My favorite book

Mmm ... truth does not know if I could talk about a favorite book, there are many! also is not just a kind of book the I like. I like history books, novels, fiction, science fiction etc.The book I chose to talk about is Legacy, this book is a fictional novel about dragons, this book belongs to a series of four books and the book of which I speak is the last of all.

The author of this saga is a teenager named Christopher Paolini, the first book of this saga was written only when he was 15, an interesting fact is that he was educated at home by his parents and graduated from high school to the same age that when he began writing the first book in the series.

This saga is the story of Eragon, a young farmer who finds a dragon egg and discovers that there are myths and begins an adventure through the land of Algaesia, which is dominated by King Galbatorix, who was responsible for ending with dragons, taking their power and subjugate Algaesia his command. This is how Eragon joins the reveldes, learn from history and magic in the near future to avenge all the hardships of his people.

The last book is about the final battle, I really like this book because it moves to a completely fictional world, this is very entrenido, also there are reflections on the values, is it great!, seems a very interesting proposal. Well, you know, if you like fiction, adventure and reflections of life becomes very interesting to read, so I recommend! :)

Freetime!

During the week, most of the time I'm in the "university", and "activities that I do besides attend classes, they are:  talking and spending time with my friends, since I spend much time of the day in the faculty, also formed part of social networks, especially Facebook and Linkedin, I check my mail, so it takes some time, listen to music and sometimes I read my favorites books, but in the class period I have not much time for this hobby. Saturday day I participate in a workshop that works to make a proposal for HIV prevention through theater and dance, is very entertaining, also you can share experiences and meet people. Some activities I like to do just  if I have more free time,  is to participate in a workshop of theater or dance, I think next semester I will enroll in one of these. Actually I do not do any physical activity to keep fit, I'm a bit lazy to exercise, is more, I lead a somewhat sedentary life. What really relaxes me is to go to the spa and make me all kinds of massage, but I have no time or money to attend frequently.

Vygotsky

This character is a theorist about the development, this was during the twentieth century.

Vygotsky was, although it is difficult to believe, only a professor of psychology, but his theory resonates to the present day. This was born on November 17, 1896 and died on June 11, 1934, reaching a live the first world war and part of the second world war.

This author is known to have a social and cultural perspective on development, his work is tremendously influenced by its political context, this is a Russian citizen and has great influence of the Soviet school.

For me, the most important postulate that does, is the notion that development influences learning, but also posits that learning tows the development, leaving it a two-way relationship, which certainly leaves out all those positivist principles about the development.

One concept that works Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, with this refers to the distance between the level of effective student development (what students can do by themselves) and the level of potential development (what a students would be able to do with the help of an adult or more capable peer).

This concept is very important because it serves to delimit the range of incidence of the educational, in that sense to me is important to mention that, as culture is a mediator of learning and the latter development is of great importance to ensure a equal access to culture, since this depends on the development of individuals.

My favorite animal!

They was my cats!













My favorite animal is the cat!, I find them really cute, I had two cats for three years, of this several years ago, but for me it was very important. These pets are my favorite, I think I identify with many of their characteristics, are playful, but can be serious and scratching, are affectionate, but also can stand alone without problems, I much like!. Unfortunately I was given increasingly severe allergies, at first tolerated him with remedies, then with stronger remedies until these were not enough, and the medical advice was give to my cats, for me it was very sad to give away. At the time that gave way to visit the family I had my cats (well, at that time and were "his" cats), I was very sad because at first they ran to me and were gradually getting used to the place, were losing the recognize my family, but was even sadder to learn that after a while, the family that had given my cats, was born a baby, who had allergies, reason that they got rid of cats, I never wanted to know if indeed they had been thrown in the street or given to someone, because the chances were that they had been abandoned. I hope my cats wherever they are, they are good. 
PS: I don't know where they come from cats, or its history. I only know characteristics because I had like a pet.
