Collaborative workshop



Working an important subject as students dropout Definitely the method I prefer is the scavenger hunt.  
Why?
because this is a good method that bring us many opportunities to  combine some other collaborative methods: for example, the step by step discussions where learners make into small groups and go through a series of questions and activities to build knowledge.  Preparing questions and activities before that kind of  workshop allow us to predict the results.  The major challenge is to make materials in a creative way.   The other method that scavenger hunt promotes is learning by doing because  the teacher gives instructions and  stimuli the students to start working.

CULTURE, EDUCATION AND SOCIETY

There are many aspects included in the subjects of culture, society and education:  All of them are valid and interesting and that lead us to reflect about our actions and the development of the environment in which we live. An interesting point of view is what Joseph Amar mentioned in his column of "the herald" on the concerns of other countries form intellectual elites able to think about their own country, the development of their society and its members, but in our Colombia these themes are studied sparsely and superficially in careers with social and humanistic content, not taught us to appreciate our culture because we don't even know characterize it or understand it in full; something like what we discussed with my work group in meetings: in Colombia people don't have any identity, people don't work for a common wellness; but everybody is on his/her side and fight for individual and not collective interests. While colombians not to work for the construction of a better society, any investment that different publications on mindmap mentioned, and other efforts may result not enough  when implementing new projects,  the level of lack of identity is as important as the issue of inequity, issue in which the state has a great responsibility, but both quite complex issues in which we should work from our to do daily.
