Miss Soto: I chose more part of the new than the 20 lines because the text had short lines so i thought it was better. Besides I don't know how to enlarge the picture , but i discovered that if you download it, you can see it clearly.

propiedad intelectual

La tecnología avanza cada día más con el objeto de facilitar nuestras actividades cotidianas. Es así como además de aportar en el área de las ciencias, aporta en todas las áreas que el hombre ha estudiado durante estos últimos siglos y una de las beneficiadas es el área de las letras. Contar con programas que faciliten la escritura, ortografía, orden y formalidad ha permitido al hombre crear textos que contengan idas, historias, estudios y un sinfín de información escrita que se puede conservar y dar uso de manera física. Así, la educación cuenta con información escrita y a lo largo de la historia de la educación estos textos han servido para la enseñanza de la mayoría de los alumnos quienes han adquirido la mayoría de sus conocimientos leyendo la información contenida en los libros. Sin embargo, estos textos si bien tienen la patente y la seguridad de ser propiedades privadas de sus autores, hoy en día la información que hay en internet también tiene propietarios, pero con el afán de facilitar la información que hay en la red, éstas tienen el peligro de ser copiadas y plagiadas por visitantes de los sitios donde se encuentran los escritos. La propiedad intelectual se define como “el reconocimiento de un derecho en particular a favor de un autor u otros titulares de derechos, sobre las obras del intelecto humano” lo que señala el hecho de la apropiación de información por parte de sus creadores. Es esto lo que hoy se cumple pero no en su totalidad, y por ello se debiese crear una forma más estricta para no correr el riesgo de sufrir robos intelectuales. Claro está que si esto ocurriera habría un cambio enorme de manejo de información a nivel mundial. Se supone que el avance que ha habido con la disponibilidad de información es un hecho que ha facilitado mucho a las nuevas generaciones, por lo tanto la dependencia que se ha creado con esta situación provocaría un gran descontento general. Los más perjudicados serían los estudiantes que se han criado en una Era donde todos los escritos se encuentran online y tienen el privilegio de poder ser copiados y pegados. Requeriría de un cambio de ship general que probablemente no les sea muy fácil y en definitiva, como son las nuevas generaciones, no se permitiría. Pero con todo esto, ¿es en realidad un avance?. Lamentablemente si lo miramos a nivel macro, no lo es puesto que pudiendo copiar tan fácilmente la información que se necesita desde internet, los navegadores alrededor del mundo no desarrollan un escrito propio, solo se repite la misma información para todos y no se logra desarrollar la habilidad de creación y eso es indispensable para el futuro de nuestros actuales estudiantes ya que serán ellos los que desarrollen y lleven a cabo las próximas investigaciones en distintas áreas de la humanidad. Es así como una vez más podemos ver que la tecnología actúa como facilitador en nuestras vidas, sin embargo en este caso la tecnología está facilitando de tal modo que la gente disponga de escritos y los utilice como información propia, algo que no significa un avance para la humanidad en el ámbito de estudios, sino una imposibilidad y un estancamiento intelectual a nivel mundial.

Las TIC en la educación chilena

A lo largo de la historia educacional en nuestro país, hemos sufrido grandes cambios lógicamente en pos de mejorar cada vez más las técnicas de enseñanza y esto ha traído consigo una actualización general de acuerdo con las tecnologías que nos ha presentado el mundo debido a la globalización. Más allá de los beneficios que esta actualización nos entregue, es necesario detenerse a pensar si las técnicas que Chile ha logrado adaptar gracias a influencias extranjeras, son o no las adecuadas para un progreso efectivo. Chile como todos los países del mundo, se caracteriza por presentar muchas y variadas realidades aun cuando pertenezcamos todos a la misma nación. No podemos comparar, claro está, la educación que se lleva a cabo al sur de nuestro país en islas muy lejanas con cualquier ciudad moderna como lo son Santiago o Concepción, y esto se muestra de manera notoria. Esto ocurre debido a razones geográficas y demográficas así como también por razones económicas. Es así como las realidades presentes en todo el territorio chileno ameritan distintos tipos de técnicas con las que realizar un proceso de aprendizaje. Con esto, queda más que claro que la manera de educar en un contexto, aun cuando sea efectivo en un lugar, en otro puede ser un total desastre. Con el tiempo pareciera ser que esto no ha sido tomado en cuenta y se ha vuelto muy común ver escuelas rurales con equipamientos computacionales totalmente destrozados o abandonados debido a su inutilización. ¿Es problema de los alumnos?, ¿de los profesores?, ¿de los encargados de estos “laboratorios computacionales”? la respuesta es clara, enviar equipamiento computacional sin tener en cuenta el contexto al cual se debe adaptar es un gran error y eso está a cargo de las grandes autoridades de nuestro país. Las tecnologías hoy en día son muy importantes, sin embargo no son la única y más efectiva forma de enseñar para los profesores. Las TIC (tecnologías de la información y comunicación) son un método que el ministerio de educación ha querido integrar en la educación debido a la Era del Internet que vive nuestra actual generación y busca la integración de todos los alumnos a un mundo globalizado y de información fácil de conseguir. ¿Es efectivo contar hoy en día con ellas en nuestro país? Sí, lo son, ya que como se dijo anteriormente son muy útiles para conseguir información y brinda accesibilidad a todos para trabajar con equidad. Pero, si no se tiene conocimiento suficiente para su utilización, ¿resulta factible integrarlas de igual forma? Chile debería invertir en TIC pero teniendo en cuenta de antemano, el contexto en el que se pondrán a disposición estos equipamientos. Así, por ejemplo, en ciudades capacitadas para esta tecnología debiesen tener a disposición todo tipo de equipos computacionales, y en lugares más lejanos a lo que es “ciudad”, deberían tener también a disposición estos equipos y con esto a alguien encargado que sepa manejar y enseñar a manejarlos. Es un hecho que a medida que pase el tiempo, será cada vez más necesario tener conocimiento de las nuevas tecnologías y finalmente serán imprescindibles para nuestras vidas, pero no podemos centrarnos sólo en una manera de educar. Hay tantas formas de llevar a cabo un aprendizaje como docentes para hacerlos y eso debemos respetarlo, puesto que la creatividad es una habilidad que se agradece y lamentablemente se pierde cada vez más debido a la facilidad de copiar que existe hoy en Internet.

One story, two formats

Throughout the years, we have witnessed how authors of best novels and written stories have transformed their stories to movies or into great films telling them in a similar or a different way. Books usually tell the stories in a “describing way” because of the possibility that words gives us to explain and capture features of places, stuff, environment, smells, frangances, people features etc. And in movies, the image of a scene is important, but no more than the story itself.

The story of “The million Dollar Bond Robbery” by Agatha Christie is about a theft of Scotland and London bank’s money in a liner while is crossing the sea to come to New York to increase the credits in that country. The case is investigated by Mr. Poirot who must to find the person that planned this huge robbery. Everything starts with a conversation between a woman and an important investigator: Mr. Poirot. She goes to visit him with the intention to ask him for help because of her fiancé’s troubles. Her fiance was in charge of the money that was stolen from its package in a trip aboard “The Olympia” so at that time, he was the only one guilty. Nevertheless, the lady was pretty sure that his future husband wasn’t the guilty so she wanted Mr. Poirot to discover the real guilty in this case. Mr. Poirot heard her version and then her fiance’s version to start the investigation. Then he goes to visit every single person involve in this case, any character to talk to him and corroborate his still uncertain theories. To summarize, Mr. Vavasour, the director of “London and Scottish Bank”, as I said before, wanted to increase credits outside the country to reach more area to make business. He and his associate Mr. Shaw put a million dollar bond in a locked package to transport it by a liner: “The Olympia” making responsible to the assistant general manager Mr. Ridgeway (lady’s fiancé) who was the only one that had to carry on the bonds, having the special key to open the package. So in that trip the package was opened and the bonds were stolen. The story ends when Mr. Poirot corroborates the whole story making the pieces complete the puzzle. He discovers that one of the characters within the people in charge of the money was contacted with a guy outside to steal the money before it aboard “The Olympia”. This character was Mr. Shaw who was really close to the director of “London and Scottish Bank” Mr. Vavasour, who contacted a person to receive the money and sell the bonds in New York before “The Olympia” arrived to that country.

There are many differences between the movie and the book, starting with the way it was told. The story in the book is told by Hastings while in the movie is told from outside the story. Besides, the story in the movie suffered some changes with the times within the story. Let me explain myself. The story in the book it is told in past, telling the facts of the theft days ago, and with this, the case must be found out by Mr. Poirot time after. In the movie, the story is in the present and Mr. Poirot must look for the guilty during the stolen is happening. In the video, Mr. Vavasour, the general director of the bank, with his associate Mr. Shaw, calls to Mr. Poirot to avoid the possible robbery they could suffer. They both are in charge to make this trip in the liner called “The Queen Mary” unlike in the written format called “The Olympia” and if one of them has any problem, it would be replaced by Mr. Ridgeway who always show how interested was to make this trip because of his necessity of the money because of his gambling. During the development of the story in the video format, characters like Mr. Ridgeway, give many clues to make the receptor doubt of everybody in the case. But finally everything make sense and the links are evident.

In my opinion, I have always enjoyed both ways of format to tell stories, I mean in movies or in books. But it’s different and in this case it was very well shown. For example my favorite book is called “A place called Here” which is full of description, something that you do not realize when you watch a movie. This fact happens because you focus your attention in the story instead the details of the presentation (environment). Even though sometimes the director or the producer of the movie tries to create a complete image, we need to see the scene repeated times to find details that we usually do not watch at the first time, that’s the reason why people like me likes watching the same movie many times. So in the books you enjoy when you uses words and phrases to create your own image to imagine what is happening with the story and among the characters in there. With the written story of “The million Dollar Bond Robbery” happens the same. The book plays with vocabulary including words in French, and writing dialogues mixed with description, enough to make the story more fun and interesting. But these were not enough in a video so we could see that the story has to be changed. Anyway when I have the option to read or watch a movie with the same story, I have to decide very well because it always happens to me that if I read a book, then the movie is awful for me, but when I only watch the movie, I enjoy it so much anyway. In Agatha Cristie’s story, I liked both ways but if I have to decide which I preferred, I could say that I preferred the video, because I like this kind of acting, it reminds me when I watch movies with my dad any Sunday afternoon and he starts to guess everything. Stories like this one helps me to increase my vocabulary in a funny way, and when it’s about books and stories, I enjoy very much reading them over again.

My special friend forever

I was in high school when I saw him. He was so handsome, there was a close resemblance between him and my platonic love, so I fell in love quickly with Zac. As time passed, at first I met his friends, who were skaters and friends of some friends of mine. However, it was difficult to me to meet him, because he was really shy and he didn’t use to meet people by himself. So in that situation, I had to find a way to get there. But in that period, something happened. A friend of him started to talk to me so we started a very good relationship, something that with the time, it turned to a romance. Yes, it was beautiful, but I walked away from Zac increasingly. Anyway, time passed and all of that finished, so I realized that Zac was still in my heart. With the time, Zac’s friends were still friends of mine so I decided to get close to him, anyway, he knew I does existed… I wasn’t invisible. So one day, I was in my city’s park when he arrived (of course I knew perfectly he will come), and I said hello to him to start a conversation. It was awful! Because of my nerves, but… it was the start of something new. Then we start talking often, he used to go riding bicycle to take me to a restaurant with the idea of chatting and eat chocolate cakes, unforgettable. With this, we became friends, and it was amazing the way we used to find opportunities to chat and laugh. Nevertheless, we didn’t have the courage to say anything so; we didn’t do anything until somebody appeared in his life. I lost my chance and I fell in sadness. I had to forget him, to don’t suffer more later. Then years passed and we didn’t have communication, but one day we joined in the downtown, and started talking again. We remembered past times and we laughed again. Now Zac is beside me, as my boyfriend, talking and laughing as friends, but with deeper feelings than time ago.

A love story

Do you remember Mr. Boggis? Yes the man who used to wear a disguise to cheat people with the objective to make business related to pieces of furniture. Well, time after his failed story with “The Chippendale Commode” in which he had to see his future fortune broken in huge pieces of the commode he anxiously wanted, he had to returned to the reality and follow to devise to cheat people around London getting what he wanted. Well this success changed everything, I will tell you why. Mr Boggis was a smart kid, his parents knew from the beginning he will be really intelligent in his entire life to take good decisions to be the best in whatever he wanted and so he does. Boggis grew up and he was the best in his studies in London and his parents and whole family where very proud of him. But something happened when he was teenager. He met a girl, a beautiful girl as smart as him. They met while they were making charity activities with father McKenzie, the priest of the nearest church in London, England. He saw her and immediately fell in love.They started to chat everyday and every moment they could be together. She fell in love too. They lived the best summer together ever and they became a couple and also friends. Until she had to come back to her country. Yes, she came from Ireland to visit her relatives in London and he didn’t know that, until that moment. When he realized about their reality, he was the saddest boy in the world. She wouldn’t come back ever. She should have to help her father with the company of furniture. Girl’s father has this company far away from Dublin, in a town called Cork where they live too. So they had to come back as soon as possible to Ireland because of the company’s clients. The couple was quite sad but they had to go away anyway because their lives where distant. He was unhappy, very unhappy, and the time passed and his sadness didn’t stop. He started to think lots of ways to travel and be with her, but he couldn’t because he had a future in London, according to what his parents wanted. But his interests changed and he didn’t want to be that kind of professional anymore. He wanted to make up something. Something related to her, something her family would accept and love. That will be… the most beautiful piece of furniture that anybody had seen ever. That would capture the attention of the world, and most important, the irish girl’s attention. But he should start seeing if he could be able to do that kind of talented creations working with specifically wood. So the time passed and he started to work with wood to continue with oak and other kinds of strong materials. He wanted then to demonstrate to his parents that he didn’t want to continue his studies at the university, instead that, he would be an artist. However they hated the idea. Boggis had to take a decision and had to leave the house as soon as possible. He had to organize himself and had to think about some issues that in his past life were his parents’ issues. How could he get enough money for living? With which money he could eat every day? Where he will live? These ones were questions that he wondered for a long time, but well, his love for her were bigger than everything. But his interests changed once again. Time passed and Boggis became the man you knew at Preacher’s Delight story. Actually his job became to be his life! His pieces of furniture were his passion nowadays and all his life was related to his business. His love for the Irish girl disappeared for him… well… that was what he thought and felt. So after the episode of the commode, he realized his job turned a lie because he suddenly started to cheat people and he turned his job only to business and win money instead what was deeply in his heart: creation. So time after the story of the commode that you know, in fact, he decided to return to what he really used to enjoy. He ment his workshop to start with the creation because he knew he developed a special talent. Many months later, he had enough different pieces of furniture to buy or make an exposition. Which would be the best option?
One day he saw on the newspaper about an exhibition of wood pieces of furniture. He received this as a sign and of course and decided to go, because something tells him he had to be there. So the day of the exhibition came and he went with his best pieces of furniture, beautiful pieces made with the best oak and the best details. Being there he realized his work was really different than the others. His were original and made with natural materials with a stamp and not like the others that were simple and commercial. He was free of clients who were asking and buying his work since he came, when suddenly a wonderful woman arrived to his place. He saw her and discovered immediately who was. How do not remember her spectacular blue eyes? Whose shy expression in her face used to drive him crazy the warm days during that summer… it wasn’t any doubt and nothing had changed in their hearts… they were still in love with each other and life wouldn’t get apart again…

The book The Jack Randa Hotel made me think about what I want to my future. Ok I would like to be a professional with a lot of tittles to get a good job. I like the idea about teaching in a University because I could treat with people who will be interested in the language of English no like in a school where the students are there by obligation. So I would like that after my many trips around the world to improve my skills. But the thing is that is not the only aspect that I want in my life. I have been living my life with a wonderful family and they are my support whenever and wherever I am so is also something that I want to have… a family. But how could I have these BIG things good together? Could I? it’s really difficult I mean a good professional getting a lot of job needs a lot of time to do the things. For example a good doctor is working in a hospital full time and he doesn’t have the time for other things out of his work! So that disgusting! But the person that is working part time can take care the house, children, etc. So which will be my choice? That’s a really difficult decision and sometimes we can’t choose too. What about the big mistakes that people do?. So that makes you stop with your plans to the future. I can see that in my parents. My mother was pregnant when she was at university so she had to pause her career. Then she never came back because she wanted to be with her first daughter, also then I arrived so the family was complete. But she couldn’t continue with her studies so she had to wait time later to do it to be the teacher that she is. I think is what she did but I don’t want that. The thing is that I need to find a husband, a great husband to be with me in my family and the things that I want to my future… a husband like my dad. But I think nowadays doesn’t exist…
