Skills in my area of study...


Hi! Today I’m going to talk you about the main skills in my area of study. Firstly, like a future professional education I think that is very important for us be motivated and have real interest in this area. Also is very important develop different skills that let us have a good hold in our pedagogical practice. For example be patient, creative and enthusiastic to attract student’s attention and of this way improve the education, generating students whit wants to learn. This is very important because many times the fail school is connected with the methods of education developed by teachers and a good teacher must be able to recognize the principal problems of student when they are learning.
Other skills we must take into account that are to have always like objective to improve the quality of education being something really necessary today in the educational system and for stimulate the equal of opportunities especially in school that belong at the municipal system.
In my opinion the skills that are inborn by who choose work in this area are the enthusiastic and motivation. Also is inborn (in the career that I study) to have a special connection whit children and be patient…very patient. And skills that are learnt are principally doing connection between the elements of the theory that we learn in the University with the capacity to apply this in the practice, for example to recognize a learning problem.
I think that in the University, we don`t acquired the skill necessaries to be a good professional because this University only are interesting in the investigation area and we hardly ever have subjects that let us develop a good class. Would be appropriate for us have subjects of didactic and first aid.
Finally because all mentioned I believe that I don`t really prepares for my work wise but maybe whit practice I can do it!

I love my notebook!


The best technological invention for me are the notebook, this machine has been really wonderful for me. My dad bought me a notebook in October, 2009 because I liked it so much and I was all last year saving up money, but it was not enough, then my dad gave me the rest of money I needed. Since I have my notebook I use it all time while I stay at home, and is really very important for me because it lets me do my homework, investigation works, doing social life, download music, videos, etcetera.

Before I had to use a computer in the study room that was used by my sister, my brother and my mother and it was sometimes very complicated, mainly when my brothers and me needed computer to study. Also in winter many times I had to stay in the room sitting in front of the computer doing a work with a blanket and the stove because the hands were frozen to me and I couldn´t write.

However with my notebook I can use it wherever (and where it reaches to receive WiFi signal) and it is a great benefit because I now can stay doing homework or connected to messenger from my bed and at nights I don´t feel cold so much like before.

I like my notebook, it is my prefer technological machine and one that really has changed my life. I love it so much! If I didn´t have it maybe I still would have to hope that my brothers vacate the computer and I hated it.

Iquique, my favourite trip


Hello! Today I am going to talk about my trip at the capital of first region, Iquique. I visit this place this year for the summer holydays in January. This was the first time I travelled by plane, because my dad said that by car it could be really stressful. The fly lasted two hours approximately and it was very exciting for me.
This trip was in family, I went whit my parents, my sister and my brother and we stayed there for a week. In this time we all days went to Cavancha beach. Also we did a motorboat ride to visit a place in the sea where stay the Esmeralda`s rests, sinked during the Naval Combat of Iquique, on May, 21, 1879. We went to shopping three days at ZOFRI, the traditional Frank Zone of Iquique; this is a great commercial center. Here we bought many things like perfumes, electrical appliances, and innovators things to price.
Undoubtedly, my favourite place that I visited in this trip was Pica. Here we did a guided tour to Saltpeter Office Humberstone, declared a National Monument. This is a very interesting place because is great and has got many old buildings, like a hospital, a theater, a nice square, a church, a little museum and the jobs instruments of the working-class. Humberstone is a full history place and really fantastic! I enjoyed so much visiting it.

"Maria Montessori" a model to follow...


Hi, today I am going to speak about Maria Montessori. She was born on August 31, 1870 in Italy, was physician, educator, philosopher, humanitarian and devout Catholic.
Firstly she study in a technical school to becoming an engineer, then she study biology and finally she was accepted in the Medicine Faculty at University of Rome. In 1986 she was graduated how the first woman doctor in her country.
However she is best known for her philosophy and the Montessori Method of education of children from birth to adolescence. She based her idea in the respect to child and in their learning capacity. Children haven`t be a parent`s reproduction and imperfect teachers but children must be seen like a hope for the humanity, because I admire her.
Montessori Method has been since 1907, when Maria Montessori created the first children’s house in Roma (Italy). The work of Maria Montessori was not only develop a new method of learn, but also discover the life and help to child to achieve his potential like human. And developing this potential through of senses in a prepared environment and using the scientific observation of a trained teacher. Of this Way children have the opportunity of learn and use freedom from of the years of developing.
Finally the education method Montessori is the capacity of teacher to love and respect to children like persons and be sensitive to their needs and her educational method is in use today in a number of public as well as private schools throughout the world.
