SECOND DRAFT OF MY PERSONAL WRITTING

TIC'S IN THE CLASSROOM

A new kind of student it’s been shaped  in daily activities, since they wake up to each morning, technology is building new logical references, new ways of thinking and developing knowledge to learners, a global net-world, a mass multi-media stimulus is continuing throwing any kind of information to people, this interrelated activity, so fast, so massive,  is dulling people cognition, as well as creating new kind of phenomenon at classrooms, learners attention is being diminish and classrooms development is going through an obstacles’  marathon. As the ministry of education through its journal (al tablero) says “The use of technology in classrooms doesn’t guarantee the qualification in the learning and teaching processes, it’s needed to improve these technological sources with theories, models and pedagogical strategies” to give a contextualized usages to these technological tools.
But technology and its devices is not only a mere core of difficulties, it is also an open wide multidimensional field of possibilities, like the (Al Tablero) article (the meaning of using technology in the classroom) states  “The use of technology in the classroom allows students to participate actively and dynamically trough meaningful and functional activities associated with the real world and the multiple dimensions related with the teachers’ subject” the global net swiftness to access to the global library, in which there is not only written materials but also any kind of media resources to enrich the learning experience, the article about the use of technology in the classrooms  affirms that “Some studies state that multi-media help speeds and increase learning in an 80%, they also promote team work through the chat and e-mail, and teachers also could qualify their academic contents, diversifying class subjects and making dynamic class activities”  it is an opportunity to teachers to build functional contexts of learning; the dialogical relation teacher-learner it’s being mediated by a potential instrument which could be turned into a helpful tool.
Teachers as negotiator, in this epistemological relation, must enhance the educative possibilities of TICS, the before mentioned article says “Teachers most recognize the TIC’s risk and potentials when they are used in the classroom, in order to promote contexts in which the technological tools won’t become into individualization objects but creates the collective building of knowledge which is one of its immanent natures”  a careful study about the different academic applications of technologies is now giving to teachers as well as students new perspectives of how technology is turning classrooms into real contexts of learning.
