Los Estudiantes del Siglo 21

Los estudiantes de este siglo han cambiado radicalmente, ya no son iguales a los de veinte cuantos años atrás y el que se niegue a aceptar esta realidad, simplemente está creando una bomba de tiempo que no tardará en explotar.Los niños de hoy tienen como lengua materna el lenguaje digital de las computadoras, los videojuegos y el internet, ellos no son capaces de desarrollar temas usando papel y lápiz, pero si son capaces de crear y desarrollar temas a través de imágenes, música y animaciones. Por qué será que a nuestros políticos y encargados de desarrollar los programas educativos les cuesta tanto entender ésto. El Sistema Educativo costarricense está obsoleto desde finales de la década de los ochenta y los parches que se le han hecho no son suficientes para atender las demandas y necesidades de los estudiantes actuales. Actualmente no sabemos ni siquiera que tipo de ciudadanos queremos para el futuro. La falta de conocimiento de la historia, respeto a los símbolos nacionales y desc...

We are living in the future, we dreamed about a few years ago.(wk4)

In this opportunity I will like to share a video about something that just blowed my mind. It is incredible the type of technologies that are bein developped around the world. It is simply amazing, and this time it is about the Xbox 360. I just can stop thinking and dreaming about the bunch of things that we will be able to do with this in the classroom. Can you imagine yourself being able to explore a human cell, or reviving a famous battle, or exploring space? and what about the Virtual Learning Environments? The possibilities are endless.

Almost there...(wk4)

I am almost over, finally I am getting to the last part of the program, and I am still here sitting down, looking for things to write about, the whole time pressure is over me, I feel tired and I can think anymore, but I am still here giving myself to this. I see people come and go, while everybody else is at their homes resting, I am still in my office writing. My girlfriend comes online, she wants to speak with me, but I tell her that I am busy, that I need to finish my assingments for the university. She says that it doesn't matter, that she will stay online giving me company, that she will not distract me, that she understands. I feel sorry because I would like to share sometime with her, but my obbligations are first, after all I am just a few weeks away to finally get my degree. Now she is reading my notes, she says that she liked the one about us, that it is good, that almost make her cry, so I feel happy about that.  But now I must continue with my assingments, so I will l...

Creating a Spark (wk4)

There is one rule that I have established to myself this year: to become a spark to lit others. I am already puting this into practice into my classes. It is very easy to get overwhelmed by a mountain of problems that we face day by day, but we must forget about all that as soon as we step into the classroom. There are many students that could be facing worst problems than the ones we are dealing with, and still they make the effort to get to class to receive anything that we can give them, so it is not fair for them that we receive them with a long face and with a low energy. We must do our biggest effort to be energized everyday and to transmit our energy to them. We can spark the light of knowledge in their hearts and minds, qne when we are able to achieve that, then there are not limits to what we can achieve in our classrooms, as they say the universe is the limit, and the universe of possibilities will be open to us.
