Cognitive Surplus

I think that in the video he said something important and is that we are great consumers, but we don´t produce anything. We like the internet and we spend hours In it, but doing what, in facebook, or in the mail, that we put something in the media but that is not going to be a change in the world, the people is not going to learn anything with that.

I´m a consumer, because I don´t share my knowledge in the media, I just take from it some of the information that other people put in there. But instead of putting the information in the media I´m giviging my knowledge to others, in this case in the social action that I do, or in my work. So I can said that right know I appreciate more, my social work.

Sixth day in social work

In my sixth day in social work, I prepare two activities for the kids, the first was make the flag of Guayaquil, because we are July, month of our city. I start the activity asking if they know what we are celebrating this month, they said that the birthday of the city. After the little introduction, we started tearing the sky blue paper, then we paste in the cardboard and finally we put a sherbet, and we finished our flag, we played with it a little and then we passed to our next activity.

I took a turtle so they can paint it, they painted it with crayons, I took in account that they need more help in that area, because they didn´t respect the limits of the draw. Another day that I let the painted free, they just made a pothook, and for their age (3 years), they supposed to make drawings and not just pothook. For that in my next day I´m going to work with this problem, I´m going to bring more things to practice their painting.

Fifth day of social work

In my fifth day in social work, I work in the pharmacy of the dispensary, because the kids of the school, didn´t have class.

I went to the pharmacy, and the patients came to buy their medicine, they asked how much they had to pay, before saying if they want the medicine or not. Some of them didn’t buy all the medicine; they said they buy some today and the other part the next day, or when the medicine finished.

The miss that take care of the pharmacy give them some chances or options to pay the medicine, she say to them which medicine is more important or how many they have to buy,. For the dispensary is more important the wealth of their patients that their own interest.
