The field of education covers the age from 84 days old to 8 years old. A pre-school teachers and primary teacher instructs children in activities that promote physical, social, psychological, intellectual, language, motor skills development. Work in an educational center or a community. Also teaches music, art, literature, natural and social sciences. He cares about hygiene, encouraging collaborative work and care for themselves, understanding the natural and social environment.
Always encourages its students in the learning process, all done in a climate of mutual respect between student and teacher.
Prepares course objectives, activities and assessments. It also performs work in partnership with parents.
Promotes development that is integral.
To develop all these aspects can use technology, and is present in all areas.
The educational possibilities of the technologies should be considered in two aspects: their knowledge and usage.
The first is a direct result of culture. You can not understand today's world without a modicum of computer literacy. You have to understand how it is generated, how it is stored, how it changes, how it spreads and how to access information in its many forms (text, images, sounds). We must try to participate in creating that culture. This, which has two facets: Integrating this new culture in education, gazing at all levels of education and that knowledge will lead to a widespread use of technologies to deliver training throughout life.
The second aspect, although related to the first, is more technical. It must use technology to learn and to teach. The learning of any subject or skill can be facilitated by technology and in particular the Internet, using appropriate techniques.
It is not easy to practice teaching technologies that solve all the problems that arise, but try to develop educational systems that relate the various aspects of computer and information transmission, while being as constructive methodologically.
Getting to do that job well is very difficult. Requires a great effort of each teacher and a major work of planning and coordinating the team of teachers.
Teachers have to prepare appropriate materials for students. We have the opportunity and duty to fill that need. It's about creating an education so that theory, abstraction, design and experimentation are integrated.
It is essential to introduce the technologies in schools, awareness and induction of teachers in technology, especially when they are thinking of areas (such as curriculum content and teaching tool.)
Then, the programs for the training of teachers in the educational use of New Technologies of Information and Communication should be proposed as objectives:
- Contribute to the updating of the educational system (because society demands it.)
- Provide teachers with the acquisition of theoretical and operational skills to enable them to integrate in their teaching, educational media in general and those based on new technologies in particular.
- Acquire an overview of integrating new technologies into the curriculum, analyzing the changes suffered by its different elements: content, methodology, evaluation, etc.
- Train teachers to reflect on their own practice, assessing the role and contribution of all means to the teaching-learning process.
Finally, seek help or opportunities for improvement in education to explore the educational possibilities of the technology on all environments and circumstances that present reality.
