About Me

My name is Natalí, I´m 21 years old (turning 22 next week), and this is my 4th year in Lenguas Vivas.  I started working this year, and I´m a 5th grade teacher, as well as a literature teacher for 6th and 7th grade.  I´m also in charge of a new project at the school, "IT Lab", where all the groups, from 1st to 7th grade, come to the computer lab once a week, and explore the many things they can do online to learn, practice, create, read, and much more, in English.  

I know this subject will help me a lot, since I´ve only had one class and I already learned new things you can do online, such as the wordles, or this blog!  Hopefully I can learn to produce more variety of materials for all my students, and go beyond the creation of printed material.

I know this generation of students is more comfortable or more entertained with the digital, and I should really be taking advantage of this.  I am certain there is so much a teacher can do using digital material for his/her lessons, and if the students are entertained or engaged, their motiviation to learn increases in a big way.

I couldn´t be taking this subject at a better time in my life than right now, when I´m starting my job and I´m quite new at all these things.  Hopefully I´ll learn a lot and I can profit from everything and apply it in all my courses this coming year.

Looking forward to a great term!
