Hola,

My emotional intelligence toolbox in the classroom continues to grow.  A strategy that I implemented to help one class, in particular, became a success with all students. Watch the video to find out how to support students when experiencing feelings of sadness or joy. ​

Abrazos,

Sound Healing

2/23/2020

Hola,

I've always loved listening to music. If I could I would have music playing 24 hours a day as a soundtrack for everyday life. But it wasn't until this past year that I started exploring the benefits of sound healing. At first, I was exposed to videos with different sound frequencies as part of Reiki treatments or meditation. I learned that the units of the sound frequency serve to treat different body ailments or spiritual purposes. Then, I was invited to a sound bath meditation. I must admit that I thought the idea of bathing in sound was a little crazy but tried it anyway. I understood the power of chimes and Tibetan bowls in our well-being. Then, I stumbled upon drums, but not just any drum. I met the primo, a high pitch drum used in Puerto Rican Bomba. In the process of learning how to dance and communicate with the drum through movement, I was also healing emotional wounds. 

Abrazos, 
Doctora Collado

The Journey is What Matters

2/21/2020

Hola,

Not all journeys involved traveling to an exotic country far away and immersing ourselves in a different community. Sometimes, adventures take place when deciding to take a chance and do something we have never done before. Today I share a video I recorded in an attempt to document a process I was not seeing clearly. The lesson I was learning was to trust the process and embrace every opportunity that came along with it. The new people, skills, experiences, and perspectives I was being introduced to were the journey, and what mattered the most.  ​

Abrazos,
Doctora Collado

Paper Pencil Tech

Hola,

My philosophy has always been to use digital technology with a purpose. Perhaps we need to get better at using gadgets in our classrooms. However, paper and pencil activities have a place in learning and can be as engaging and fun as the latest App. 

Hasta pronto, 
Doctora Collado

It Must be Brujería

Hola,

I was debating what title to give this vlog post. I was looking for something more aligned with the objective I've had so far. But the journey I'm sharing about today has been filled with so many unexplainable events that I have to conclude it was the result of magic craft. 

Today, I share how my desire to join a group of women on a VDay performance took me on an adventure of self-discovery, racial identity, and ancestral healing. I hope it helps spark conversations about how our society marginalizes educated women. 

Abrazos,
Doctora Collado
