Talleres en Alcalá de Henares

Hemos puesto fin al curso 2023-2024 de los talleres de la Concejalía de Igualdad de Alcalá de Henares gracias a IdeoIgualdad.

Me complace compartir una gran verdad: he aprendido más de lo que me esperaba. Más que todas las personas que han pasado por mis clases. Lo siento, pero es una realidad. Hemos pasado mucho. Para lo bueno y para lo malo, hemos estado al pie del cañón. Y he de decir que estoy muy orgullosa de lo que he hecho.

Gracias por contar conmigo para los talleres de risoterapia, expresión corporal, teatro y redes sociales y gestiones online. Me sentí la estrella del momento, con tantas carpetas y tantos diplomas, aunque siempre seré la misma niña buscando la mirada cómplice de su profe de teatro.

Una de las mayores lecciones que me llevo es que el mundo esta terriblemente falto de cariño... y que el cariño es la solución a todos los problemas. Problemas que vi en las aulas de secundaria se reflejaban en las aulas de mis talleres, que aparecían en todas las casas, en las calles, en las tiendas, en las redes. Nos acusamos de todo, juzgamos, nos cerramos en banda, no queremos compartir la realidad.

Es increíble cómo pararse a respirar y prometer tan sólo unos segundos de escucha o una pizca de confianza pueden cambiar las cosas. Lo único que hay que hacer es mostrar ese cariño.

Gracias al cariño infinito de mi madre y mi padre, de los/las docentes que me han acompañado, de mis amigos y amigas y de mis compañeras de trabajo. Porque, gracias a ese apoyo, yo he avanzado mucho y sigo avanzando.

Ese es el apoyo que quiero mostrar en las aulas. Una pizca de cariño con la que se construye una montaña.

El mundo cambia desde el buen trato.

Sigamos cambiando, divirtiéndonos aprendiendo, sin separarnos por colores, ideas, querellas. Que nos una ese cariño.

I haven't seen anyone mention this but I think having Fifteen cry so much is incredibly important. Boys and men are socialized into not crying or hiding when they are crying, so it's actually pretty rare to see a male character cry on tv. And to have him cry in almost every episode is even rarer.

I think it's really good to have a character like The Doctor, who is a kind of superhero, and who kids look up to, acknowledge that scary and sad situations can make a person cry, instead of retreating into the toxic masculinity of pretending he doesn't care.

La aventura termina...

#Beyou fue una oportunidad para que la juventud cambiara, no el mundo, pero sí su mundo. Desde España, un grupo de jóvenes promesas nos sorprendió conectando generaciones, facilitando el aprendizaje de las lenguas, visibilizando tabúes sociales e integrando a la población inmigrante. Presentaron sus proyectos en Atenas, gracias al acompañamiento de la #UAH , trabajando en conjunto con #OrganizationEarth (que nos ofreció sus instalaciones y su sabiduría), #FondazioneComunitariaDiAgrigentoETrapani (que también organizó la formación de mentores en Sicilia a la que tuve el placer de asistir), #HubNicosia y #ANDCTR.

Hemos echado una mano en #ΜΑΡΓΑΡ��ΤΑ , un hermoso lugar que da apoyo y acompañamiento a personas con discapacidad intelectual, y hemos visitado #CentreOfTheEarth , un espacio verde y lleno de vida en el que se enseña a los niños y niñas a cuidar de la tierra. En un evento internacional lleno de actividades y emoción compartimos el talento y las ganas que la juventud Europea de hacer las cosas bien.

Como mentora/ #youthworker de proyectos españoles, me siento infinitamente afortunada y bastante orgullosa de las maravillas en las que tanto han trabajado. ¡Echad un vistazo!

- Concienciación de minorías estigmatizadas @entre.tabúes (IG/TikTok)

- Asesoramiento jurídico y burocrático @kaaylen._asc (IG)

- Inglés fácil y accesible @talktimetutorials (TikTok)

- Clases para manejar la tecnología más requerida en nuestro día a día con #GeneracionesConectadas de @elenagato5 (IG)

Muchas gracias por la organización y gestión, especialmente a Ines Lopez Baldominos y Luis Fernández Sanz, del departamento de ciencias de la computación de la #UniversidadDeAlcalá; y muchas gracias por contar conmigo una vez más. Este tipo de experiencias te cambian la vida.

I can’t wait to meet other queer Neil Gaiman fans so we can make a group chat called “Gaimen”

[elenjaxx]

Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by

Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.

You. Are. Overstimulated.

People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.

These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.

Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time

Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!

[elenjaxx]

you know what actually pisses me off? when I finally start to feel a smidge of confidence in my writing ability and then some JERK POSTS A SINGLE LINE FROM A TERRY PRATCHETT NOVEL AND IT’S BETTER THAN ANYTHING I WILL EVER WRITE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILLENNIA I SPEND TRYING!

[elenjaxx]

Every fun post on here that encourages people to have hobbies/be creative always gets an avalanche of "Some people are poor Karen" type reactions and respectfully, you're all super annoying. I've never lived above the poverty line and this is a list of hobbies I have that were cheap or entirely free:

Read books: Go to the library, lend a book from a friend

knitting, crochet, embroidery: Get some needles from the bargan store and ask around, people have leftovers from projects they'll happily give you. Thrift stores also often carry leftover fabric and other supplies. And talk about your hobby loud enough and an old lady will show up and gift you their whole collection, because there are way more old ladies with a closet full of wool than there are grandchildren who want to take up the hobby.

Origami/paper crafts: get some scrap paper and scissors, watch a youtube tutorial

walking: put on shoes open door

pilates/yoga/etc: get a mat or just use your carpet, watch a youtube tutorial

Houseplants: look online for people that swap plant cuttings. There are always people giving out stuff for free to get you started. If you're nice enough you'll probably get extra

gardening: You're gonna need some space for this one of course but you can just play around with seeds and cuttings from your grocery vegetables.

aquarium keeping is a bit of an obscure one but I got most of my stuff second hand for cheap or free and now I have a few thousand euro worth of material and plants.

drawing/art: You get very far just playing with bargan store materials. I did my entire art degree with mostly those.

writing: Rotate a cow in your head for free

cooking: again one you can make very expensive, but there are many budget recipes online for free. Look for African or Asian shops to get good rice and cheap spices.

Join a non-profit: Cities will have creative organisations who let you use woodworking machines or screen presses or laser cutters or 3D printers etc etc etc for a small fee. Some libraries also lend out materials.

candle making: You need some molds (cheap), wick, two old cooking pots for au bain marie melting and a ton of scrap candles, ask people to keep them aside for you.

a herbarium, flower pressing: Leaves are free, wildflowers too, ask if you can take from peoples gardens.

puzzles: thrift stores, your grandma probably

Citizen science: look for projects in your area or get the iNaturalist app

And lastly and most importantly: Share! Share your supllies, share your knowledge. Surround yourself with other creative people and before you know it someone will give you a pot of homemade jam and when you want to paint your kabinet someone will have leftover paint in just the right color and you can give them a homemade candle in return and everyone is having fun and building skills and friendships and not a cent is exchanged. We have always lived like this, it's what humans are build to do.

And all of it sure beats sitting behind a computer going "No stranger, I refuse to let myself have a good time."

Anyway I'm logging off bc I'm making some badges for a friend who cooked for me and then I'm going to fix some holes in everyones clothes.

El incalculable valor educativo del vicio a los videojuegos:

(English below)

Hoy no puedo evitar pensar en esas herramientas que "tanto me hicieron perder el tiempo". Se trata, ni más ni menos, que de los videojuegos.

Los videojuegos tienen un gran potencial educativo y de aprendizaje. El "Discovery Tour" de la franquicia de Assassins Creed es un gran ejemplo de ello.

(Captura del Discovery Tour ACOrigins: Serapeo de Alejandría, por Hayden Dingman para NZPcWorld)

En lugar de centrarse en el juego en sí, el "Discovery Tour" se centra en el aspecto educativo del juego, permitiendo a los usuarios explorar y aprender sobre la historia y la cultura de diferentes lugares y épocas de la humanidad. El jugador puede realizar un recorrido virtual, con la posibilidad de interactuar con personajes históricos, aprender sobre eventos y costumbres de la época, y obtener información detallada sobre los escenarios y los objetos que se presentan. Además, ¡incluso puedes saber curiosidades sobre la creación del juego!

Desde cría, siempre pensé que la franquicia tenía un incalculable valor educativo. Ahora que he probado el mundo de la enseñanza, no puedo evitar pensar en las innumerables posibilidades.

Esta herramienta puede ser utilizada en el aula para enseñar a los estudiantes sobre diferentes temas de manera más interactiva y atractiva. El uso de videojuegos y herramientas de realidad virtual puede aumentar la motivación y el compromiso de los estudiantes, lo que puede llevar a una mejor comprensión y retención del material de aprendizaje.

En cuanto a otras áreas de enseñanza, hay muchas posibilidades para el uso de herramientas interactivas como el "Discovery Tour". Por ejemplo, la biología, la geografía, las ciencias sociales, la literatura y muchos otros temas pueden ser explorados y aprendidos a través de juegos y herramientas interactivas.

(Captura del Discovery Tour ACOrigins: Diseño del mapa de Alejandría, por Hayden Dingman para NZPcWorld)

Ahora bien, me encantaría dar un paso más. La revolución que las herramientas de inteligencia artificial están dando —no sólo a las aulas, sino al mundo entero—, hace que el cambio sea todavía más drástico. Imaginaos el "comienzo de una hermosa amistad" entre el machine learning, los entornos interactivos y una potente GUI que deje pasear por cada detalle. ¿Qué será lo próximo?

Siempre pienso en aquel extraño "metaverso" que impulsó la compañía de Zuckerberg. En cuanto a la posibilidad de utilizar herramientas como el "Discovery Tour" en lugar del "metaverso", es importante destacar que estos son conceptos diferentes. El "metaverso" se refiere a un espacio virtual en el que las personas pueden interactuar y realizar actividades similares a las que realizan en el mundo real. Por otro lado, el "Discovery Tour" se centra en la educación y el aprendizaje.

(Captura del Discovery Tour ACOrigins: Faro de Alejandría, por Hayden Dingman para NZPcWorld)

Sin embargo, podría ser una idea interesante si lográramos encontrar el término medio. En mi opinión, la idea del metaverso está curiosa, pero le falta la calidad gráfica que tienen las herramientas como la ya mencionada del Discovery Tour. Ahora bien, ¿y si ese universo virtual ganara en potencia e interactividad? ¿Qué os parecería una clase con Pitágoras en tiempo real?

(Gif de Joey, de la serie Friends, con la expresión "wow")

En resumen, las herramientas de videojuegos y realidad virtual como el "Discovery Tour" tienen un gran potencial educativo y pueden ser utilizadas para enseñar una amplia gama de temas de manera más interactiva y atractiva. Con el avance de la tecnología, es posible que en el futuro veamos el desarrollo de entornos interactivos aún más avanzados para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje.

Y tú, ¿qué opinas?

The incalculable educational value of being addicted to videogames

Today I can't help but think about those tools that made me "waste so much time." I'm talking about videogames.

Video games have great educational and learning potential. The "Discovery Tour" of the Assassins Creed franchise is a great example of this.

(Capture of the Discovery Tour ACOrigins: Serapeum of Alexandria, by Hayden Dingman for NZPcWorld)

Instead of focusing on the game itself, the "Discovery Tour" focuses on the educational aspect of the game, allowing users to explore and learn about the history and culture of different places and periods of humanity. The player can take a virtual tour, with the possibility of interacting with historical characters, learning about events and customs of the time, and obtaining detailed information about the scenarios and objects presented. Besides, you can also learn curious facts about how the game was created!

Since childhood, I always thought that the franchise had incalculable educational value. Now that I have tried the world of teaching, I can't help but think of the countless possibilities.

This tool can be used in the classroom to teach students about different topics in a more interactive and engaging way. The use of video games and virtual reality tools can increase student motivation and engagement, which can lead to better understanding and retention of learning material.

As for other areas of teaching, there are many possibilities for the use of interactive tools like the "Discovery Tour". For example, biology, geography, social sciences, literature, and many other subjects can be explored and learned through games and interactive tools.

(Capture of the Discovery Tour ACOrigins: Design of the map of Alexandria, by Hayden Dingman for NZPcWorld)

Now, I would love to take a step further. The revolution that artificial intelligence tools are bringing - not only to classrooms but to the entire world - makes the change even more drastic. Imagine the "beginning of a beautiful friendship" between machine learning, interactive environments, and a powerful GUI that lets you walk through every detail. What's next?

I always think of that strange "metaverse" that Zuckerberg's company promoted. Regarding the possibility of using tools like the "Discovery Tour" instead of the "metaverse", it is important to note that these are different concepts. The "metaverse" refers to a virtual space in which people can interact and perform activities similar to those they do in the real world. On the other hand, the "Discovery Tour" focuses on education and learning.

(Capture of the Discovery Tour ACOrigins: Lighthouse of Alexandria, by Hayden Dingman for NZPcWorld)

However, it could be an interesting idea if we could find the middle ground. In my opinion, the idea of the metaverse is curious, but it lacks the graphic quality that tools like the aforementioned Discovery Tour have. Now, what if that virtual universe gained in power and interactivity? How about a class with Pythagoras in real time?

(Gif of Joey, from the Friends series, with the expression "wow")

In summary, video game and virtual reality tools like the "Discovery Tour" have great educational potential and can be used to teach a wide range of topics in a more interactive and engaging way. With the advancement of technology, it is possible that in the future we will see the development of even more advanced interactive environments for teaching and learning.

Now it's your turn. What do you thing?
