Ana, partner teacher at AI goes to School. Has been a Computer Science teacher for 20 years. Education wasn’t her background, but while she was waiting for a job, as a result of her degree in computer science management, she began her teaching and the passion was immediate, inspired by the memories of the very committed teachers who always made her feel happy at school. She has invested in training, has two graduation degrees one in Computer Science and another in Education and a Masters in Education Technologies. Her areas of interest are computer science, robotics, and differentiated emerging technologies. Sharing among peers has always been very important to continue to enjoy being at school and learning so that I can continue to teach.
