Reflection (week 6) - Embedding Media & Psychological Foundations (I)

This time, the idea is to illustrate how to pursue the integration of visual and interactive images and media into classroom. We have many ideas of how to improve the learning experience so, it's time to work!

Keeping the storytelling in mind, here I show you some pictures of my beautiful Dominican Republic!

1. Segafredo Ristorante, Zona Colonial, Sto Dgo, DR. 

This is one of my favorite places to visit back home, because it's at the beginning of the colonial zone of the city. It's very stylish and suitable to share a bottle of wine with some friends. 

2. Altos de Chavon, La Romana, DR.

The biggest attraction in La Romana, Dominican Republic, is Altos de Chavón, a re-creation of a medieval European village conceived from the imagination of Roberto Copa, a former Paramount Pictures set designer, and Charles Bluhdorn. The landscapes, the view of Chavon river and whole village is exquisite. 

3. Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration, Santiago, DR. 

On a hill overlooking Santiago is a high marble monument. Construction of the monument began in 1944 on the orders of then-dictator Rafael Trujillo. He named it the "Trujillo's Monument to Peace", and was designed by architect Henry Gazón Bona. Trujillo was assassinated in 1961, after which the monument was renamed the "Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration", in remembrance of the Independence Restoration War of 1863, in which the Dominican Republic regained its independence from Spain.

These are just a brief examples of how rich my country is and also, how many places still there waiting to be discovered!
