I was born in São Leopoldo, in the southernmost state of
Brazil. I am married to my junior high sweetheart and I
have three daughters and a son and eight grandchildren.
The turning points of my academic life were my meeting
with one of the greatest Brazilian poets, Manuel Bandeira,
and my graduate courses at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.
Actually, I was the fi rst student of Prof. Novak and Prof.
Gowin to apply concept mapping to language and literature, in those early years
of concept maps. I taught language and literature in high school and at college
level for three decades, always aiming at offering students time and space for
autonomy, creativity, and learning how to learn. An unforgettable experience
was living in Pensacola, Fl this year, as an invited researcher to work with Prof.
Alberto Cañas, at the Institute of Human and Machine Cognition. Ithaca (NY.)
and Pensacola (Fl.) are forever in my heart. Now, I am engaged in writing a
novel and a book of poems.view less
