Since the dawn of man we have looked for more efficient ways to
manipulate our environment, we have developed new technologies that help
us to work, record information and communicate. With every new information
the world is changed forever. New technologies effects economics in
nearly every field that affect what we do in our leisure time, they
affect how information is shared. Technologies can improve our lives,
they can light our way to a better future. HOWEVER, if we don´t adopt or
adjust to new innovations we can get left behind. Technolgy is changing
fast, new technological innovations are occurring everyday. THEREFORE,
it's important our children learn how to use this new tools, we need to
invest in the tools, training and infrastructure to engage students in
learning tasks that emphasize creation, manipulation, innovation and are
appropriate tools for active engagment in authentic learning tasks. The studets are ready" we need to engage them or enrage them" they want to learn, they want to learn with the tools that will shape their future.
We
need to be there to help them learn how to critically analize
information, we need to be there to make their experience with these
tools safe, we need the tools to make this happen
I'm Claudio. My mission as an ESL teacher is to greatly improve the lives of those around me, to be an example of high integrity and class, to be a great communicator, to uplift and inspire. To make the teaching experience fun for the students as well as for myself.
To inspire the student to reach new heights, to want to go "outside the box", to challenge the student to go beyond his own perceived limitations and to provide a hunger to want to learn more.
To always hold the student in the best light, to be always going beyond my own pre-conceived notions of the student's talents and abilities, to expect more of the student than he expects of himself, to be a great coach, a great listener, a great inspirer.
And to always expect more of myself as a teacher with constant and ongoing training and development.
