According to the test that I took I turned out to be Guardians which are people who are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services--from supervision to maintenance and supply -- and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses,but this is just part of the definition of being Guardians and I agree with that but not all of it,if there are patters to follow or personalities descriptions,everyone should have some of that,that's why we are different to each other and that's the reason why there's a difference between all of us. Everyone have the "it" thing or element that makes us unique,good or bad,black or white it doesn't really matter,the thing is that we can live,talk,share,understand and love each other,that's the beautiful thing of life...

Curfew for teenagers


Sleep is important for learning as well as for growing. That’s why teen curfew (regular bed-time) is so important and we need to focus on that because nowadays it doesn't seem a relevant issue. It is important to our chidren to have fun,laugh,hang out with friends,be aware of what's going on around them but it's also important too,that they need to know that,as adolescents, they have to respect some rules and why not,to take advantage of that,if it's possible for them to see one. It's not a punishment to have some time,be and share with their family,relax and to take a time off and maybe that's it's something we sould be able to teach them, be at home it doesn't necessarily mean that children will be boring but if we show them how this time,which can be hell to them, can be a quality time for all of us.

"the dumbest possible thing that works"


There are no words for this page but fun,you don't use this page to look for information you just have to use it to "have fun",to try to use a piece of information in an original,colourful,and totally different way as we are used to,in fact I created one,but unfortunately,without actually knowing that I was creating one so it turned out to be anonymous and untitle,but anyway it was really fun.(This picture it's just an example of that)

General Educational Law


In this class Mr. Litman show us a ppt about how to make a good presentation and which are the steps to follow like the greeting of course,the topic: what are we gonna talk about,the plan:to tell in how many parts the presentation is divided,what are we gonna do during the presentation,etc and finally the aim which basically is what we expect from our classmates to know at the end of this presentation. After that Valentina,Angela,Catalina and Renato made a presentation about The General Educacional Law.They talked about what this law is about,the advantages and desadvantages and what we thought about it which it's something important to know not just because we are future teachers but because we're part of this kind of change in the society in which students demand nothing more than educaction for each and everyone with the same standards for everyone.

learning to learn


In the class we talked about what we should have in mind this semester,which is be more responsables about our duty of this subject which it's not something that hard...be 100% concentrated in class and what is happening on it, write in our blogs and correct or check any mistake if there's any and participate in class,give our opinions or comments about presentations,say what my classmates can improve or to get better results, etc. that was in the firs part of the class. In the second part we went to the english computer laboratory to look for information about LEARNING TO LEARN process in this new web http://www.cuil.com/ which it turns to be a very interesting topic because it shows you how the process of teaching and the relationship between student-teacher and teacher-student it's completly different nowadays or at least there is something that we all should work on it, Ann McLanachan for example she says: Everything that the school does should be designed to inspire the children's learning. 'It's all right for teachers to take forward interests of their own but the priority is the learning of the youngsters. Of course, the teachers also want job satisfaction. If we can get the two together, we've cracked it.' and that's,I think,it's something we should be interested in,of course it's important to have good results as a teacher and as a student but if we can have this kind of satisfaction together as a team it would be even better!

The morning after pill

This presentation was made by Carla and Claudia


They talk about the morning after pill and it was a very interesting topic, they show us the effect,the pros and against,and they give us a debate question for us to talk about it,the only problem with the question was that it wasn't clear....the topic was the morning after pill,the debate question was When we think life begin?,then a classmate gave her opinion saying that she was against the pill but if the situacion is:abuse or the girl is raped or something like that she might think in taking the pill,which it's something that I agree 100 % even though I'm against the abortion,but the girls of the presentation put God in the middle of that,and....ok we're talking about the life of a person who was raped so I think it's not fair to put your beliefs in the middle of that....but anyway....it was a good presentation,but it wasn't a good preparation for a debate,because we started to talk about something and we end up talking about something else,so my advice for the girls if I can give them one is that they should prepare a little bit more if they wanna make a good debate among the students.

Student's Strike

Once again it's possible to see the students on strike but this time it's about the LGE. Students are challenging the foundations on which much of the school curriculum is based,and they want to change a lot of thing according to educational system,and that's fine for me, but I think that the way they use to even "try" to make that change it's WRONG very WRONG!!!! You're not gonna be punished if you do something right,it's impossible to take you seriously if you keep doing stupid things like student did and still doing,that's the way I see the strike thing. I truly believe in what we called "the power of the word" ,communication,without that, you just can't do absolutely anything,that's the way I think this can be different for all of us,because it's not fair either not be able to go out of your house just because the student don't let you to do anything without feeling scared because something can happen, and it's not getting better nowadays,the situation actually it's getting worse and worse and it seems that,nobody wants to do something about it,lets change the future of our education,the education of our children and the education of our country,but in a good way,like it should be done.
