A NEW CLASSROOM PERSPECTIVE

A NEW CLASSROOM PERSPECTIVE.

The use of technology in education has been an important key to the development of distance education and the creation of educational technologies for everyday use in the classroom. The implementation of new technologies being developed in parallel with changes in teaching methods and even the way of thinking about learning and teaching, which increasingly are the students themselves who takes control of the process and materials, and resources meet their requirements and possibilities.

For a long time, the incorporation of resources in education’s main objective was to support the teacher in his task, which was progressively having more media, while the student had only his textbook and teacher conferences as support. To some extent, the technological resources are strong support for change by providing individualized instruction of interactive learning, distance learning and new teaching methodologies and supported by computer, which brings real transformation in the teaching process learning by giving students the title role.

When to the term technology is added the “training” qualifier, it’s about all the technical sources that support the training content and are always based on objectives to be achieved and the characteristics of students which they are intended. New technologies produce a new training model, characterized by the passage of one-way communication to a more open model that allows interaction, diversified media information and self-learning.

The computers in education can be understood as an instrument, a tool to work better or at least differently teaching contents. Use for educational purposes is commonly given to the computer; it has been for the development of tutorials, simulations, multimedia programs, and access information banks globally. For Example: one-way activities, although they are supervised, applied or suggested by the consultants, you develop the skills that are best for finding information and may also be limited to the following instructions.

To achieve learning interaction is necessary enabling this confrontation and socialization of knowledge, exchange of ideas, questioning and clarifying doubts that enrich the learning and supporting such learning. Taking the interaction and action to socialize and share ideas with other views, knowledge and attitudes concerning an object of study, and assuming that this only happens between people because it involves a reciprocal influence, we can say that learning will be to support and will use technology as a means to achieve the interaction, however, are more important peers and advisors the most sophisticated computer programs.

Starting and accepting that education is primarily a relationship between people and above all a social fact, advances must occur in this relationship. Educational innovations should consist of the renovation of the learning environments in which an item will be the advances in technology but not the only nor the most important.
