EDUCATION A HUMAN RIGHT

Imagen
  HELLO DEAR TEACHERS   In this entry of my blog I would like to share with you some important aspects of education as I was writing in another blog of our Education right. As humans we all need some basic rights to live a live with dignity, for example the right to live, to be free, the right to express what we feel or think, to carry a gun and many more but one of the most important is for me is Education, because I guess for me it is important for people to know what is freedom to enjoy it, to live, to have relevant ideas or theories that can change the world and I think can only be archived if they are educated. In our country this right is the third article of the constitution and let me explain what is about I mean beyond the simple right to receive education in a Public school. The right is about giving  every person the right to get education and the Government needs to provided it for free, it was only for elementary school, junior high and high school, but ...

THE BEST TEACHERS

Imagen
  Hello dear Teachers!   You know I noticed I always, complain or shared about topics I have some comments on (jajaja lol) but I haven’t really share something for you. Let me tell you I believe English teachers are greatest, so for me you are the best teacher there are.      So,… what does it take to be the ideal teacher?   According to various studies where students were asked this question, the ideal teacher has a wide range of knowledge and is patient and understanding, has lots of energy and is entertaining while also being able to discipline the class. We all know that this may seem impossible sometimes, but students insist that as long as they are treated with respect, they understand that excellent teachers are human too and that nobody can be perfect all of the time. Think back to when you were a student; do you remember the hours you would spend on grammar and idioms? Doing the same thing over and over until you fell asleep? Think how you could ch...

  HELLO DEAR TEACHERS!!!   It´s been a while since we share, I wanted to continue on my topic of educational right according to the Constitution; but not today I´ll write about it later. Today I decided to vent a little (LOL), I guess it does good to our to talk about or in this case to write about what is troubling us, so here it goes:   💖 -You know how I always like to learn new things, well this time I am taking a course in statistics, and well I know you should have some background knowledge but you know it is different every time and I don’t quite remember everything,      but well there was I optimistic me believing that maybe this math teacher would be different from others, I  was ready to learn do my best, I listen and I did what he said, downlow the program, run the program, join the page, subscribe and something happened my computer couldn’t install the program it has some problems with the disk, and the teacher said if you can’t work ...

IT IS TIME TO CREATE

 HELLO DEAR FELLOW TEACHERS This time I am going to talk about what I think about the need of creating pedagogical approaches that we are living now a days, the pedagogy evolves and the social needs are different in this context we can understand that it is necessary to innovate because now a days it is not enough with the theories that we have, I am not saying that they are not useful or valid but i do believe we need to evolve and give new theories to the science of education, I think we are all unsatisfied with the quality of some classes and we can expect or give more as students or teacher now that we are teaching on line. So I will share with you the information I found of a new researcher that wants to purpose a different way to teach our students here is the entry of his research article: LEARNING IT'S CHANGING. NEW TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS US TO THINK ABOUT LEARNING AND TEACHING IN ENTIRELY NEW WAYS. I TAUGHT PSYCHOLOGY IN A LECTURE THEATER LIKE THIS FOR MANY YEARS, HELPING STUDE...

CRAZY TEACHING SESSIONS

  Hello dear teachers   On line teaching is always a challenge, one aspect that today will like to share with you is the unpredictable things and sound that happened at home, one of my most embarrassing stories there I was connected at home as usual, I don´t have a desk in room where I can place my computer and before we could change our background on the computer the wall of my room was the best option for my classes, so I used to give classes in my room where it was calm and quiet but I have dogs that usually behave well, but there I was speaking to my class and suddenly my dogs started to fight barking and biting each other but all over my computer during my session, I didn´t know what to do, because they we all over  thecomputer and couldn´t log out of the session because my computer was on the edge of my bed and it was about to fall, my first concern was to separate my dogs and then the computer, so I did, either way my students were there watching what was happ...

CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING TO OUR RIGHTS   Hello dear teachers,  How was your week? I would like to hear all about it?   As you know as teachers in a pandemic situation we depend on our internet connection,  this means we need to pay for the internet service an even if we do sometimes the companies that provided us with the internet services have problems too, so they left us with connecting problems, that doesn’t allow us to attend class or to give class and sometimes teachers or students are not as understanding as we wish even though this types of problems are not within our hands to fix.   I think that during this difficult times it is a blessing to have our jobs and I am very greatful for all of us that still have a job, but sadly everything is elevating their costs and the salary we made it is not enough to pay the best internet service or the best computer, so we do as we can and pay the type of service that we can so we can keep working.  Let ...

On line teaching

  Hello to all my fellow teachers, 😃 💗today I would like to talk about this hole on line class dynamic thing. First of all let me tell you something , so you won´t think I´m bitter, … like everybody I was hopeful for the pandemic to be over and happy for the new year, you know happy 2021  by the way.   I thought well after the winter break I feel renew and relax.😜    I´m starting a new quarter in the High School where I teach,  this time I was assigned to  teach English III to a new group.   As teachers facing a new group with no background information of the real level and with no book, this were my options: - Apply a diagnostic exam  - Ask about the topics - Start over with everything   I decided to ask about what the were working on the previous course, so I could have an idea of how I could make my lesson plan for the course.   I didn´t wanted to come to strong because they only have an hour a week of English class ...
