Do schools kill creativity?

Well, Sir Ken Robinson is an expert on the subject, makes a funny and inspiring speech, he shows the only true about the creativity and what real education should be for children.
Dance and art are very important in the education is necessary give the same importance like math, science, and language because all the people have different abilities and talent , the subjects more important in our society now are the math and all the classics subject but these are not all… Math is not the only important subject, exist things more important for every people in the entire world! Not only has his country, this problem happened in all the earth!
It’s very wonderful talk about this theme because it's necessary promote the creative education for have innovation and this depend a lot on how much we change the system. We need an eye opened about this theme.
I like a lot this speech because we need a refreshing change since the childhood, for change our minds.

Task 5: My career

Hi! My career it’s education, especially kindergarten or preschool students and elementary Education until the nine years. I’m a future teacher, I study this because I’m very good with kids, I like kids, (not babies), I am a good communicator, creative person, and I prefer children to adults .So I think, one of the best parts about being a teacher is watching your students learn and grow ,as well teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual and social development of children in these formative years, contribute to society because the education that the teachers impart plays a role in determining the future prospects of their little students. Preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school introduce children to mathematics, language, science, and social studies. For this formation we can use games, music, artwork, films, books, computers, and other tools to teach basic skills.
I choose this for my life because the educations in a school play a vital role in the development of children. What children learn and experience during these early years can shape the view of themselves and the world and can affect their later success in school and their personal lives.

My future

Task 7: My future
Well, it’s a little be difficult think about my future ,in fact , I don’t have a lots of plans for my life, only a few ideas in my head, let’s see ..
I don’t know where I will live in the future, but my dream is very clear, I would like to have my own flat .Now it is only a dream but maybe some day ,also, I was thinking about travelling. I have dreamed of taking a trip around the world.! I hope this dream come true because I don’t have been to many places. Only I was in Argentina and Uruguay. I would like to visit Egypt, Rome, England and Sidney ( for visited my family) and a lot of more places.
I don’t have plans about have family. I don’t supposed that one day I will get married and have children ,these things definitely are not in my plan .
These are further plans, now I am trying to concentrate on my education and professional career for convert these dreams in really, in fact now in my life the most important thing is my career.

Task 6: Maria Montessori


In my opinion one of the best in my field is Maria Montessori, she born in the town of Chiaravalle, in the province of Ancona, Italy, in 1870, she became the first female physician in Italy, and she was an Italian educator, she created the famous Montessori Method of education of children. This educational method is use in a number of schools around the world.

Maria Montessori believed that education meet the needs of the whole child, the mind, the body, and the spirit, for this reason she created this method.

This method facilitates learning by discovery and imagination, because this thing helps the child to progress. Maria Montessori believed in this type of education, and I believe in this because this educational philosophy is not just another educational theory, it’s the scientific method of education, and it’s very popular but too much expensive in our country. This woman it’s a very important person in themes about education, for her contribution with this method.

My favourite photograph


My favourite photograph is one of my favourite artists and photographers , his name is Jorge Brantmayer an is Chilean .His images -most of the time in black and white-,are very emotional and the he shows the urban life for example avenues,showcases, faces,statues and vehicles. His interest is principally about the human beings.

My favourite picture shows a couple , a woman and a man, in the streets ,the image showing all the love of these two lovers, in a beautiful and passionate kiss.The picture captures the love concept , in a place full of people, wich is not important for the lovers because they exist only for their love.

This picture is from one of his exhibitions in Chile, in the 2000 year, whose name is “Life is in another place” or in Spanish “ La vida esta en otra parte”, with these photographs he won the Altazor award.
