=Geórgia Rocha= My opion about the topics discussed in the videos is very importantant for all the teenagers and I really liked about the idea to make a video explaining what have to be sayed about the systems of government respondents in this issui, would important if all the people could see what's happening ( in my case in Brazil ) the failures with the next generation, if it continues in this way we'll have a generation unprepared intelectually and once again we're behind other nations. I agree with this thought that says that our methods of study are not following our technology. For this will not evr happen, we've to do our part, for exemple, we can make other videos explaining other problems that wasn' talked about, trying to get better this situation day by day with everybody's help. =Video 1: =

•A vision of students today
We totally agree with the students in the firts video. The video is the way that the students found to give a message to the world about their education. If all our school students get togheter to make the video we could do it. It's so important people know about the education today, the students must show more, and from that, be helped, change things for better, and I think there are things that can be changed and others are not so simple to change... The students opinions are important to schools that can be increasingly making improvements, changing the methods of study, such as a case study, diferent methods, trying to get students interested and have more free time to do other things too.

Since I am a student, I try to do my best for the school and for the students. Some friends and I treid to make the school´s guild come back. However, our mission has become harder day by day...Once I though that everyone wanted to change the school´s root, but that is not our reality. Even though the school´s guild represents the students voice, nobody seems to be interested in the guild´s affairs... People normaly complain about almost everything, but they don´t really do anything to make it better. In my point of view, the school´s guild has to be naturally strong. Therefore the students would have to who complain and their  representatives would know what to do about it. From step to step the student body will acquire  respect and those steps will go further and furtrer until make a great difference in the education scenery. The most important point is that people mustn´t forget that they have the capacity to change! Sadly, the guilds, most of the time, are marginalized or  disrespected ... That is a problem to be considered... My name is Cristiano Leite de Araújo, I'm a student and 2 of 20 teachers know my name I did 40 % of all homeworks.

I agree with the video, but I think a video will not change anything. There are other ways of trying to change the education and there are other more important aspects to be changed.

Our school has the "Grêmio Estudantil", a group of students willing to organize the school

•What the students really think and pass today
The video shows what the students come through on the high school and what they think about it. I completely agree with the ideas which were shown in the video, they show student reality and what the most of us do. I'm sure that I spend more hours listening to music than reading books, or surfing on facebook text than studing. The best of this video is because it shows the reality of our life and our thoughts about the school. And besides it is not just to show who we really are on the point of view to be thought.

•The true of students today
The ideas from the video are the really true, in my opinion, beacause i pass from it every day, and i now a lot of people who pass too. I really liked the video because it show the reallity of a lot of students in all the world, and show what they think about it and what they do about.

•21st Century Education in New Brunswick,Canada
In this video they show us many curiosities which happen in the nowadays schools, they show different changes in school in curse of years too, but the changes talked about in the video do not happen at all in my school, the contents are always envolving, b ut the use of  technology in our classes is more almoust forbiten. There is a project to start using tablets instead of books on 2012, but this project still very remote, it's a kind difficult to introduce these changes in most of all schools. It is easier at university, because the students are more responsable about the consequences that will come if they don't pay attencion in class and be surfing in the web, in facebook, sending emails or talking in chats. But if we imagine these shifts in a utopic way that would be amazing. People wouldn't need to carry heavy books and notebooks, they don't even need a backpack, just a folder to carry their personal belongings and their tablet, which would replace their books. The students could interact more with the teachers especially the student who is ashamed to ask questions aloud, and everybody could consult sites anytime they want, to do researchs and look for answers that can solve their problems and doubts. The teachers would tape online the subjects and it would be faster than they can do in blackboard, so the student, if he pay attencion, he can learn more. The speed of these processes would eventually develop the intelect and mentality of the students, making they smarter and faster to account to deal with the velocity of information. With the use of tablet, teachers and students can communicate more, and can make discussions with quick and efficient searches. Students can compare the work without the need to talk, just sending an e-mail to another.<span class="hps" style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I think the student is able to capture information at the samespeed <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">•You can´t be my teacher!
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px;">This video for me is the best one. The teacher must be preperad to teach and nowadays computer is primordial for education. Childrens with five to six years old are able to use computer and internet, so if a teacher can´t use it or don´t use during the classes, students won't go to the school; they won´t be interested. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px;">The education is not accompanying nowadays tecnology. The world spins ever faster and each turn comes a whole new world of new technologies, with this, the methods used in most of schools are being exeeded. Nowadays, the informations fly from one side to another side in the world just in seconds, and every second new things are discovered, science advances, new formulas are created, and the most appropriate way to make the studants follow such advancement is introducing technology in class. The teachers should be more prepared to deal with technology in general, should know how to use computer programs and be inside the news. The students could use laptops or Ipads instead of notebooks, but it would have to be controled by the school, for students acces only the sites that school would allow and don't waste time in facebook or in chats. The world today is facing the technology. The job market requires of its workers with a higth commitment to students need to learn it at an earlier age to use computers. Teachers have to be very well prepared and updated to give a good education and information to their students. I think this video is one of the bests because, it shows one reallity of the schools and teachers, and what they usually do in their classes, and what some students thinks, like the little boy want for his teacher. I think, all this, is related with the upgrading the teachers have look for. I agree, the teachers shoud iteract more with the computer. This interaction helped in learnig, today the peaple is very connect to the internet and eletronics.I think in the future the peaple will learn using the computer every class, because the actually society is complete in tecnologi.The world is changing every day, that is willingly or not people have to have greater contact with the internet because it is present in our day, even those who didn't have much contact with tecnology today this is part of their daily lives, so the teachers have to be more informed to follow the evolutions of education. I think that technology in education is a very advanced for a country like Brazil where education is long overdue. The video directed to countries with great development of education makes sense, but for countries like Brazil, that the student has no school supplies, I believe it serves no purpose.

•RSA Animate- Changing Educations Paradigms
The video criticizes the sistem of education in EUA,showing in form of cartoons,what really happens in the sistem and make some proposes to make better that. <span class="long_text"> The video shows what happens to the education system of the United States, but serves many other countries.

•A vision of the students today
I realy agree with the students of the video because all of students pass or will pass one day for it. When we are students everything that the people put in our minds are the thing that the teacher, parents want for your future, but in the true 90% that we learned is not important for the realy future you chose, and in the video the students protesting against this. And other thing that the students protesting it's the contact the teachers with the students, that is not realy affective and this is not favorable for students in my opinion. because if the teachers cared more about their students showing more performance through dynamic interaction between the social environment would be different socializing between teachers and students.

**21st Century Education**
Many people think that the puplic education has to be bad, but we can change this. Because the children of today are the professionals of tomorrow, so if we can give good basis for the clindrens they will be good professionals. We can start with the basic education for exemple teach to write correctly, this may sound silly but it makes a big difference.
