"About my career needs"

Well, today I've to talk about our career especially about the skills needed to work in this area, where is very important that the person who practice pedagogy has the vocation to teach and favour an ideal learning environment. I think that the main skills needed in my area of study is the ambition, but not the personal profit or economic ambition; this ambition has to be yearn of equity, equal opportunities and a social progress. I think that this skills are essential for improve this area and for contribute to the society, especially to the vulnerable families and to the people who has not the necessary opportunities to emerge or to achieve what they want.

Definitely, this is not the only needed skill, because, for this career and job, we need innovative mentality, a didactic attitude, creativity, patience, love for children, humility, a kind personality and a good way to communicate with partners, families and children. All the other things how are: the knowledge, know how to control a student’s group, to manage in a class, etc. you can learn in the University or in an Institute; but the skills that you need, in general are innate. Maybe you can practice this or you can develop this if you don’t know anything about that, but the majority of the cases, this ability are inborn.
With my little experience in pedagogy practices, I can say that this University doesn’t give to us all the needed tools for this job, because in the practices we don’t know how to help in the classes and maybe, when we will finish the career we will know how act but in the first years, we only have to read and read, and either of this learning is applicable to the practice in kinder-gardens or schools.
About the courses, I think that we need more technical and practical training, because we have a lot of theoretical courses, but we don’t know how to implement a didactic class or how execute the same role that the technician of this career have in the kinder-gardens; and this is very important for me because the teacher of little children have to know how to attend their needs if the assistant is absent. And a main knowledge that we must to have in my opinion, is the course of “First Aid”, because if we suffer an accident with one of the children, is very important that we know what make in this case (and I know that this is very necessary because the kinder-garden where I realized my first practice the last year, hasn’t infirmary and the teacher didn’t know how act in the moment and help the hurt child).
Finally, I can say that I not feel prepared to the future that awaits me, but I expect that in the next 3 years, my classmates and me can know all that is necessary and more, because this country need good teachers and excellent education’s professionals; and I think that this needed professionals will be us.

"Sony Ericsson W-395, the last technological wonder for me"

In this time I’m going to talk about my favorite piece of technology; my cell phone! Oh yes! This is lot better than all technology things that exist now. Thanks to it, I can take photos in anyplace that I stay, I can listen music all the time; in the street when I’m walking alone, in the “micro” bus, in the “metro”, in the class-breaks, even in my bedroom!

Well, some time ago, two cell phones were stolen me in the public transport, but fortunately they not stole me anything more. One year later, in my birthday, my father took me to buy a new cell phone in the Movistar shop. At the first minute when I entered to the shop, I saw my current phone in the showcase and I fell in love to it. My father bought it with a great discount and then the cell phone was my. I have this cell phone since 1 year ago or less, but I chose a very cool phone with the same design that my old stole cell phone.

I use my cell phone all the time, I love it; I miss the old cell phone games, because my new phone has not good games; but it has a lot of memory, I have here a lot of text messages since I start a relationship with my boyfriend and this is very important for me and makes that my cell phone will be sacred!! That is why I use a lot of time my cell, I talk a lot of times in the day with my boyfriend, my mother and sometimes, with my father; because all them like a lot to call me, but I love only talk with my boyfriend all the time in the day, and the cell phone is my most useful tool to this purpose.

I like so much my cell phone too, because has a very loud sound and has a full music volume; and I love to listen music with the maximum volume, very noisy in all places, it’s great!

For the end, I can say that now in this times, I would can’t live without this valuable object; probably all us can live without any luxury, but I’m used to have it and I can imagine how I would can talk with a lot of friends that live very far of my house, in special my boyfriend that I just can see him in the weekend and I need to talk with him everyday.

In conclusion… I LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART MY W-395!!!

"A nice time in Guanaqueros town"

Well, this time I’m going to talk you about one place that I visited with my family and my boyfriend in the summer vacations. The name of this place is “Guanaqueros”; it’s a little beach town located in the Coquimbo region (Chilean North Side), near to Tongoy. This is a very peaceful and quiet place in the day, where you can go for a walk with your people, take a nap in the san in front of the sea, choose some of the many restaurants, “picadas” or places to eat in general that you can find in front of the beach where the Chilean and typical zone food is very cheap in general. And in the nights is a very safe place with not many parties, night life or bohemian.

When I went to Guanaqueros in February, My family, my boyfriend and me, went to this town in our car and the travel takes us some hours (5 or 6 hours). When we arrived, we started to look for some place to camp, and one hour later we found a great place, with a big space in front of the beach. In some hours we could to put up the tent and some other camping things.

We stayed camping during 10 days and we enjoyed so much the place, where we went to eat delicious cheap food, we knew the Tongoy town, me and my boyfriend made “kayak”, I take a lot of sun with my mother, all us played “pool” in a bar, played some games in the sand, and we could talk a lot; in the silence nights.

I recommend you this place if you are looking for a nice, peaceful and familiar time.

"Paulo Freire, the last great pedagogue"

Today I’ m going to talk about someone that I admire, and he is “Paulo Freire”.
Paulo Freire was born on 1921 in Recife, Pernambuco state in Brazil; one of the most poor places in this Latin-American country. He was raised in a middle class family and when he grew up, he took interest on the education for the poor people of his region; and after he finished some law studies, he has developed a “teaching system” for all education levels. He stayed in prison 2 times in Brazil about his “strange” ideas; and then, the people start to know him since today, when he is the most famous educator of our times.

His theory is about that the educational process must be approached in the student’s social environment, and this students how right’s persons must to understand their own reality how a part of their education, and anything that they must to learn, must to be associated to their social context and they have to know the usefulness and the profit of any knowledge, in their life.

In his times, the people called him “revolutionary and ignorant”, but he wrote a lot of works translated in 18 languages; the most famous is “Pedagogia del Oprimido”, dedicated to all the people that feel identify with the poor people, suffer with them and fight with them.

He died in 1997 and today we remember him how an example of educator.
