Day 3 – #iTecGDA #SomebodySaveMe #VandR

--Originally published at iWeek – iTec

They  want us to talk in public! Say whaaaaaat.
LOL I was just kidding guys. OK
Today we have an amazing talk with Autumm Caines , Bonnie Stewart and Sundi Richard.
You can watch the whole video in the link below

I’m the good looking guy with a green t-shirt in the right LOL
So we discuss about our digital activity, about what is like to be a Visitor or a Resident.
A visitor is someone who is just around on the web, searching for stuff, watching videos, reading, etc; but he is not being active by leaving his print on it. He’s just for a “visit”
A resident is the person who is being active, he publish every time he can, comment on others people’s work, you can find whatever he’s doing on the web because he left a digital print online.
If you have more doubt or anything you can watch the following video too.

Also check on his web page his blogpost, his name is David White

Visitors & Residents

We also make and activity of our own with a chart of #VandR
This is mine:

So I believe that my mayor activity online is on Twitter, because I post almost every thought I have. Well you can search for me on twitter by @AntonioAngel_M or just follow me in here

That’s a video from the #iTecGDA group this morning.
And please before you go to another place watch this video about me interviewing my sister Edith asking her why does she know about digital identity and #VandR

See you on the next blog, or tomorrow in Auditorio 1 at Tec de Monterrey Campus Guadalajara.

Please leave a comment below.
Kind regards to all of you


Day 2 – #iTecGDA #iSafari

Hello again everyone. So, a few hours ago I realized that not only Ken read my blog from last night.

So, ok, day 2.. I arrived a little earlier today because I was so tired this morning, so I stopped by OXXO and get me a coffee.
Ken talk about the people that we were about to meet in the day.
But first, before any conference (or talk), we had this little exercise called photo safari. We were supposed to take pictures in any way we want, in a creative, crazy, unique way of our own.

Here I present to you my work:

Just as a reminder, I am not a pro photographer so I hope you like them.

Moving forward, we had our very first talk of the day with Laura Gogia and Lee Skallerup. They taught us how to blog things that we care, that are important for us, and of course, why not, blog about something that could benefit others.
Please feel free to watch the video of our little chat

Then we had a talk with Alan Levine and Amy Burvall. Both of them were amazing, and taught us so much about the freedom of the internet.

All the talks were great, and I promise to continue this blog post but it is 11:57 pm and I have to upload this before midnight so..

Thank you for everything guys, I hope that you could read this sometime and if you do, please leave a comment.
Thank you and keep doing what you do for people like us


Requirements to Grow as a Person

To grow as a person you need to know your strengths and your weaknesses.

Why? The answer is very easy,  you need to know your weaknesses in order to fight against them and you need to use your strengths as tools to accomplish your objectives.

The first day Ken ask us kindly to make a list of 5 thing that you like or you are good at, 5 things you have problems with and 5 things you do no one else know.

It was deeper than I thought but in the end I found my 5 Strengths and Weaknesses.

Today we went into a iSafari, we went outside the Classroom and search for those keywords we identify with our analysis.

I will share my pictures.

Strengths:

Eduaction Picture

Education:

“I don’t love studying, I hate studying. I love learning. Learning is BEAUTIFUL.” Natalie Portman

The education is the best tool we can use to learn, I love all the Flipped Learning method Ken apply for all his clases, because he give us the motivation to learn by the method we want so we can really learn instead of only memorize all the stuff to approve one course.

Also some time ago I was a teacher and I loved it, in the future I will love to be a teacher again.

That is the reason I choose to take a picture with Ken.

Service:

One of the things I love is to help people. I try to be helpful every time, I love explaining other people what I know or help other people find what they need or what they want.

The Best leader is the one who can serve to anyone.

Leadership:

If there is an university in México where you learn to be both a hard worker and a successful leader is the Tecnológico de Monterrey, they prepare us to be Leaders of our own professional path. Leadership is a value you need to have if you want to be someone successful in the future.

Remember to be a good leader you need to be a excellent worker, always give everything and love what you do.

The one in the picture is a friend of mine, his name is Raul and he is a Police commander, he is an excellent leader and he is one of the good guys, if we had more officers like he México would be a very different place.

Unstoppable:

And I mean it, is hard for me to keep the interest in something but when I do, I would never stop until I achieve my goal, that could be saw as a Weakness also but lets say is more positive. If you know me, sometimes I’m distracted because I’m always thinking on how to do what I have to do.

I AM UNSTOPPABLE

I only found one weakness in the campus but that doesn’t mean I only have one.

itecgda0005

Distracted:

Generally I focus all my attention in things that really care to me so I forget other things or I don’t do them in the better way it can be done. The best way to fight this weakness is to learn to manage my time and always focus in what I have to do and no in what I like to do.

Thanks To everyone.

Day 1 – #iTecGDA

Hi everyone, but i’m pretty sure the only one who’s gonna read this blog post is going to be Ken.
So, this is the iWeek, and I got in this workshop called iTec GDA.
The main purpose of this workshop is for us (the students) and all of you guys who can follow us the whole week by getting in touch with the hashtag #iTecGDA on Twitter or on Facebook. 14467056_10201991668669682_1116713564_o.jpg

Today was the first, and we have with us the professor and Ken’s friend Dave Cormier. He gave us a talk (kind of like TED TALKS), about the importance of the Digital identity, what are the pros and the cons. We discuss a lot about the safety of the information that we share and the certain precautions we should take. I’ll leave the video of the whole talk down, so if you want to discuss anything you should probably get in contact with with.

Also we make the exercise of 5-5-5
This works like this:
You must write down of a sheet of paper –>
– 5 things you like about yourself
– 5 things you think you must get better at
– 5 things that the people don’t know about you

And finally we got time to create our own blogs and “Webpages”, beside watching some videos about a Ciberbullying TEDTALK.

I’m getting excited about the themes and topics, and I look forward to go tomorrow.

First Day, First Guest (Dave Cormier)

--Originally published at iTecGda – Code With Charlie

Today we started with the right foot, our first Guest David is awesome, he talked about a lot of useful things, almost all of them where related with the main subject of this workshop The Digital Identity.

He talked about what Digital identity is. The digital identity is like a knife, it could be used for good of for bad, the internet is not private even when it says is “private”, the servers are computers and a lot of people have access to them so they can see your private content.

He told us to use our Digital Identity for good, all or almost all of the companies have evolved, they use the social networks as a part of they recruitment process  to know which type of person you are, what you like to do and if you have what they need, so be careful posting things you don’t thing will like to your future employer.

He also told us that if we have a negative Digital Identity we can work out of there, start to do different things until the good things overcome the bad things.

It was a very interesting conference, if you want to see it I will leave the video below.
