-¡TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION!


Every time the technology is used in more places, now practically we have in all the places, that one of they are in the schools, in the education.

The people warn of the possible harmful effects of using technology in the classroom of the school. Will children lose their ability to relate to other human beings? Will they become dependent on technology to learn? Will they find inappropriate materials? The same was probably said with the invention of the printing press, radio, and television. All of this can be used inappropriately, but all of this have given humanity unbounded access to information which can be turned into knowledge. Appropriately used.. interactively and with guidance.. they have become tools for the development of higher order thinking skills.

Inappropriately used in the classroom, technology can be used to perpetuate old models of teaching and learning. Students can be "plugged into computers" to do drill and practice that is not so different from workbooks. Teachers can use multimedia technology to give more colorful, stimulating lectures.

The technology and education, is the new teachings of the future, applying the criteris of now education , the benefits of the future.
