Contexts of learning

TEDtalk

Michelle Obama was growing up as the daughter of a pump operator for the Chicago water department, education has always been important in their family. She is an American Lawyer and write and also the wife of the President of the United States Barack Obama. The video is called " a plea for education" and it talks about how each children should take their education seriously. In her words she said " It is this new, brilliant generation, she says, that will close the gap between the world as it is and the world as it should be". The video means that everyone should help each other to "close the gap" and make education a better place for children to learn and to think positively about the future. One of the sentences she said was "you can control your own destiny". I found this very inspiring because you can accomplish anything if you have the right attitude and work hard towards all the aspect of life. I really liked this video and it has made me think that about all the things that we can do to improve education for the future and also we need to believe in what we do to move forward.

My Seven Photo Story: Landscape

My inspiration for this blog was to  focus on the "landscape" around the Swansea area. I came up with this idea while I was walking along Langland, Caswell Bay and Clyne Gardens.
