I´m a teacher... Not a Saint!!!!

Sorry, pals, but there´s something I´ve wanted to say since I became a kindergarten teacher, many, many years ago... The FACT that I am a teacher, and that I work with kids, DOESN´T mean that I want them around ALL THE TIME... It doesn´t mean, either, that I´m always, available for everyone, anytime, (at least, not willingly)...

Has the world ever thought of teachers as HUMAN BEINGS? I know I sometimes don´t look like one... But I swear I am!!!!!

Reflecting on G´s Video on monks and new Technologies

Reflecting on the TIC course

The course has been most interesting.
It has not been easy to take, and to make progress in it... But who says making progress has EVER been so?
So many new things to learn... So short a time... But, with a little help from your facilitator and your mates... Nothing, absolutely nothing is impossible...!!!!
As the Nike logo goes... IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!!!!
And now... The sky is the limit!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a million to my dear Gladys, who has always been so patient with me, and my ignorance on computers... and to Lu, a wonderful learning partner...
Good job, everyone... And now, let´s enjoy our winter holidays!!!!

Site validation

In our 3rd Assessment Session, our teacher asked us to validate a site-
Doing so was both exciting and interesting, as we found ourselves analizing many sites we thought would be trustworthy, and finally, we found they were not... So, pals, be careful when looking for info!!!!!

Assessment Session 3
Validating a Web Site
Learners´names: Girolimini, Lucía
                            Rocchi Turrillo, Karina
Facilitator´s name: Mrs. Gladys Baya

1) & 2)We chose to look for websites referring to the Origins of the English Language. Therefore, we thought it most convenient to refer to the Merriam-Webster site.
Being Merriam-Webster one of the authorities in the field of the language, we thought the information and contents provided would be accurate enough.
We can corroborate the authenticity of the said site by looking at the logo, the credentials referring to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the accuracy of the vocabulary which is definitely related to the topic, and the URL.
3)As regards objectivity, we both thought the vocabulary used in the present site is as free from bias as it can be, because the topic is inherently related to facts and the few ads which appear are strongly related to teaching languages and technological appliances sponsored by Merrian-Webster.
4) There are no dead links in the present page, and this tells us that the site is regularly updated and looked at.
5) There is no special software fees required to have access to the present page.

Are you curious about SPAM?!

The present article was sent to me by our TIC teacher, in order to teach us how on Earth SPAM appeared in our lives... Quite amusing to play with different kinds of fonts, formats and images... Help yourself!!!!!!!

What is spam?

If you use email, you´ll have encountered spam. But do you know where the term comes from, and why it´s used to refer to unwanted email?

“Spam” is an acronym derived from the words “spiced” and “ham”. In 1937, the Hormel Foods Corporation (USA) started apelling minced sausage made from out-of-date meat. The Americans refused to buy this unappetizing product. To avoid financial losses the owner of the company, Mr. Hormel, launched a massive advertising campaign which resulted in a contract to provide tinned meat products to the Army and Navy. In 1937, Hormel Foods began to supply its products to American and allied troops. After World War 2, with Britain in the grups of an economic crisis, spam was one of the few meat products that wasn´t rationed and hence was widely available. George Orwell, in his book “1984”m descrubed soan as “pink meat pieces”, which gave a new meaning to the word “spam” - something disgusting but inevitable.

In December 1970 the BBC television comedy series Monty Pyton´s Flying Circus showed a sketch set in a café where nearly every item on the menu included spam – the tinned meat product. As the wairter recited the SPAM-fillled menu, a chorus of Viking patrons drowned out all other conversation with a song repeating “SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM... lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM”, hence “SPAMming” the dialogue.  Since then spam has been associated with unwanted, obstrusive, excessive information which suppresses required messages.

In 1993 the term “spam” was first introduced with reference to unsolicited or undesired bulk electronic messages. Richard Dephew, administrator of the world.wide distributed Internet discussion system Usenet, wrote a program which mistakenly caused the release of dozens of recursive messages onto the news.admin.policy newsgroup. The recipients immediately found an appropriate name for these obstrusive messages – spam.

On April 12 1994, a husband-and-wife firm of lawyers, Canter & Spiegel, posted the first massive spam mailing. The compañy´s programmer employed Usenet to advertise the services offered by Canter & Siegel, thus giving a atart to commercial spam.

Today the word “spam” is widely used in Email terminology, though Hormelo tinned meat products are still on sale in the USA.

Types of spam
Spam comes in many different varieties, ranging from advertising of legitimate goods and services to political propaganda to Internet scams. Spam worldwide tends to advertise a certain range of goods and services irrespective of language and geography.

Spammers constantly extend the range of their offers and are always searching for new ways of attracting unwary users. The list of spam categories is growing. However, when averaged out over the course of the year, 50% of spam falls into the following categories:
1. Adult content                                                    4. Personal finance
2. Health                                                               5. Education and training
3. IT

Hi Everyone!!!!!

Becoming a successful teacher is not an easy task at all.
In my case, I think I was born a teacher, but the way I´ve made my way into the proffession of teaching has always been full of hope, new experiences, laughter, joy... And why should I deny it, many, many tears.
Tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears due to hard cases, tears of achievement... Teaching is very similar to motherhood, in a way... That is why I always say.... My students are like my sons and daughters...
