terminar el secundario. Madre <strong>de</strong> dos chicos <strong>de</strong> 7 y 5años, tiene una PC en su casa en Potrero <strong>de</strong> los Funesque se conecta por Wi-Fi a la Red. “Me llevo la informacióny lo que no entiendo se lo pregunto por chata ella”, dice mientras señala a la docente. Esta jovenmadre y miembro <strong>de</strong> re<strong>de</strong>s como Facebook, Sónicoy Twitter, se <strong>de</strong>dicará a estudiar enfermería una vezque se reciba.A Solange (15) y Silvina Morales (19) las une no sóloel parentesco <strong>de</strong> hermanas sino la misma vocación:quieren ser policías cuando terminen el secundarioque ahora completan en el CID <strong>de</strong> Potrero <strong>de</strong> los Funes.Sin computadora en la casa don<strong>de</strong> viven junto asu madre, consi<strong>de</strong>ran que la escuela digital para adultoses “una buena oportunidad para apren<strong>de</strong>r con lascomputadoras”. Y se quejan, porque “vienen los máschicos al CID, rompen las netbooks, y nos <strong>de</strong>jan sincomputadoras”. Sin embargo, Solange rescata la actitud<strong>de</strong> la mentora: “Aquí nos dan mucho tiempo, todostenemos oportunida<strong>de</strong>s para pedir ayuda y nosapoya para estudiar”.El entusiasmo manifestado por los alumnos <strong>de</strong> esteCID tiene una responsable. Y es la docente a cargo.Liliana Coria no se limita a las lecciones que surgen<strong>de</strong>l Aula 1 a 1, el Aula 365 ni a las que pue<strong>de</strong>n apren<strong>de</strong>rseen otros sitios pedagógicos. Impulsa a sus estudiantes,cualquiera sea la edad, a que comprendan lasactivida<strong>de</strong>s económicas que se realizan en su lugar<strong>de</strong> resi<strong>de</strong>ncia y cuáles son las que faltan para suplirciertas necesida<strong>de</strong>s que se advierten.Liliana es muy proactiva. Establece a través <strong>de</strong> unblog <strong>de</strong>l CID horarios <strong>de</strong> chat con los alumnos para<strong>de</strong>spejar dudas, se ofrece para imprimir apuntes paraun estudiante <strong>de</strong>… 70 años, acompaña a otro <strong>de</strong>…65 años a un local <strong>de</strong>l centro <strong>de</strong> San Luis para comprarsu primera computadora, y escanea libros distribuidospor el Gobierno nacional y los sube al blog enformato pdf.| 59En este CID se pue<strong>de</strong>n tomar cursos adicionales, fuera<strong>de</strong> la currícula escolar, y también se aclaran dudasque se relacionan con la vida cotidiana, más allá <strong>de</strong>cualquier programa. “Orientamos a los alumnos sohighschool to have a career after that. When you apply for a job, ifyou don’t have a high school <strong>de</strong>gree, they don’t even consi<strong>de</strong>r you forthe position. And I want to study because I want to be someone”, sheaffirms. She does not know for sure yet what she wants to study, butshe knows it has to be related to humanities.As many other classmates here at the Center, Jessica learnt how to usethe computer at the cyber café. And the computer is such a familiar toolthat now, that she has come back to study, it is much easier to learn.Sidanela Miranda (24) wants to make up time which was taken awayfrom an early maternity which prevented her from finishing highschool. She is the mother of two children, of 7 and 5 years of age; shehas a computer at home, in Potrero <strong>de</strong> los Funes, and she connectswith wi-fi connection to the Internet. “I take information home, and ifI don’t un<strong>de</strong>rstand anything, I ask her (and points at the teacher) viachat”, she says. This young mother, and member of social networkslike Facebook, Sonico and Twitter, will study nursing once she graduatesfrom high school.Solange (15) and Silvinia Morales (19) are not connected by their familyrelationship as sisters but they also share the same vocation: theyboth want to become police officers when they finish high school atthe Center here in Potrero <strong>de</strong> los Funes. They do not have a computerat home, where they live with their mother, but they consi<strong>de</strong>r the digitalschool for adults “a good opportunity to learn with computers”.And they complain because “small kids come to the Center, they breakthe netbooks and we are left with no computers”. However, Solangeshe highlights the mentor’s attitu<strong>de</strong>: “We get a lot of time here, we allhave the chance to ask for help and they support us to study”.The enthusiasm shown by stu<strong>de</strong>nts in this Center has one cause. Thatcause is the teacher in charge. Liliana Coria does not limit herself tolessons in the 1 to 1 Classroom, Classroom 365 or the things you maylearn in other pedagogical sites. She encourages stu<strong>de</strong>nts, whatevertheir age is, to un<strong>de</strong>rstand the economic activities carried out in the
