Iko is a prosthetic arm designed by the colombian industrial designer  Carlos Torres and sponsored by CIREC and LEGO Future Lab. This innovative product was designed for children who have missed their arm.

Children with disability have many problems and the project tried to understand the bad perception that kids have around prosthetics, the deep focus that companies have on engineering and not the human part of these kids, the social isolation of a kid because of his condition and how hard can be for them to build a strong self esteem.

The main idea of the product is to generate a new mindset about current prosthetics are, and the impact of these elements in the relationships with other children. The project starts with one question:
”What if kids in disability could build their own prosthetics according to their own needs while having fun?”.

The sponsor LEGO Future Lab was crucial to answer this question and solve this “problem” because they do really know kids and they shared the value of play and learning together. The product, turn the prosthesis into an innovative and unique toy was something that had to be explored, there had to be a right balance between a playful experience and something functional. If Lego have not supported this project, kids could not use their imagination to customize their own prosthetics according to their own necessities and dreams.

If Carlos Torres hadn’t designed Iko, this kids wouldn’t have felt good with their prosthetics.  In my opinion, This is a great example of the creativity and innovation of  colombian industrial designers.

Self assessment
In the new presentation I felt me better because I can prepare some topics to explain the product that I selected. I try to have a main idea and conductive thread in the different parts of the exposition (introduction, main body and conclusion). Sometimes I forgot the structure/grammar of  the sentences and the intonation of verbs. For example, when I spoke about the feelings that children in dissabilite have to confront, I repeated the word “feelings”. I would have said: This feelings develop another kind of sensations that affect their self esteem. I need to keep a greater eye contact with the people who listen the presentation. If I had had the opportunity to present again the task, I would try to use grammar and expressions more advance.

In this task I felt that the structure of my speaking could be better. For example, in the first question of Diana about my book I could have a little "introduction" and spoke about the main idea. In this way I could have continued better with the conversation of my book.

- My book is about think different kinds of do and understand the architecture...

In this task I felt that the structure (Intro - details - conclusion) of the speech was good. I could speak fluently and I tried to use some of the grammar that we have studied and the grammar related to the topic that I explained.

- I might have talked more careful with the pronunciation of some words, for example: the the wors gight - everyone changed.

- I should have cared with the grammar of some sentences for example:
He was one of the best designers.
The day he was born or the day he was died.
This kind of stuff (without "S" sound).
With this ideas or this philosphy.
Companies in the world.

- I  must have improvised and spoken more time and explained the design philosophy of Steve Jobs and my point of view about this.

To improve my weaknesses I might:
- Record my voice and talk about topics that I really like.
- Read news online and identify the use of the topics that we study in class.
- I need to review a few past lessons to reinforce some themes, for this issue I should do online exercises.

Julián, you did such a great job on the images and music you included! It was evident you prepared your task carefully because you spoke naturally and tried to use the previous and new target language. Keep monitoring verb tenses as you speak and be more attentive to pronunciation and stress of words. Start thinking of ways to improve on those two aspects for future tasks. What do you think you can do? Post your action plan on your Padlet.

Julián, thanks for sharing some of your life experiences with us. In this video, you were able to organize and connect ideas making it easy for the listener to follow your speech. You also did a good job on speaking naturally and fluently, but you may want to work on some language aspects; for example, pronunciation of -ed endings and use of the target language. For future tasks, try to include extra examples with the grammar topics covered in each unit so you can improve your current level of English. Way to go!

Julián, you wrote an accurate reflection on your performance for the second task. As you mentioned, you did a great job on stating your point of view and speaking fluently at the beginning of your recording. Since your  supporting details were not as strong as your topic sentence, you may want to organize ideas and use the target language a little bit more. Set action plans to monitor the use of basic grammar structures to have a better performance in future tasks.

In the presentation I felt the first sentences were good, but in the middle and final part of the speaking I had problems to explain my ideas clearly. Also I had problems using the correct vocabulary and correct intonation.

If I had had the opportunity to present again the task, I would try to speak more fluently and less cut off, without pet words and using more grammar of the unit 1 and 2.

I forgot to say one phrase or idea using must, may or might. For example, I would have said:
I may be able to use alternative medicine because I think that kind of treatments are more natural and usually no produce side effects. Actually, because of the accident that I had, I have used a natural ointment for my scratch and I have felt that treatment is effective.

At the end, I had problems concluding the talk. I would have said:
In conclusion, alternative medicine is the best option when you don't have a very painful illness that requires a traditional treatment. For example an operation for a fracture or a heart attack.

Hello, during these months in which I have studied English, I have been able to reinforce some skills to improve my writing, listening and speaking. Today I will talk about my strengths and weaknesses:

Strenghts:
- I think one of my abilities is reading comprehension. I really like reading about different stuffs, for example about architecture and design.

- I like to learn new vocabulary and try to write in Englsih. To my way of thinking this is one of the best forms to embrace a new language. If you Know vocabulary, you open your mind to new forms to express.

Weaknesses:
- Well, during this last courses I've noticed that I need to speak better, without pet words, with confidence and  using new grammar. Sometimes I didn't clearly state my ideas.

- Another point that I must improve is remember some vocabulary and the time of the sentences that I have to use to speak correctly. I hope to improve my grammar. If I review this topic, I'll can speak fluently and clearly.

In this new course I wish will study and improve my skills to speak, write and listen better.

I am loving and passionate of architecture, construction and industrial design. I was born in Pereira - Risaralda but I live in Bogotá since I have 6 years. I’m 31 years old and I have dedicated the last ten years of my life to honing my skills as a creative and ambitious designer, builder and dreamer. I really like to practice mount bike, down hill,  jog and practice different kinds of sports, especially outdoor sports and activities, like camping and trekking.

I wish to learn English because I dream to study a Master Degree in one anglo - speaking country and after travel to Asia and Europe.

I hope that you enjoy my Padlet!
