I have been in and out of a classroom as a teacher and student for most of my life and I love teaching and learning new things. I have been working in education for the past 12 years: as a classroom teacher at Centro Colombo Americano, Colegio San Carlos, ABC English and Universidad Nacional de Colombia, as well as a consultant and policy-maker at the Ministry of Education. Since March 2008, I have been the Technology Director at GLM.
I hold a Master's degree in Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and an undergraduate degree in Spanish Philology from Universidad Nacional de Colombia. I believe that educational technology can help change and improve the quality of teaching, learning, assessement and administration in schools, some of the most change-resistant organizations in our society. Furthermore, I think learning how to use technology to communicate, research, create, make decisions and ultimately learn continually is critical to the success of any society and a responsibility of every school. GLM has shared this view since the inception of it educational technology program in the 2008-2009 school year.
You can navigate through this site using the top menu to find out more about my interests and work or use the search box if you know what you are looking for. You'll find some samples of my work, as well as my two blogs: vitacora, my personal weblog, and edgeek, my blog about educational technology. If you wish to see some pictures, visit my Flickr account or the Photos section of this website (I stopped using Flicker and only upload images here). I've also published a couple of my presentations on Google Video, some other things on eSnips and in other publishing/social sites on the web I just can't track. If for some weird reason you wanna check out the stuff I've bookmarked on the web, just visit my shared bookmarks. No, seriously, you might find useful stuff if you share any of my interests and are willing to bear with my chaotic tagging.
