INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS
UNKNOWNS
Their topic talks about inclusive schools. It's a process that the society has to follow to develop and to ensure the learning and the participation of all students, teachers and parents in the school life, attending to the diversity and the people most vulnerable.
In their explanation they brought us some interesting data based in Porter, Booth, Ainscow and Echeita and they established goals in school like not leave out anyone, to promote the equality and to bring equal opportunities, a school based in the justice and the democracy so we have to promote dynamism and interaction between institutions too.
Keeping inclusive school we reach the utopy to develop individual strengths and gifts, developing friendship, giving the students opportunities to learn about it and too different topics, acepting the individual characteristics and developing a positive thinking about the diversity and the inclusion.
Talking about this we have to say that school have barriers such contradictory rules, the cultural ones with the discrimination of the rules between culture and children, and the didactic and methodologies because people are competitive in Cooperative Learning and the curriculum's structure, so many times, don't leave us make this type of things in the school: we have to use books, a concrete structure with topics and values follow a discipline...
They put two videos in class: in the first video we could see the relation between socioeconomic fact of society and Inclusive School and diversity. They told about multitasking too and the develop of values in class. To reach our goals is important to keep a good environment in class too because it's the best condition to learn.
In the second video they show us how to learn and teach: Inclusive Schools are related with the learning doing things: children should learn the theory practicing some things, in a practical way. They show us the importance of the roles too: it helps to the children to know what is their job in the class but keeping in mind it can be changed at the moment.
As a conclusion I think integration and diversity are fundamental to develop children because there are values that are more important than contents. We should respect everyone without seeing their nationality or their characteristics in the real life so we have to learn to do it in the school!
LEARNING COMMUNITIES
MUSICAL CHAIRS
this topic deal with the relation between teachers and children in the class and how to coordinate it. This method pretends to see the school as a part of the society and not as something apart of its so the cooperation is the most important thing on this topic to reach the goal.
The learned is compound by three persons: students, teachers and volunteers that have cooperation, collaboration, coordination, communication...
Relationship between students and teachers, according to this team, is reciprocal: the teacher isn't the unique person who have knowledge so the partners can help other partners to learn and teach them some things. They can also to help other partners with difficulties too or people who don't know how to do something by self.
The role of the teacher is to be a guide, someone who help the students and provide them the motivation and the force to build the knowledge.
Other relationship is between teachers and volunteers: they have to be coordinates at the same time they have to teach together to make the children learning. This relationship is based in trusting so at last they will build a confidence relation.
Talking about relationships, we have the relationship between volunteers and students too: the volunteers share the knowledge trough their own experiences so students learn values apart from knowledge.
With this method the class changes and it will be more funny for children. Learning is a dynamic process, different from other types of things, and the most important thing: there are always interaction in class between all people so they develop their communication skills too.
This three relationship are the ingredients to cook the best learning in children but how the best recipe the ingredients have to collaborate and to life together to make children learn things that don't appear in the methodology or in the books like values and life together, things more important than the things the law ask us to teach too many times.
WAYS OF LIVING TOGETHER IN THE SCHOOL
Modern students did their exposition in four stages:
At first they told about School mediation, talking about boullying cases; a big problem in schools nowadays that we have to solve immediately. Other topics are violence and exclusion. As a reference for children we have to mediate on this cases to help them to solve it because they are problems that never leave to grow up.
The second part was about a program to support peers that is based in the importance of the dialogue and the active listening. This program have a relationship with mediation too and how to solve problems: the key is to participle and to promote responsibilities between students in the school.
Then, archeology of feelings was a important part of their exposition: it is based in a book that explain archeology and education as a relation with different stages:
DISCOVERY,
INDAGATION,
EXCAVATION,
PROTECTION,
EXPOSURE.
At last they told about Kiva's school. In this school they work with different tools to avoid this problems.
As a conclusion, I think nowadays and in the future it will be increased, bullying, discrimination and this types of problems are a thing that we have to solve and this solution start in the education: if we educate the children with values they will be respectful in the future because they will know all we are equal than we all. The role of teachers is to educate but to solve the problems that are now real too so we have to know how to do it and how to teach children to control their emotions.
INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS

This school have to have got main characteristics: to promote the equality and the equal rights for all people, solving differences... so the method of this schools are based in the diversity: all people study because all people is a part of the society ad we are equal.
This schools and their characteristics are developed by different authors but they talked about four of them: Tony Booth, Mel Ainscow, Echeita and Gordon Porter.
Talking about this schools we have to know there are inconvenient and difficulties to develop it like the contradictions in the laws, the didactic that we're obliged to follow, the method, to follow a book... so before to have this types of school we have to transform the society and the values and to make a co laboring society with great values like share and to work together.
The best thing I think this school have is the possibility to include all people because nowadays in our society is necessary to understand that all we are different but we have to eliminate the prejudices because too much people think that one differences are more different that other differences, and it's not real: it doesn't matter if you have Asperger Syndrome or if you are blonde; it's the same at school and learning so we have to reach a school with this values.
ICT AND LEARNING DISABILITIES - CRÓNICAS VIAJERAS
Their topic talk about disabilities and they talk about three of them:
At first they told about Children with Autism that have problems with the relationship and the language and socialization and to solve this problems they propose to use technology like tablets and Cameras. For children with Down Syndrome the purpose was to use games and whiteboards because it can solve their distractions and it can do it more participative in class. For motor disabilities they can use the music to work with it and to make them different rythms and dances.
In their video we can see how we can help children with problems with technologies because it's a good way to make them equal and to improve the relationship between students.
