Welcome to Meet the Teacher \u2013 CodeMonkey\u2019s blog segment where teachers from all over the world share their experiences on what it\u2019s like being an educator.\u00a0Today\u2019s post features Jason Thigpen who is a K-8\u00a0Especialista en tecnolog\u00eda en Bronx Community Charter<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>en Bronx, NY.<\/em><\/h3>\n

“<\/span>Honestamente, [me convert\u00ed en maestra por] el estado de la educaci\u00f3n en tecnolog\u00eda y ciencias de la computaci\u00f3n junto con las circunstancias de la vida. Si bien la ense\u00f1anza no fue la primera opci\u00f3n, siempre he respondido a la llamada de entrenadores y \/ o instructores en \u00e1reas en las que tengo experiencia. El puesto actual en el que me siento estuvo en proceso durante m\u00e1s de 2 a\u00f1os desde la primera vez que visit\u00e9 la escuela como profesional de TI para un d\u00eda en el que los estudiantes me hicieron preguntas sobre mi negocio y el trabajo que realizaba. \u2026METROy background is not in education but in Information Technology. As a connected educator, I am able to gauge students’ learning curve and points of frustration because it’s familiar territory. I sometimes make reference to an agile software development method called \u200bPair Programming\u200b which has programmers work in pairs to solve problems. I lead with a \u200bvideo\u200b and make mention of the technique periodically in class i.e. ‘Let your motivation drive you while your heart navigates’.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[Trabajar con ni\u00f1os cambi\u00f3 mi perspectiva del mundo]<\/span>\u00a0because splitting my time as a professional and entrepreneur in IT for years, you end up educating colleagues and clients on various technologies. At times, the politics of working with\u00a0<\/span>adults can disrupt the process of changing the world, while working with children you quickly realize there is more potential. Educating children<\/a> has the best chance of global innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Para m\u00ed es importante que mis alumnos tengan un ejemplo claro de c\u00f3mo lograr sus objetivos educativos, ya sea obtener una calificaci\u00f3n aprobatoria o completar un proyecto a partir de actividades de aprendizaje independientes.<\/p>\n

[My tip for teachers is to] first, look at how you use technology daily and then examine how your students use technology before buying into a solution or resource. Teaching has been a great opportunity for me introduce students to the Computer Science principles and techniques that will hopefully follow them for years to come.“<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
