have been expecting for many years. I wonder if 2011 will be the good one. What are we waiting? That whoever is responsible for training thousands of young minds dates back at last the slope of the digital divide and reaches them to be able to talk to them. And not just to talk about technology but about everything. technology, since in 400 BC was called Tekne, has always had a history of complicated relations with the theory (and even with practice). The digital divide is just a contemporary remake of an old problem. To return to more recent times, before the digital divide were the two cultures (the humanities and science), these two doublings, linked together, are both dangerous, because in reality an attempt to save at the expense of the other usually decrease the chances of survival of both.
This premise to say that, in an abundance of communication channels and information available, what they really miss is the ability to manage both. What I hope happens in the technological landscape of 2011 and to increase the prof. 2.0 , a highly sophisticated technology base of natural but can improve a lot the original model through an upgrade in the possibility of even minimal use of the internet, webcam, forum, software for the provision of audiovisual and educational materials, ebook and-for the more advanced models, virtual environments, serious games, augmented reality .
These tools are already plenty of built-in digital systems that accompany our daily lives, and keep them away from schools is considered an objective to be pursued at all costs to safeguard our culture. The negative side effect of this ideological stance backfires on the objective sought, would be an impoverishment of the possibility of spread of the culture and attitude of research that should permeate all but when we try to understand and communicate the 'reality'. Since knowledge goes today in large part through communication via the Web, not being able to qualify as a new form of discrimination, established by the person who hides behind the pretext of non-contamination-will-of-culture-with-the-tecnica.L 'outcome that we can see so far is that, in education, have taken possession of only those who provide technology in this sector strong development potential in terms of the market. While the majority of the institutions of training using languages \u200b\u200band tools inadequate.
who has covered education in different ways and to use technology and innovation, brought into fashion blog from time to time, slides, forums, workshops (often to look at but not touch), and more recently as a platform moodle files, podcasts, social media networks.
What could offer new or different in 2011? My prediction is that, in schools, driven by a cognitive illusion, will spread the "LIM", multimedia interactive whiteboard, computer in the shape of the board, but with the same complexity of a normal computer. My fear is that such disclosure is limited to the introduction of a new 'object' class, which could, for admission of the same creators of the LIM-turn in support of posters and post it. For this prof. 2.0 is a must!
The hope is that any instrument hardware is adopted, will spread in a practical use of intelligent Internet and videoconferencing, perhaps, but this sounds like a request to the spirit of Christmas, by an integrated hardware and software at low cost, cognitively ergonomic design that will facilitate the lives of all students and teachers in the world can address directly an expert, create networks of people with high level knowledge, mediated by teacher-mentors who are capable of moving to live in remote network and the classroom. This would allow you to share the knowledge of high-level specialists, to reduce the inevitable decay that information undergoes traveling on traditional channels for too many mediations between sender and recipient.
Unlike other asynchronous tools such as pre-packed multimedia materials, videoconferencing contact safeguards and synchronizes the timing of production and listening, facilitating the understanding. Unlike other interactive tools, such as those who use mainly of writing, allows the transmission of content dense, full of expressive power of spoken communication . Increases language skills, reducing the distances that prevent approach to learning communities belonging to different peoples and different cultures .
will be the experience of working and living experience in an island, in 2011 All schools should start the project in Sardinia School digital, but I hope that a proper use and investment in technology can lead to reduced distances between center and periphery, in a school of excellence for all concerned.
Elisabetta Gola is chairman of the degree course in Communication Sciences, provided online by the University of Cagliari, where he teaches theory of language and communication. His research interests focus on artificial intelligence applied to language, with a preference for using non-literal, and more recently his reflections I came to consider the impact technology in learning.
