This experience has been very interesting, different to all the teaching strategies they have used my previous English teachers.
I actually liked this mechanism, because it is more interactive and dynamic, it is possible to comment on the publications of other colleagues and share your own writings. The most interesting part of the job with the blog, were the themes that I think are important issues, and contributing to whom one wants to write. I liked the most was that thinking about an ideal future, then my imagination took me to conceive great hopes and wishes that I had not stopped to listen. The advantages of this approach to teaching English, are as I said, an interactive method, teacher-student and between student-student. Another advantage is that the topics proposed to publish, produce, in my case more personal motivation at work. The last advantage that I would highlight is the inclusion of the use of ICT in education, because it is very important to keep up with technology and use it as a resource for teaching. As the only disadvantage I refer to the delay to receive the corrections of the publications on my blog, I would have liked to be more fluid, so you might have seen the mistakes he had committed, and have corrected the next time. It is the only thing that would improve this system, because the idea is very interesting, good and beneficial to the students, I'm sure many share this view. Personally waiting for Monday to publish a post on my blog, and I tried to be improving what he wrote, I tried to keep my blog with a nice appearance with the idea to continue using it in the future as a personal tool. I really thank this work and the issues that we proposed to work, I have liked.
Since I chose this career, I've dreamed of working in a rural school in southern Chile.
It is known that in certain localities of the country, children and parents make great efforts to attend school, as these are located several kilometers from their homes, and locomotion in these areas is low if not nil.
The roads are made of stone, to endure low temperatures and rain just to get to classes.
I think that effort is admirable and I would like nothing more than reward the effort with the best education that a teacher can give.
The skills and qualities that need to be able to get used to living far from the city, I have a vocation, willing to teach above all else and a great enthusiasm to motivate students to continue attending despite the great effort that this entails .
I do not think it's hard to find this kind of work, because we are few teachers able to leave everything to educate a group of children, not playing a fundamental role of money. It is a vocation, equity in education, give everyone the same opportunities.
I look forward to that end my career this is my job.
My favorite subject is mathematics, I am going to class on Thursday and Friday mornings.
When I was little considered mathematics too difficult to be learned.
Memorize formulates and solve problems involving a large mental exhaustion for me. Never found a meaning to the resolutions, each becomes a mechanical process for no apparent reason.
I chose the human field at school because of how much I hated math and the teachers of teach.
Mathematics is an essential tool in scientific knowledge. Being an abstract way, learning is difficult for a significant part of students and everyone knows that mathematics is an area that affects most school failure at all levels of education, is the area that shows results in more negative evaluations school.
But this course has helped me overcome that fear and understand that mathematics can be taught in an entertaining, didactic and most importantly significant.
Sometimes it is appropriate to use hours of work, prepared in advance, so students can have different materials to those described in the textbook.
This new look is something I owe to Professor Sonia Lastra, who I have been impregnated with dedication to make fun of learning mathematics.
In 5 years, have 29 years old. Be working in a kindergarten, educating children with limited resources. Besides participating in any research that seeks to deliver tools to improve the quality of education and reduce gender gaps.
Living in a small house, with my love and I will certainly have plans for my first child.
Visit every weekend to my parents, to advise my brother to be in the University and seek time to see my friends of always.
Economically I will have stability, I will continue paying the debt of the university, but with the saved money I will buy a car
I will be happier, more mature, older, more tired, I'll have more experience, I will go to fewer parties, I will continue listening the same music, perhaps more nostalgia. Cook my own food and wash my clothes, miss my mother and I will have to grow. But my girl's soul will live forever.
"A teacher is no longer merely the one who teaches; but one who is himself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach."
(Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Paulo Freire) The first reseach in my career, was about the man who now present. Finding out about his work, his books, his passion for effecting change in education, was a big motivation for me for to continue studying with great enthusiasm. His name is Paulo Freire, was born September 19, 1921 to a middle class family in Recife, Brazil. He became a teacher of Portuguese and under the influence of his mother, got involved in church organisations as a means of addressing the injustices he saw around him. However, he rapidly became aware of the limits of charitable work and the need to move from working "for the people" to working "with the people". In 1959 Freire wrote a doctoral thesis on his experiences of teaching literacy which was so well received that he was appointed Chair of the Philosophy of Education in Recife University. In 1962 he became coordinator of a large literacy programme in Recife and the next year was appointed head of the Brazilian National Literacy Programme. He planned to establish 20,000 literacy groups known as "culture circles". In the following years, whilst working on adult education with the Institute of Agrarian Reform in Chile, Freire's ideas matured and he started writing what would become his seminal work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970). Through this radical pedagogy, he hoped, adults would learn to perceive social, political and economic contradictions and would take action against the opressive elements of reality (a process that Freire called "conscientisation"). In March 1996, as Guest of Honour at the World Conference on Literacy in Philadelphia, Freire was as charismatic, absorbing and radical as ever. He succeeded in reaching a new generation of educationists who, with his inspiration, continue to work for an empowering and liberating approach to education around the world. Finally paulo Freire, died Sao Paulo 2 May 1997. I admire deeply this teacher, and one of my dreams is to continue moving forward on the basis of their work. So I share with him that education is built between all actors involved in it, and an educator who teaches also learns who educates. 
 I am in the fourth year of the degree of pedagogy destined to produce professional specialists in education of the early infancy, that is to say children between 0-8 years. This career looks for the natural continuity of the education of the children, specially from 5 to 8 years, who, in many occasions, demonstrate problems of school adjustment in a fundamental period of their life. The most interesting of the career is that the students are present at practices from the first year. It has allowed us to know in a direct way the educational reality of our country. In addition we can apply the theoretical foundations that teach us the different classes that are given. This relation theory - practice seems to be very important in our formation, since it has allowed me to create affective bows with the children and to reaffirm my vocation. This career is orientated to educational institutions like kindergarden, schools and colleges of the areas public and private. The field can be extended in addition to institutions orientated to the study and investigation in formal and informal education. I want to be a teacher because I want to change the education of my country. Children are the pillar that supported the future, but are the teachers who have the task of guiding the construction of these pillars. In my opinion education professionals are critical in the development of a country in the development of life. To be a teacher, the tools you need are your mind and desire to keep learning forever. You need to dream, desire change and fight for them. To be a teacher you need perseverance, commitment and passion for what you do. Only then can teach.
In this photograph are my two best friends, the people most important to me along with my family. They are pili and Meri .
This photo was taken the summer of 2008, on the beach "Reñaca" of Viña del Mar. This summer was very important to me, because we had fun, and we know very interesting people. We needed some fun because this time the three had trouble loving and we were the team of the broken hearts.
This day, laughed and took the sun for hours, trying to bronze our bodies, but none succeeded. Also, that evening we talked about the plans we had in the future,about our dreams. I will never forget the promises of friendship that we did that summer, the projects that were created between the beach and sun. ..
Every time you look at the photo I smiled, watching us the face of happiness, friendship and complicity, having healed our broken hearts that summer.
I love dear friends. Thanks for each of the moments.
