Myself

Hello everybody!!!

My name is Laura García and I am from Rubí a city near Barcelona. I am 23 years old and I am an Early Childhood Education teacher.

I finished the degree almost two years ago in the Faculty Blanquerna, in Ramon Llull University and last year I was working in Dublin as au pair. It was a really good experience that I would recommend to live at least once in a life. This experience allowed me to put into practice the knowledge I learned in my degree with the children that I was looking after and to improve my knowledge of the English language. I also did an online course at the Faculty of Administration and Information (CMIT) in Ireland on Child Psychology FETAC Level 6.

Currently I am working in Departament d’Ensanyament as English teacher and I am studying the Masters in Teaching and Learning of English in Primary Education and Childhood Education which I believe will complement my knowledge and my experience, providing great value to my career.

Regarding to ICT I should say I am not very good at it but I am pushing myself in order to improve in this area. Using new technologies in schools is a reality and because of that I decided to do this optional subject.

Since two weeks ago I am using Symbaloo and I think it is a very clear and easy tool to use on day-to-day. Using social bookmarking lets you share internet links with other people and also the possibility of discovering new internet pages. In this way as teachers it becomes a great tool to be used in the class since it allows you keep interesting internet addresses and the chance to access to them from any device with internet. Nowadays I am also using Flipboard and I have to admit that I am hooked, I have it on my phone and it lets me to be kept up with all the latest news.

Well girls now it is your time, looking forward to know more about you.

Laura
