“A interesting topic of the psychology”.

This year I am interested in education psychology, it is the psychology that study the school contexts and the relationships among the participants ( theachers, students, fathers)

In this area I can find a lot of interesting theories, I have studied the Vigotsky theory, This theory is called “ socio-cultural”, In this theory there are many interesting concepts, for example “appropriation” or “guided participation”.

In the future, I want to learn about the practical work of education psychologist, I want to learn about school advine, about vocational orientation, and much much more.

The education psychology attracted my interest because I think that this discipline aport many elements and concepts for to understand and to improve the education.

Here , there are two web sites very useful for this discipline:

http://www.vigotsky.org/

http://www.mhhe.com/socscience/education/edpsych/edpsytop.html
"Recommended Web sites in Psychology”

The first web site that I recomend is the site of the American Psychological Association ( APA). In this web site you can find a lot of useful tools for the psychologist, for example, here you can find “the norms to mention a text”, this norms are useful when you need to write a paper. Also, here there are news about our area.

The link to this web site is http://www.apa.org/

Another interesting web site is “Encyclopedia of Psychology”. This web site contains many links of other sites related with the psychology, Here, You can find information about clinical psychology, social psychology, and much more.

The link to this site is http://www.psychology.org/

This sites can help you when you need find good information about a topic of the psychology.
The last weekend.

The last weekend I went to friend’s house, Here I had a reunion with five friends, All this persons like the music, Moreover, they play some musical instruments, In a first moment we spoke about many things, but after, we played music, We had very enthusiasm because we did not practice since six month . We was two hours attempting to play a song but the sound was very bad, the enthusiasm diminished slowly, I and my friends forgot many songs!. When we said goodbye, We decided to have a reunion the next month for to practice and to remember songs and finally we can be a good musicians.

The special song.

I should say that I don't listen music in English, I only listen Latin music, for this reason I know very quite songs in inglish. But a song in inglish that I like is called “imagine” by John Lennon.

I has the videoclip of this song in my first computer, this video was the only one in all computer, for this reason I always saw this video.

I liked this video and a day I traslated this song, I liked the verses of this song.

Actually this song is this is one of my favorite songs.


Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries I
t isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
