"NOWADAYS, ROTE LEARNING IS TAKING PLACE AT SCHOOLS"

When we speak about rote learning we associate it  to a routine or repetition carried out 

mechanically or unthinkingly.

I think that  it is necessary introduce some urgent changes in the  curriculum to help student

Today's public educators look down on rote learning and consider it akin to a form of child 

abuse. 

 

Today this form of learning is considered to be “out of style, “ghastly boring” and even 

“mindless.”

I think that in facts  rote memorization isn´t only the easiest way to learn something; it often is the

 

only way to learn something.

From my point of view rote learning is a consistently effective teaching method. 

Nowaday  teachers are looking for "critical thinking"  . In this target real learning is over rote 

learning

MY OPINION ON AUSUBEL´S THEORY

Name David Paul Ausubel
Born     October 25, 1918
Died     July 9, 2008
Nationality     United States
Fields     Psychology, Educational Psychology
Known for     Advance Organizers
Influences     Jean Piaget

Ausubel´s  recognized other different  forms of learning, his work focused on verbal learning. 

He believed the external world acquires meaning only as it is converted into the content of 

consciousness by the learner.

Ausubel contributed much to the theoretical body of cognitive learning theory

He creates the advanced organizer as a way to help students link their ideas with new material 

or concepts.
 
The advance organizer is a tool to help students `integrate new information with their existing 

knowledge, leading to "meaningful learning" as opposed to rote memorization. 

I think he realised an importan contribution to the science 

Nowadays we incorporate this tool to learn a lot of different things

DESCRIBE A FAMOUS PERSON RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY OR ECONOMICS

He was the Microsoft Corporation s founder 30 years ago

My opinion on social networking

  EXPRESS AGREEMENT OR DISAGREEMENT AND YOUR OPINION ON THIS:

B) As for physical risk, he says, "The potential for horror is enormous.If  a criminal can easily find out where you are, what stores you frequent, what your daily habits are, who your friends are, and even what your personal food, entertainment, and beverage preferences are, you can be targeted with a level of ease never before possible. Physical violene is possible"

That s exactly what I think

I think specially teenagers are so vulnerable to social networking

Teenagers are so innocent and give much personal information like real name, address, places that regular frequent. All this information could be used to find out a person easily

We have to take some good care and protect our identity

My opinion on social networking

EXPRESS AGREEMENT OR DISAGREEMENT AND YOUR OPINION ON THIS:

A) David Gewirtz: " I worry that there is a deep and dangerous dark side to social networks and I worry about the potential victims. Cybercrimes are very common"

I totally agree with David Gewirtz s opinion

I think people underestimate the real potential of social networks

Nowadays, people use social networks specially facebook and twitter without caution.

In my viewpoint, it is necessary to inform people about the risks of social networking

People will use the technology with responsability

Maybe not giving your real identification could help you avoid some problems!

My opinion on the legality of marihuana

"DECRIMINALIZING MARIHUANA WILL ONLY LEAD TO MORE PEOPLE        BECOMING ADDICTED TO DRUGS"

There was an initiative on last April to allow the tree plantation, cultivation and harvesting as well as the industrialization and trade of up to 8 cannabis plants per household in Uruguay

Possession of less than 25 grams of marijuana was already decriminalized in Uruguay, but the acto of growing, transporting or sharing it remainded illegal

I think that there is a confrontation between  reality and legal regulation.

You can "consumir" but you can t obtain the product in a legal way, really there is a proof contradiction, isn t it?
