EDCT 300 CLASS

EDCT 300 CLASS

Hola a todos! The second of three parts, as promised. I can’t believe how I spent the semester, I am clearly shocked. Upon arriving at the EDTC300 course I was surprised that several had gone through courses that are prerequisites to get here. As an exchange student, I went straight through as I had taken similar courses in my country. But nothing prepared me to see what we saw here. My classmates were the motivation to keep writing my posts,…

I don’t want to say what I learned, because it means saying goodbye

I don’t want to say what I learned, because it means saying goodbye

Hola a todos! I call this series PART OF THREE. Three blogs that I will be uploading soon, are all equally important. Today we are going on a walk down memory lane. I don’t know how it is for you, but for me, the beginning of my studies here was the beginning of another life and I have been reflecting on it in each of my posts. I know that for many it is just another blog, but for me,…

Let’s speak the truth

Let’s speak the truth

Hola a todos! Last post. The pressure is on. We’re assigned to stalk a classmate. I don’t have one, and all of a sudden… Meghan LeCuyer magically appears. Meghan, Meghan, Meghan, Meghan, I’m sorry to tell you that I suck at stalking people. Not guys, girls, my family members when we fight, absolutely nothing. But… I did my best, and this is what I came up with. Meghan LeCuyer, has a pretty name, like someone who could conquer the world…

Trolls out!

Trolls out!

Hola a todos! Today we are going to talk about something that is extremely important (like everything I post here, people), and that is FAKE NEWS. Yes, folks, fake news. We have all been victims at one time or another. They tell us that the end of the world is coming, that prices have fallen, or that a famous person is an alien. But that’s why knowing which are true and which are false is VITAL. Today we will see…

Learning something crucial: How to swim

Learning something crucial: How to swim

Hola a todos! Since my mini-bag is in process. For this week of recess, I decided to learn something entertaining and “half” new: swimming with my head submerged. And no, it’s not that I don’t know how, but it’s tough for me to swim with my head down (very strange). It all started because I live with two girls from Mexico (Mar and Marisol, I love them) who are lifeguards, and both worked in camps with children. So, they invited…

The PRADA bag… could it be a minibag?

The PRADA bag… could it be a minibag?

Hola a todos! Let me tell you… it happened that I started my PRADA bag. Everything was going very well. I followed the instructions of the video, as I told you in my previous blog, but… I kept getting lost with the stitches over and over again. I just couldn’t get the technique down, which was extremely frustrating. I did the first row of circles at least… about five times. Only to realize (when I was about to finally start…

Coding… the story of my life

Coding… the story of my life

Hola a todos! Well… I’m here to tell you a story. It’s the story of how I coded for the first time, but it can also be used as the story of my life, lol. It all started with me coding a small project in Hour of Code (which by the way, was for little kids, the embarrassment only increased) and ended with me frustrated but with one less job. First, I chose a project called Hola Mundo (in Spanish…

The IMPORTANCE of Ribble’s nine elements

The IMPORTANCE of Ribble’s nine elements

Hola a todos! I hope you are having a great week. Today according to our calendar, it’s time to talk about something super important the connection between the SK curriculum and Ribble’s nine elements. As this is not my country, I need to become more familiar with the curriculum and how it works. I took grade 5 (since the age range of my internship course in Chile corresponded to this one) and the English subject (which is the one I…

I am curious to own a PRADA bag

I am curious to own a PRADA bag

Hola a todos! How are you? I’m doing well, catching up with university, as I’m getting closer to going home every day. I feel excited but a little sad to think about this other life I have created here with different times, friends, and habits. How strange life is; I often realize that we are our own home; home will be where I am and where I choose to share who I am. With that mini reflection, I give way…
