Summary
En este episodio de de Querido Emprendedor! tenemos una conversación profunda y conmovedora con José Cartagena Ortiz, educador puertorriqueño y experto en diseño instruccional. José comparte su trayectoria desde su infancia en Puerto Rico, hasta su proceso de adaptación en Estados Unidos, enfrentando choques culturales, retos personales y profesionales.
Hablamos sobre la importancia de poner al ser humano en el centro del aprendizaje, el valor del proceso por encima del resultado, y cómo la inteligencia artificial puede complementar —pero no reemplazar— la reflexión crítica y la empatía. José también reflexiona sobre la experiencia de ser latino, bilingüe y emprendedor en un país con estereotipos marcados, y cómo el networking, la resiliencia y el compromiso social han sido claves en su crecimiento.
Una entrevista inspiradora sobre cómo transformar el fracaso en aprendizaje, y cómo desde la educación se puede contribuir a “reparar el mundo”.
