Can I help you?

During the last weeks we have been working on our Bank of Common Knowledge, where we all show how to do the things we can do. Because everyone can do something special, right?
I chose to show how to use the manual modes of an DSLR camera.
I have my presentation already done and I'll post it in a few minutes!

My PLE

My PLE (Personal Learning Environment):
My English skills are practically based on having watched hundreds of hours (not consecutively, of course) of English spoken videos. Generally gameplay videos, because I love videogames, but I wasn't able to play them for some time, so I decided to watch other people play!
Later on I started reading some books in English, so it isn't very difficult anymore for me.

My Personal Learning Network (PLN) would be something like this, nowadays:
I also have been translating on Twitter Translation Center for a while, reaching to belong to the 13% of the best translators! Although I've leaved it apart and surely my ranking has dropped a bit.
I've contributed in some official and fan forums in English, for quite a long time.
But I'm most proud of having entered a non-official (but pretty known, being among the fastest and with less faults) groups of translators of a certain game. It was tough because we had to code the translation and none of us had much experience in the game's language (Java).

And what is your PLE like?

Classroom posters


Still in the beginning of the course, we decided to prepare some things for it.
Isn't studying and doing exams too boring? It's better to make, design or just search posters to decorate the classroom!
Here we're going to organize, share and publish our posters, so that some teachers can choose the ones that will be printed.
Although, we still can vote and commend ourselves!
Let's see which ones get elected at the end...

I've sent some to the teacher, Diego, for him to upload them. They are:
- Future: Forge your destiny, don't waste your time, your future is YOU!
- Guide: As a guide for your life. Leverage your time and what you do, towards prosperity.
- Time: Take benefits of what you do, do not let fear stop you, take advantage of your effort. Because if you do not work, aren't you wasting your life?

What do you think?

Me

My name is Mike. I'm fifteen years old and the second youngest among my four brothers. The three eldest of them are already in their thirties and are married. But they live pretty far away from here, although the last time all the family was together was this summer, in the wedding of the youngest of the three. I had to be over fourteen hours on different planes just to get there!


There are about eleven thousand km to there, Malaysia. We ate there lots of different Asian foods, and I'd say it's my favorite type of food. Specially Japanese food, but sadly I don't eat much of it here.
I like to read books in my free time and sometimes to write short stories or just to do martial arts like karate.
In school I like maths, physics, chemistry and biology, although I haven't really been centered enough last years.
Regarding sports, some time ago I played tennis and went swimming a lot, but now I don't have all the time I used to spend on them. Nowadays I just go to the gym or practice martial arts like Aikido, Karate or Muay Thai.
I don't really support any team of any game, because I hate to watch them on TV and I don't go to watch matches wherever they play them.
About my future, I'm not fully sure yet what I want to be or study in college, but I do know it'll be an engineering.
