My teaching philosophy is comprised in a few sentences: Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself. (Chinese Proverb)- Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds, do not
overload them. Put there just a spark. ( Anatole France)
Where there is a will, there is a way. (Idiom)Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire (W.Yeats) Give us the tools and we'll finish the job (Winston Churchill) Nothing endures but change (Heraclitus) If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you got. If what you are doing isn't working, try something else (NLP) I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. (Isaac Asimov) Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. (Pablo Picasso) Any teacher who can be replaced by a computer...should be. (Arthur C. Clarke) Grow by doing (Michael Wesch) "Specialized
competence can come only through a more generalized competence, which
is to say that economic utility is a by-product of a good education"
(Neil Postman) Life is a learning process. While you are learning, it's exciting. If you stop learning, it's over. (Clint Eastwood) Las musas te han de pillar trabajando. (Pablo Picasso) The bad use of a new technology is not an argument against its good use (Jorge Wagensberg, A más como, menos porqué 2006- Tusquets) What we ask students to do is who we ask them to be (Kathleen Blake Yancey, Postmodernism, Palimpsest and Portfolios, 2004) The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today. (G.Siemens,Connectivism 2004) (... to be continued) |
