Besides teaching English, I am a digital art enthusiast. I have been working with digital media for seven years. I believe art is a fundamental area that needs to be more exercised in and outside the classroom. Additionally, I love photography and I have used it to enhance writing in the classroom. For example, I have created small artistic projects where students had to create written stories based on their visual works. By doing this, students allowed themselves to be more creative at the same time they are exercising one part of their communication process.
What is your philosophy of education?
My teaching philosophy has increasingly changed since the first time I decided to become a teacher. I have learned that education is not only a knowledge-shaping process but a life learning experience that fosters professional and academic values in individuals who will make our society a more sustainable place for life in the future. I have also learned that we, educators, are the medium through which knowledge is exercised and shared with learners, and, as such, we need to understand that teaching is about making learners achieve their goals by creating a learning process that is inclusive and personalized.
