Netflix for Education

When we talk about "Education", there are always different approaches to address it. In our country, we have seen how in the last time matters such as training and working conditions of teachers, inequality and selection in access, vulnerability of some students, among other aspects that are part of the national debate daily. 

Although the reality usually surpasses the fiction, through a film we can also learn and see things from different perspectives, feeding our neurons of reflections and ideas while we have a good time eating popcorn.
 Remember you have Netflix for free using the free trial.

Here are 5 Netflix movies that directly or transversally address different aspects of Education:

1. Good Will Hunting (1997) This film is about Will Hunting, a mathematical genius and with photographic memory, who works as a concierge at MIT. Soon a teacher and a therapist notice their exceptional abilities and try to help him, but in principle Will closes and continues in a vicious circle of self-sabotage. A very good film, where we see that sometimes oneself is their worst enemy, leaving behind opportunities for insecurities or lack of projection, and sometimes only a vote of confidence from a third party to find a way in life.

2. Breakfast Club (1985)
In this cult film, five very different students are punished and forced to spend "eight hours with fifty-four minutes" in the school library writing an essay about themselves. There, little by little they will get to know each other and share their stories between jokes and pranks. While this comedy is light blood and shows the classic stereotypes of gringo student, we can also extract from it some lessons, such as the wealth that exists in diversity, and that in the end, knowing us, we are not so different.

3. Precious (2009) This drama ( the real drama ) tells the story of effort and overcoming Claireece " Precious " Jones, a young single mother, obese and illiterate, who has been a victim of domestic abuse since she was very young. Here, in addition to a history of self-improvement, we see how a vocational pedagogical team can fulfill an important role when it is able to see beyond the obvious ( notes and behavior), worrying the student as a person.
You can use the Netflix Free trial for 30 day free.

4. With Honors (1994) Montgomery 'Monty' Kessler makes a thesis that would guarantee a summa cum laude graduation at Harvard, until his hard drive burns and loses the original file, and his only printed copy falls into the hands of a beggar who blackmails him, leaf in exchange for favors. In addition to being a good reminder of the importance of supporting the thesis in more than one medium (hdd, pendrive, cloud, mail, print ... even on cassette if necessary), this film teaches us that many times great truths do not are in the theoretical treatises, but in the everyday, and what really matters is " graduating from life with honors ."

5. Forbidden Education (2012) Here we made a bit of a trap, because in reality it is a documentary film and not fiction unlike the rest, but if we talk about education, this realization is an excellent starting point to learn about the improving educational reality in Latin America and Spain . The documentary explores ideas from different teaching models, and develops a proposal for change in the way of understanding and living education.

Windows XP

Windows XP is an operating system developed by the US company Microsoft . It is a set of programs that allow you to manage the resources of a computer and manage the hardware from the most basic levels.

Windows XP is a version of Windows, released in October 2001 . Its codename during the development phase was Whistler, while its official name comes from the English term eXPerience . This operating system, which happened to Windows 2000 and is the predecessor of Windows Vista , managed to become the most used in the world. It has adaptations for various environments, such as home computers, laptops and mini-laptops.

It is important to know that since its appearance, Microsoft has been launching a whole series of packages, so-called service packs, with which it has been improving some of the features of the operating system. In 2002, in 2004 and 2008 was when he introduced those who introduced new features such as a new interface for what was the firewall, improvements in the security system of what was the Windows Media Player or the capacity that the e-mail program (Outlook) could block attachments that it believes may be dangerous.

At the technical level, its main innovation is the fact that it is based on the architecture and core of Windows NT , being Microsoft's first consumer-oriented operating system that has this feature. The fact that it offers the possibility to proceed to install drivers or different applications without having to carry out the whole procedure of the system restart or that gives the opportunity to be able to use the remote desktop are other characteristics that made Windows XP would become a real benchmark within the computer industry.  Here you can get a Windows XP ISO for free.

Users have congratulated the graphical interface of Windows XP, which promotes a more simplified use compared to other operating systems. On the other hand, the most frequent criticisms are its security vulnerabilities and the integration of the Internet Explorer browser and the Windows Media Player (which may be considered as an abuse of Microsoft's dominant position in the market and an attack against the free competition).

Another novelty of Windows XP is the inclusion of the Windows Genuine Advantage system , which is responsible for verifying whether the copy is original or counterfeit. When the program does not pass the validation process, the user encounters a warning. In the next year 2014, concretely the 8 of April, is when it is anticipated that Windows XP stops having a support. 

What it will mean is that from that moment users who have in their computers the mentioned operating system can not have more security updates, nor corrections to what are system errors or patches of various kinds. A fact that what will basically mean is that the equipment that has installed that one is unprotected and more exposed to vulnerabilities.
