2009 was an exciting year for me, in all places where I taught. And Galileo Galilei (institute with which I have great affection for the opportunities extended to me from the beginning) is no exception. Using
today a review of the activities that have touched me develop the secondary school in roughly performs the following tasks:
- I taught a group of first year, a group of second year (both CB) and first year of Bachelor in Computer optional area. These groups enjoyed excellent experiences, and groups that I have recorded Chiquilines very nice memories.
- Mand undertook the optimization College Web site , optimizing some areas, such as improvement in student participation on the site, the possibility that teachers could upload their materials for students to have access from their accounts, the first stage of the virtual library, a space for expression for students, developing the schedule and more.
- worked together with G. Goicoechea (we were classmates in high school, and now colleagues, he as a history teacher) to develop the first stage video library of the institute, taking new approaches to some subjects.
- I was responsible for improvement in laboratory mation technology, and that since the beginning of the year improving their skills.
- participated in the program of education and dissemination of Opera Campus Crew, winning the silver certificate for outstanding participation in this program.
- I took over the design of various printed material internal use and dissemination of the institution.
is a very nice place to work, and the main thing in any educational institution is the relationship with students. Relevant experiences have left many throughout the year. I had to work with students who put great effort in learning. I also had to experience some challenges with some of them, who were recompensados with better results than expected. At this point I would stress to colleagues who may read this, that dedication to learning of students spend a lot for the interest shown first teacher. Students who refused to work changed their attitude with just a little interest on my part, and that was encouraging, and I will not stop using techniques well.
I had the opportunity to work with teachers really dedicated to his career highlights, whom I admire a lot in general. Also with excellent ascribed who sometimes left hanging in the presentation of my work (sorry from now), and recently said goodbye to one of them, who had to take other courses, who missed mucho. Also the director, who has supported me in everything developed during the year, and who is not afraid to show new directions in which to improve, expanding my experience. As I told you once, I'm very comfortable here. About
end of the year, say goodbye to students completing their studies, and with mixed emotions as we celebrated in style. I hope they can achieve their future goals.
Now
goals lie ahead in which to work during 2010.
For now, I have allocated some extra tasks:
- further improve portal studies, focused now more information for visitexternal before the institute, put the curriculum, interact better with parents, keeping track of tasks assigned to students and more.
- I have been assigned a partner (very valuable colleague who already know, whose daughter was one of my students, very creative by the way). I help mainly on the issue of the website.
- have a space work a little more "administrative" through which I have to be more in touch with teachers, seeking information for each month or week in terms of activities for web publishing, printing, suggestions , media support and more to improve the overall work experience, and to support and student supportbefore. This work is half office, half walk through the classrooms and staff rooms (I think it will be fun and I can learn more about the teachers:))
addition, the Institute launched a proposal to further enhance the lab computer through the purchase of updated equipment. For this reason, proposed the creation of a wine at a winery in Montevideo. Wine label (called Galileo Galilei ) was selected by competition among design students, and I'm flattered that the winning team was comprised of students from one of my classes.
also change the location of the facility, for which I offered towork, and that somehow I belong, to be responsible for the laboratory.
No doubt next year will be even more to do, but for now, was this a year of experience, and I'm sure it will be like in 2010.
