Hello everybody! :D
Wow! What can I say... this presentation was super, because Sir Ken focused on many interesting issues of contemporary Education, and I agreed with all of them.
first of all, he talked about the extraordinary evidence of the human creativity, every single person has talent, and has abilities that educational system doesn't develop on the students, why it is focused in one general knowledge which is not personalized, it not even make you grow as a person.
Secondly, we need to prepare to be wrong. We as a people are afraid of make a mistake, we must face the fear of being wrong to be successful in life. We have to realized that nobody's perfect and stop to stigmatize the mistakes.
Thirdly, education is shaped as a programm to develop just the "useful aspects" in job's life. Contemporary education has the idea of the body as a transport of the hands. We as teachers are producing an industrialized knowledge, that just is focused on usefulness of the things and most important yet, the people as a tool who don't even think.
Finally, what we have to do? RE-THINK. We have to think over about the structure of the academics programs. We should make up a new point of view of intelligence as a multiple concept that contents a dynamic part, creative and an interactive one.
He proposed a new mean of human ecology which consists in re-think about the intelligence and human's capacities and teach to students how to face the future.

UAH, one of my favorite places
I chose this college because it's fantastic. My university has a lot of benefits, for example, it's in the center of the city, for me is important because I live so far from Santiago. Moreover, it has good reputation, and it's one of the best humanistic universities here.
Well, choose a carrier was pretty difficult to me. I ever wanted to study something related with social causes and help to other people. When I was in the last year at school. i decided to study pedagogy but I didn't was sure about the speciality. In agreement with my capacities and likes, I chose English at the end.
As I was saying, I think a teacher is one of the most important social roles. We need teachers to learn how we can be persons and to show us the world. Every person need to learn about his/her world. We, as teachers, have the possibility to do that, to be a role model of our society, to integrate the new citizens and encourage them to do all those best. I really love my major, and I don't change it for another thing ever.
Of course, in every job there are bad professional and good ones, I want to be a good one. I think, to be a good teacher is necessary be a leader, enthusiastic and respectful to each others. We have to be patient, because we are going to work with children and teenagers... and that's a big challenge. I good teacher have to be responsible, that's so difficult for me. I am so immature but, I think that I'm growing up in this moment... I hope so. xD
Finally, I want to say that I really like my classes. I loved some subjects like psychology and math, among other things. For example, my psychology teacher was really great, she is so fantastic and I want to be like her. in the other hand, math was always one of my favorite subjects at school, I really enjoy over think about the math problems, it's a good exercise and pretty fun.

BBC website
here I am... Eduardo!! ;D
I think the website is a excellent tool to learn english. I really liked, because there are a lot of activities to develop different areas and improve our skills.
I recomend you, guys, the part about phonetic's skills. It was super fantastic, you could review different sounds, compare them, and then you could practice.
I could find there the shwa, the phonema we were talkin' on the assistanceship.
anyway, as I was saying the website is really great and we coul get a lot of new words and add them to our vocabulary through practicing.
In the other han, we have to take advantage of the Tools and materials we have. As a student, many times we put language aside, if we want to improve, we have to make an effort.
Take all the chances and get the more Benedit for them.
Good luck ¡!!
