4/7/2018 0 Comments Do [the] I['s] Have It?Last week I had the distinct honor, privilege, and pleasure of attending, presenting, and serving as a discussant at the 2018 Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) Annual Conference: Re-Mapping Global Education - South-North Dialogue, in Mexico City, Mexico.
During the conference, I presented "Do [the] I['s] Have It? Using Ubuntu's 'We' and Descartes' 'I' to Examine Pedagogical Engagements" during the Indigenous Knowledge and the Academy Special Interest Group (SIG) Philosophical and Theoretical Reflections on Ways of Knowing round-table session. And I served as a discussant during the Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) SIG Research Track: Perceptions and Attitudes Towards ICT-Based Teaching and Learning Paper Sessions. I also met some cool people while at and around the conference: Tutaleni (one of my advisors), Pita, Binda, Rebecca, Mariette, Eiman, Qiu (Autumn), Maia, Eric, Cao, Pei-Wei, Nicole, Jennifer, Stephen, Dezmond, Jasmine, Shelly, Jose, Jesus, Thomas, and more. Instead of a whole lot of words, I'll just let the pictures do the talking...good times.

I Am Because We Are Creative Equals...My youngest brother, Aaron, took these pictures on April 28, 2017. Aaron and my dad attended my very first presentation during the American Educational Research Association 2017 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, TX. I presented "I Am Because We Are Creative Equals: Technology Skills as Defined, Discussed, and Demonstrated by Students in a Middle School" during the Online Teaching & Learning Special Interest Group (SIG) paper session on "Promoting Student Success."
I was also glad to have my sister-classmates from Heritage Knowledge in Action (HeKA) Research Group, one research partner, and two professors in the audience. They not only supported me by being present, but they also encouraged me by asking questions. I ran out of presentation time before I could share everything, so their questions helped me share out what I did not get a chance to say during my presentation. Thanks, good people! Lesson learned: NO MORE THAN 10 SLIDES for any presentation. En Español Mi hermano menor, Aaron, tomó estas fotos el 28 de abril de 2017. Aaron y papá asistieron a mi primera presentación en la Reunión Anual 2017 de la Asociación de Investigación Educativa Americana en San Antonio, TX. Presenté 'Soy Porque Somos Iguales Creativos: Habilidades Tecnológicas Definidas, Discutidas y Demostradas por Estudiantes en una Escuela Secundaria' durante la sesión de papel del Grupo de Interés Especial (SIG) de Enseñanza y Aprendizaje en Línea sobre 'Promoción del Éxito Estudiantil'. También me alegró tener a mis compañeras de clase de la Heritage Knowledge in Action (HeKA) Research Group, una compañera de investigación y dos profesores en la audiencia. No solo me apoyaron estando presentes, sino que también me alentaron haciendo preguntas. Me quedé sin tiempo de presentación antes de poder compartir todo, así que sus preguntas me ayudaron a comunicar lo que no tuve la oportunidad de decir durante mi presentación. ¡Gracias, buena gente! Lección aprendida: NO MÁS DE 10 DIAPÓSITIVAS para cualquier presentación. |
