Impossible is an opinion.
William Shakespeare, in the story's Dream A Midsummer Night writes: "the dreamer always imagine more Demons than you really are in hell." For this dreamer any proposal is ambitious or impossible. But the story about the planet Earth has shown that sooner or later, impossible projects are achieved, so when someone tells you IMPOSSIBLE! you say: impossible is an opinion.
I confirm that the proposed intervention is in the third week of implementation, although early reviews were very ambitious. So I thought to leave everything in a project to run tomorrow. But when I read the words of Gandhi "You must be the change you want to see in the world", I understood that there is a proposal to bring to the classroom, that I carry inside me and that was the first thing I did. Take a deep reflection about who is Guillermo León Roldán Sosa. The first proposal for ICT intervention in the Run to me. There
changes in me, that the inertia of not to reflect upon them, do not seem to exist. Yes, transformation from a baby to be a man. The same happens with the birth of the ICTs, it is possible that the changes, see them more outside than myself.
When I opened my eyes to ICT, the first impression was not going to able, literally wrote: What I can contribute I will not do or a blog? . But immediately Diego replied: "I would say the most important to the process is to keep an open mind." Well! I did just that and, to that extent really scare the demons do not exist, which are only created by not allowing my brain to move forward.
A transformation was evident in the PLE the quality of writing. Understand that learning is not dependent on a grade, not even for an evaluation. Open your mind to the possibility of knowing people who overcame the problem of the evaluation rating. Progress towards the achievement of other galaxies, where there is solidarity, prudence in the know (I remember Luis Rafael Amario) and the desire not to pass over the other.
understood that the motivation is not the note. The motivation is a desire to experiment with the technology that when you "pica" was born and raised as a grain of corn, beans or a mandarin.
realized that the treasure is not the content but the relationship can be established with others. That neither time nor distance are barriers. Perhaps
transformation was under way to listen to my inner voice: I first heard my inner voice. was a moment of impermanence, no time or space, staring at infinity as in meditation from a Buddhist monk.
was in a position to start the topic: Participation (An alternative view), When you hear - It's time to get out of the center -. For many centuries it has been taught in the center and above all has been the owner of knowledge. By the inertia that drags performance is very difficult to change at any moment. Today gave the first step to get out of the center. I got it with this course (docTIC).
After these weeks of spiritual retreat in DocTIC, I heard a voice inside and outside that I dictate what I write (remember Andrés Peláez), fills me with strength to remove me from the center, encourages me to leave place of power, vanity of being the all-knowing. Now if I am ready to venture with ICT in another space.
I never dabbled with a proposal to ICT in the classroom. I've always used the chalk board. I would like to use ICT to see whether indeed evolve (change, transform) the ideas that students have, on mathematical concepts. The truth it had not the faintest idea, until I get the comment of Blanca Margarita Parra: "Hello, William! My background is in mathematics but I have devoted myself to mathematics education rather than mathematics itself. I'm no expert in this computational tools, but my students have gotten into the use of certain technology tools for the projects I've assigned. Through them I've learned some things. For example, my algebra students (first semester of high school) should make an animation of a batted baseball and then cached by another player. When I proposed the project, I imagined that they would in a succession image on paper in the form of book and animated the leaves go quickly. It was teamwork. The surprise was that each team used different technological tool (which they learned on their own), and no paper. I learned a lot with them. Really, I think students are a source of a lot of knowledge for teaching. The Internet generation are well aware of developments, resources, etc. and are well ahead of their teachers. I think it is a truism that the more limited traditional school supporting the development of students'

Daniel said, "Hey, I share with you a couple of my students work they did in GeoGebra. I think your guys could do something similar (a simulator) with a dynamic geometry software (GeoGebra) that automatically generates an HTML page, which means I could hang dropbox is online. For more information I am at your orders. "
Thus was born the idea of \u200b\u200bthe proposed intervention, promoting the knowledge that students have about the technology, and put aside the belief that the teacher has to explain everything.
I want to make clear that it is a matter of changing technology. Note: From 2006 to 2010, my work environment change: I spent classroom have a board, to be 21 computers, which remain intact, because I did not change.
change I'm just experienced. The small change I am experimenting with joy (I discovered in this course), sometimes scares me. Since I'm learning on par with my students, that change is not technological, it is not even in the methods of teaching. The revolution is in a different way to conceive of the teaching-learning process, in the words of Diego Leal "We can not continue to assume that technology will change things itself, because it is not. There is a change in technology and dare I say it is not simply a rafter teaching techniques. It is a change in the conception of how and to serve education. "
With respect to the assessment of an apprentice baker, there are 2 ways to evaluate it: First, to write an article on how to make bread. Second, to make bread.
I opt for the second, I made the bread.

"The proposed intervention was reassessed, and her encounter:
" A more precise justification for this alternative learning.
-Information about the change that this proposal represents the current field of mathematics.
-author references which give veracity to the document.
"A runtime handling more precise. Definition of roles
student-moderator.
I think the proposal may sound a bit ambitious, maybe because I'm at the stage of APPRENTICE INTERESTED really catches my attention the issues raised in the document, but the uncertainty that creates change my notebook to the blog and from teacher to moderator will block until you find the "taste" to this new strategy.
Despite all my fears, I give a heartfelt thank for taking the time to introduce something different that we may change the concept of learning.
child's story is a perfect example for situations that occur daily in educational institutions, teachers with limited thinking methodologies that do not motivate students to be required, to think that there is something more outside the classroom and the teacher's views.
only remains to follow this new path, to try to change history. "
