Este es el resumen de los envíos del mes de Agosto a este diario, como fue el último mes de mi estancia (hasta el día 18) publiqué algunas conclusiones: Mi clase (qué bien me lo pasé!) y la Metodología Didáctica en Berkeley. Dos centímetros, Dos paises sobre las diferencias de mundo dentro de USA. Is Berkeley a safe city?. Opinion about Berkeley and Meleia's issue. Viaje al final de las clases: Some dreams can be true (Surf Class), Lost in SFO while I'm...

Por ejemplo puedes revisar diez sugerencias para enseñar mejor o una lista de recursos para mejorar la enseñanza. En este sentido, hacer el CAP es una pérdida de tiempo (no aprendes nada) pero leyendo estos documentos yo he aprendido un montón. Sin embargo respecto a la clase me esperaba mucho más la verdad. Básicamente es mucho más práctica, con relación más directa con el alumno, mucho trabajo en eq...

Salvo Patrick (Francés), Assane (Senegalés) y yo, el resto de los alumnos eran asiáticos: Corea, Taiwan, Japón y Hong Kong. En concreto los nombres eran: Sung Min, Gyu Min, Patrick, Maggie, Jin Ah, Ji Hee, Jayeun, Mina, Yoshy, John, Shantelle, Assane, Ava, Sang Gyeyong y Cesáreo. A veces los asiáticos se cambian el nombre para "occidentalizarlo", o sea que no es su nombre original. La media de edad debía ser sobre 22 añ...

Finally I couldn't get a iMac to try OS X, the operating system of Mac. I have used it for about 20 minutes so, only some perceptions. Graphics are incredible. I'm on a IMacG5 with a 20' display and it's really nice to work on it. But I miss my linux/windowmaker. It's not so cool but it is faster and I'm get on it. iMac is a little expensive but has the advantage that you have almos all software you need. Desktop is beautiful and you have all staff by...

It has been difficult to take the bus at 06:00 AM. Here, in Sunday, life doesn't exist until 10 AM. I had no bus, no train (BART) so the only chance to take the 6AM bus to Santa Cruz was to take a ride of someone to the airport. But, finally, it was Oakland Airport, not SFO Airport, so I was $50 by taxi from there. No way, go back to house, sleeping in a coach, make some calls to Spain, chatting with loving people and, after brunch (breakfast + lunch) try to take 1...

You need A Beach. There is a lot of beaches in Santa Cruz. From San Francisco I took a Greyhound Bus. To Sleep: This is a cheap place to stay and you can book-it on-line (three days before). If you are a group you can find very good rooms for $100 ($20 each one). To eat: I suppose that $20 each day is enough To learn: It should be a lot of choices, but I contact this good school: Richard Smith School. I think prices are too expensive. It dep...

La última clase fue hoy 12 de Agosto en casa del profesor (David Skolnik). Revisamos el último trabajo que era un periódico realizado con MS Publisher en grupos de tres. Estuvimos en casa de David, con su familia (esposa y una hija bebé) y disfrutamos tranquilamente de nuestro último día de clase. Terminamos yendo a comer a un restaurante hindú (uf! qué picante la comida), cogimos el bus y regresamos al campus. O sea que se terminó lo que se daba. My ESL Summer cla...

Sometimes, news about violence are not followed completely and only helps to increase our fears. Newspaper pieces about Meleia's killing in Berkeley can show us what is the actual story behind the scenes. Probably she was killed by a friend in an not-so-clear incident and not because Berkeley is a dangerous place. Two weeks ago, on July 17, Meleia Willis-S...

This kind of interview represents what I like most in Berkeley. You can spend a good time talking with a teacher. It could be a trivial thing but doing that in Spain (unless in my University) it is strange. Perhaps too much ego, not all but mostly, in spanish-university teachers Tom McNichol has been a member of CCSF faculty since 1984 and has been teaching in UC Berkeley some course o...

Some people of Tauhouse (my residence house) went there and we were trying to figure out a budget for a trip. There are different kind of trip. We prefered by car because it's cheaper and makes the trip more interensting. An aproximate budget could be: Car Rental: $205 for five days. You can calculate a maximum of $60/day, more days it is cheaper, but for estimations it is a good rate). Gas: $140 round trip Sleeping $100 for a roo... Wed, 03 Aug 2005 07:06:42 GMT
