Africa belongs to Africans

Hello my dear African youth,
First of all, i am proud to be an African.
We, young people represent the future of this continent.
Of course, we are not from the same countries.
Of course, we are not from the same culture.
May be we do not practice the same religions.
But we all are Africans and now is the time us for to change our mind and get up to struggle for our rights.
It is not time now in the 21 century to sleep a lot.
It is not time for us to spend all the day doing nothing.
It is time to have a created mind.
Let's think of our future.
No one except us can build a better future for us.
Let's study hard.
Let's do our utmost to go ahead every single day in our life.
Anybody can face difficulties in his or her life.
Such is life.
Our parents are counting on us.
Our families are counting on us my dear brothers and sisters.
our countries are counting on us.
Let's be proud of what we are doing.
Let's love what we chose in our life.
My fellow African young people,
Life is a daily struggle.
Life may be will never be too easy again.
But we are free to do what we want in our life.
We don't do the same things.
We don't like the same things.
But anyone is good in something in this life.
Use your talent.
Show who you are.
Stop thinking that people are better than you.
At last, this is my motto for you:
"Whoever you are,whatever you do, wherever you go, try to be the best among your mates"
God bless all of us peace in the world.

Life is a daily struggle

Oh my dear brothers and sisters,
Be useful,
Be useful for yourself,
Be useful for your parents,
Be useful in your family,
Be useful in your living place,
Be useful in your society,
Be useful in your country,
Oh my dear brothers and sisters,
Life is a daily struggle,
Stop thinking that you will not succeed ,
Stop thinking that your life is useless,
Stop thinking that others are better than you,
Oh my dear brothers and sisters,
Maybe you do not know what you have in you,
you are good in something,
Love yourself and try to do what is good for you,
you only can change your life,
Don't count on people to change your life,
Use your talent and show what you are able to do in your living place,
If you fail, do not give up,
You are not the first person in this life to fail,
It is not shameful to fail,
Get out from your hopeless,
Dream big and struggle every single day in your life to achieve it,
Be proud of yourself and what you do my dear brothers and sisters,
Your time of happiness is very soon,
But maybe you do not know,
Go ahead my dear brothers and sisters,
Your happiness is very very soon,
So never give up.

¿Qué es un Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizaje?

¿Qué es un Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizaje?
En este blog se explicará de manera resumida el concepto  de una AVA (ambiente virtual de aprendizaje).
Observa el siguiente video donde Ale Felix (2012), explica el concepto AVA así las ventajas así como cuáles son los requerimientos en las cuales opera, los requerimientos del espacio y cuáles son las consideraciones para un AVA.

De acuerdo a la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana,
Un Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizaje es el conjunto de entornos de interacción, sincrónica y asincrónica, donde, con base en un programa curricular, se lleva a cabo el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje, a través de un sistema de administración de aprendizaje.


Se podría decir que un AVA es un espacio virtual mediado a través del internet y utilizando diversas tecnologías multimedia donde la interacción se da entre el alumno docente, alumno, material, docente-alumno. La comunicación es factor clave para que un Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizaje sea exitoso. La comunicación se da de dos maneras, de manera sincrónica es decir comunicación en el mismo tiempo y espacio ejemplo de esto son los chats, facetime, Skype o algún otro medio donde se permita la comunicación en tiempo real.  Y el otro tipo de comunicación se da de manera asincrónica, ejemplo de esto es la mensajería, correo electrónico, donde se deja mensajes esperando que el tutor pueda responder las dudas o inquietudes que salgan de las actividades.



De acuerdo a López Rayón, Escalera Ledesma (2002) los Ambientes Virtuales de Aprendizaje (AVA), lo define como “el conjunto de entornos de interacción, sincrónica y asincrónica, donde, con base en un programa curricular, se lleva a cabo el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje, a través de un sistema de administración de aprendizaje”. La interacción es una característica importante de los ambientes virtuales ya que es a través de medios como la mensajería, foros, y chats que los individuos podrán comunicarse y externar sus dudas, experiencias y aprendizajes. Sin la comunicación efectiva se corre el riesgo de que el AVA fracase, ya que es la comunicación de cualquier tipo lo que hace una característica fundamental. La comunicación es el único medio que se tiene para poder expresar las dudas, inquietudes, compartir experiencias y conocimientos.
Acerca de la gestión del ambiente de aprendizaje requiere de la estructuración e integración de los diferentes entornos, Chan Nuñez menciona los siguientes:
- Elección de los soportes o plataformas que convengan para contar con los espacios y recursos requeridos para las prácticas educativas.
- Integrar en cada entorno del ambiente de aprendizaje los contenidos y recursos que posibilitarán su función.
- Proponer y disponer las regulaciones y condiciones que faciliten interacciones con sentido para los participantes en el entorno de aprendizaje.
Cada una de estas tareas permitirá que el asesor y estudiantes puedan entender fácilmente la plataforma. La plataforma será el “salón de clases” y que para haya éxito debe ser accesible y fácil de entender. Además los materiales y contenidos deben ser acordes a las características del programa educativo.
En este infograma se representa de manera breve sobre las características y definición del AVA:


Para concluir, considero que los Ambientes Virtuales de Aprendizaje son un arma sumamente poderosa que traspasa todas las fronteras. Sin duda alguna los AVAs se han formado gracias al conjunto de tecnologías y sobre todo de personas decididas a aportar a la educación a distancia. Podremos tener las mejores tecnologías para desarrollar un AVA pero si la gente que trabaja en un AVA no está comprometida, es seguro que el AVA no será exitoso. Y viceversa podremos tener las mejores personas dedicadas a los AVAs pero si cuenta con tecnología limitada no se podrá hacer o alcanzar grandes avances o logros como se esperan, por  lo que un AVA exitoso sería el conjunto de personas dedicadas y decididas a apoyar a personas motivadas a superarse en línea así como el conjunto de tecnologías que a través del uso de Internet y nuevas tecnologías serán capaces de desarrollar programas de calidad. Es un reto que se tiene hoy en día, romper con ideas o estereotipos de que los AVAs no funcionan ya no que tienen credibilidad o que no son confiables.  Aunque cambiar estas ideas no será fácil estoy segura que los AVAs hablarán por sí sólos cuando las personas se den cuenta que la educación a distancia, desde la aparición del Internet, ha existido y funciona.

To be a Teen



TO BE A TEEN
                                                    by Zilene Leondy
"To be or not to be
that's the question"
Who really am I?
The mirror tells me the truth or lie?
Parents consider me ready
But, look at my belly!
I'm physically mature
Are you sure?
Sometimes, I feel like
I'm a good manager and do everything that I want
But the walls around my life, say me
You don't!  You're reliant
I'm a scientist of my life
I check, I test, I cry
Why am I so frustrated?
I already know everything I am related
What I can see is not like that
I’m sure if I bet
I’ll bring more happiness to me
I’m aware of my power
I’ll be popular, loved, happy and rich
I’ll do something right now,
I’m impulsive!
But to be always strong seems like weak
I’m freak!


JUST A TEEN !

Desiring not to be a child, I refuse to be an adult. While wishing privacy, I don’t want to be alone. Not accepting criticism I need to be accepted anyway. When teased, I react Reacting, I’m misunderstood. Wishing freedom, I need limits. Fighting for my own identity, I experience other’s. Being challenged, I learn Learning, I feel more secure. Keeping quiet, I think Thinking, I keep quiet. Asleep, I dream Dreaming, I wake up. I’m just a teen !

TEENAGERS                                         
                                  

By Débora Mariana Ribeiro

How to describe the most powerful and intense stage of a human being in some lines?

There are innumerable feelings and adjectives to depict a teen
Emotional and easy-going, in some cases
Extremely cooperative when praised
Noisy can be used for most of them, naïve for some
Always connected
Glad, creative, and curious
Especially when they are in a good mood
Reactive, confused, lazy and moody, at any time

Seeking for love and respect, they are incredible and amazing beings.

Teenagers

When I look at you
Vivacious teens I see.
So gorgeous walking through the isles
Sometimes afraid, however no one says this.
I guess freedom would be your names
All happy and full of glee

But life isn’t fair, 
that’s why I want to help you get free.

Teens in Cambodia

Teens in Cambodia
By Reaksa Moeun

Teens enjoy things hated by the older.
They don’t care, while their parents care for them.
They like to do things against their teachers.
We do feel hard to accept their problems.
They’re so talkative about useless things.
They are really stubborn and dogmatic.
When we ask them to work; they have no feeling,
But they like to be praised and romantic.
What can be done right for Cambodian teens?
What helps them live in a good society?
What are crucial answers for these questions?
We really want to give them their safety.
We hope teens would be more reliable.

They’ll know our ideas are acceptable.

Teens

Teens




Waiting for the future,
Hoping for the best,
Believing nothing,
Our minds have no rest.


Wrapped in the fads,
Belonging to "the pack",
Lost in the world sometimes,
We search for our track.


Childish and adult,
Hysterical and fair,
Understanding's difficult,
Just show us that you care!

teen poem



Brainstormed adjectives : creative, loving, active, energetic, self-assured, confident, adaptable, curious, bright, kind and intelligent
who I am ???
Who says I can't be a writer or an artist,
How creative and loving I am!
Who says I can't be a famous gold medalist athlete,
How active and energetic I am !
Who says i can't be a president,
How self-assured and confident I am !
who says I can't be a greatest inventor or a scientist
How adaptable and curious I am !
Who says i can't be a doctor
How bright and kind and intelligent.I am!
Who says I can't be a brightening star one day
I have a brightest halo
All I need is an atmosphere where I can grow
All I need is a warm and good hand that I can hold
 Who am i??
Of course, i' m a teen . . . .

TEENS

    TEENS

TEENS ARE ADVENTUROUS AND REBELLIOUS,

EMOTIONAL AND SOMETIMES COURAGEOUS,

ENERGETIC AND PATHETIC,

NEVERLAND IS DREAM FOR THEM,

SUNNY DAYS - FROM THEM THEY STEM.

  • I know 

I know with my enthusiasm, I will cross each ocean
I know with my passionate desire, I will climb each mountain
You know, I am confused now but I will soon have the answers
I know with my rebellion songs, I will ask tough questions
I know with my  deep emotions, I will protect the most vulnerable 
You know, I am moody now but I will soon reach my destination

Teenager Acrostic!

Teenagers are opinionated and technological, so they need to feel 
Engage and connected to the world they live in. 
Encouraging them to express and be real
Never would make them feel out of place or mean
And they will have the heart to get in the race. 
Gaining confidence is what will lead them to the correct way.
Eager they are to out stand and have some recognition and place 
Resting in the correct decisions will make them focus stay.
