, in October 2009, the place chosen for its concert was the “Club Hipico”, located in the city center.

I went with my best friends, we were anxious for listen to sing her songs, all her songs. We arrived early to the place, and even we had problems with the police! Before for the concert.

The reason the concert was that the band, “Los Fabulosos Cadillac’s”, was to be separated, was the last concert. The show was cool, the music sounded very very good and and the best was when they played “Siguiendo la luna”, wow! A great memory.

Here the link of the song.
Greetings =)
