RECUPERATIVE CLASS
During this class each of us shared our future plans. Eventhough just a few of us attended the class, its advantage was the environment given to share our thoughts and intentions, its drawback was that not every classmate were there to talk about the topic.
It was surprising the different expactations that my classmates have; some of them would like to work in cruise which might be very demanding as well as exciting, Claudio also said that he is thinking on studying abroad to pursue a postdegree, specifically in Australia, expectation that I also share. I have to mention that on Wednesday the 2nd, a group of classmates and I went to Expo Australia carried out in Sheraton Hotel. It was really crowded but we could talk with some representatives of many Australian Universities, they gave us useful information about postdegrees we are interested in.
Anothe topic that Mr. Litman mention was educacion2020, which is a movement created to make an educational revolution, in other terms, the aim of educacion2020 is to commit the Chilean society to increase the poorer student's education. Every person that wants to cooperate with this cause only has to register in its webpage: http://www.educacion2020.cl/PROJECT ZERO:
During Tuesday, September 22nd. Daniela, Katherine and Nadia prepared a debate about Project Zero. They prepared the given information in advance. Although, no clear definition was given to the rest of the class. One of the girls pointed out that it was really hard to find information; every publication was made under Harvard's researchers and there is not any document to download (fact I realized myself now that I investigated about it) 
"Project Zero's mission is to understand and enhance learning, thinking, and creativity in the arts, as well as humanistic and scientific disciplines, at the individual and institutional levels".
Project Zero encourages arts activities within schools, it does not only promote the implementation od arts educations in formal and non-formal settings, but also improves the quality of edcuation, appreciating the role of arts and creativity in school environment as a tool for promoting ethical values. Additionally and accordingly to classroom observations, interviews and analysis of materials, the participants of this programme showed higher levess of class engagement, such as the level of attentiveness, participation and student interaction.
