NEW LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: febrero 2010

I am Dalia Díaz.

Academic Data:
I studied Modern Languages at the Javeriana University. I started working as a teacher 15 years ago, all the time in private schools. I am currently working at Gimnasio Femenino, where I feel very comfortable and happy sharing activities and exploring my creativity with my preschool students. I teach Kinder and Transition, the latter starting tomorrow since there will be some changes in the section. I will let you know about my experiences...

Personal facts:
I am from Cartagena, as you may know, but I have lived in Bogotá for 20 years. I came here when I was very young - as you could notice,- I got married, and then I decided to stay here. I have two children who are the reason why I try to enjoy my life as much as I can -despite all the work I have to do, of course...
Anyways, I have learned a lot from you, from the teachers, and I expect this semester I could do my best!

Any questions you may have about me are more than welcome...

See you and read you around!

My expectations

Knowing about NLE will help me broaden my perspectives as a teacher. I am aware of the great teaching/learning trends we are facing every day, the ever-changing technological tools, and the competitive market we are getting in. Therefore, I would list the objectives I have set to obtain throughout this subject:

- To get acquainted with the NLE currently arising.
- To design strategies and activities to apply new trends in my own teaching context.
-To be able to share all my experiences with you, and to continue learning and growing as the solid and clever group we are.

THANKS A LOT!

About these interesting videos...

The overwhelming changes we have been living so rapidly,- especially in the last decade,- mean that we as teachers have a great responsibility in raising a cultural sense in our students: to take care of one another since they are beginning their school lives. Nowadays, the prefix 'inter' is really showing its powerful meaning--> inter-action, inter-national, inter-cultural, inter-net....

Developing critical thinking is definitely a good starting point if learners are meant to successfully interact in a future unknown society and world. Also, promoting the emotional, conversational/communicative, physical skills - among others- that are already embedded in most educational contexts, combined with new technological trends -that risky pioneers have just started to apply and use effectively and creatively,- would serve as a solid basis for the upcoming worldwide citizens.
