I consider the passage through the various schools, where I taught, as very fruitful.
I had the opportunity to interact with school boards, fellow teachers, staff, students (teenagers and adult), and at the end with their parents.
I became related with all these people, helping them to demystify the computer as a tool to work with. In return, they helped me to understand their needs, find ways to motivate them and make them understand what I had taught, in a simple, intuitive...
In summary: I resolved some computers problems; I motivated the students; I taught them to work with the computer and various applications; I managed different workgroups in a classroom [ I resolved conflicts within and between groups; I helped them to solve problems with the work (always motivating them to be the students to resolve their own situations)].

Professional History
How has been so far?
Motivation, awareness, thinking and lifestyle.
Later at school, I had the opportunity to choose Electrotechnics, in 9th grade.
I Completed the course with the better average of the class. The moment of take other decision has arrived right after the end of the course. The question was: Should I start to work or continue studies? At that moment the second hypothesis was the one that made more sense to me, so I enrolled myself in the university (2).
After the internship, I stayed in the institution working as a Senior Technician of Informatics. There I performed tasks related with the Web, like programming and design. I performed also other tasks like support the functions of the institution, support of projects, events, design and formation.
In 2001 I tried other "worlds" (2)(3). I left the institute and tried a Freelancer job. In the end I performed the same activity that I had already done, designer and web programming plus a third new experience as a web consultant.
In 2004, the Ministry of Education opens vacancies for teachers of Informatics, Group 550. Seeing here a different perspective of work, I applied for... and started my 7 years of teaching (3)(4)(5). It was very interesting this activity, the scope of subjects taught (4), the personal interactions (teachers, staff and students) (5) and the knowledge acquired (4).
In 2016 / 2017 I did profictional training at the "Centro de Reabilitação Profissional de Gaia" - CRPG. Location where I acquired multimedia knowledge in the course of "Graphic Design Technician". (See website.)
The course followed a professional internship, of a month and a half, in the company MULTITEMA - SOLUÇÕES DE IMPRESSÃO, SA.
I hope to add something relevant to the entity who will Hire me, something that I can have the honour to add to my CV.
I started working very young. I helped my father in the summer holidays, in his job, selling gas propane and butane. Initially i do not take the bottles, they were very heavy at the time, but I walked with the briefcase of the money to receive it from the sales (1). This since the age of 11.
At the end of the 9th grade I wanted to learn more, therefore I decided to take an Accounting Technical Professional course (1) that offered me the opportunity to start a career (Accounting Technician) or following studies (University).
In the academic years 2003 and 2004, I enrolled myself in a Postgraduation of "Information Systems" at the "Universidade do Minho (UM)". In the end of Postgraduation, where I had obtained the required classification to continue studies and joining the Masters course, I started a new employment. With that in mind and not wanting to wiggle with the new job, I pondered and dropped the idea of continuing studies. I did it after having started studies in the area wherein I should finish the masters degree: "Organizational Identity" (Area that I had worshiped). With the "errors", we learn.
After this wonderful experience in the EFACEC enterprise, I had the opportunity to join the body of development of a platform targeted to an Institute of Education, the ISCAP (Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto (pt) - Higher Institute of Accounting and Administration of Porto, en), belonging to the IPP (Instituto Politécnico do Porto (pt) - Polytechnic Institute of Porto (en)). Here it was used a new programming language (JAVA) (I had already used it, but just in academic issues), and a new way of developing for the Internet using JSP in a Appache server (at that time) (2) (3).
(1) Responsibility
Work with money. Bills that can't go wrong without... serious consequences.
In higher education, in the Instituto Superior da Maia (ISMAI), I involved myself in other activities, such as creation and edition of the first journal of the Institution (1)(2)(3) and, later, in the achievement of a internship in the own Institution (1)(2)(3). We were in the beginning of the emergence of the Internet in Portugal and the Institution wanted to become visible in it (Internet), this was the objective of my period of the internship.
With little work to do, in 2002, I performed a professional internship (2)(3) in the EFACEC enterprise. What should be a internship of a year, it had become in one of 2 years. There, I worked with programming languages that hadn't used before, I did documentation of programs that had already been made or were being made in the moment. I worked with different Databases Systems (Ingres, Oracle) and with alternative Operation Systems (Linux and Unix) (2).
I like to learn, to be updated and always at the forefront.

(3) Innovate / Try
I like to innovate, to experiment, to invent new things. Deep down I promote a free spirit and believe that experimenting is the only way to better appreciate and understand the world around us.
As a teacher, I have taught subjects from Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), to several academic years, Data Base Management (DBM), Installation, Configuration and Operation in Local Networks and the Internet, among other ...
The great diversity and complexity of the issues had captivated me on his study, keeping me well updated.
