Desde una óptica educativa, tomando la Red como recurso de información para la educación, el artículo analiza qué suponen las nuevas habilidades informativas, en lo que respecta a los conceptos de alfabetización y competencia informacional. Esta breve descripción y recapitulación de habilidades nos lleva a preguntarnos, en la práctica, por cómo los estudiantes realizan los procesos de búsqueda y selección de información en línea. Traemos a debate las principales conclusiones abstraídas de los resultados de algunas de las investigaciones más relevantes de las autoras, que dan respuesta a los interrogantes planteados en torno a las habilidades necesarias para acceder y manejar eficazmente la información digital. Finalmente, y puesto que los nuevos modos para localizar y operar con la información precisan reorganizaciones tanto de los modelos tradicionales de enseñanza y aprendizaje, como de los roles y funciones de los diversos agentes educativos, entendemos que la preparación de los alumnos para responder a las distintas demandas informacionales requiere de los docentes un rol de mediador, de facilitador del proceso, exponiendo una propuesta concreta de estrategias de enseñanza de búsqueda y selección de información en la Red.

Los blogs, las wikis, los podcast, las comunidades virtuales, y las miles de aplicaciones que ofrece la red, favorecen el intercambio de información, de conocimiento, de cultura, y en conjunto, estimulan la capacidad creadora del individuo. Nuevas formas de trabajar en equipo, distintas y diversas comunidades de aprendizaje en línea, redes de aprendizaje basadas en el principio de reciprocidad, en donde se aprenda compartiendo, donde el aprendizaje se da a partir de compartir lo que uno sabe con el mundo.

no basta con el acceso, son necesarias aplicaciones orientadas hacia la inclusión social.

Las dos respuestas oficiales han carecido de eficacia

Many schools are rethinking the LMS, not just because these tools have cost them a pretty penny, but because they're looking for ways that can further student collaboration and that can emphasize content and learning and not just administration. That could put Pearson in a good position to be a go-to tool for schools, particularly if the focus becomes content, something Pearson does hold market control over. As the Delta Initiative's Phil Hill told Inside Higher Ed, Pearson "wants to change the perception of an LMS to [make colleges] say: �Hey, that's a commodity, that's a delivery system � and really education, and the education system, needs to be about the content itself and how students interact with that content.'"

drian Sannier, senior vice president of product at Pearson, told Inside Higher Ed that the new OpenClass can be used absolutely for free. No licensing costs, no costs for maintenance, and no costs for hosting. So this is a freer offer than Moodle is. It's a freer offer than any other in the space. And from the email I received from the PR firm handling the announcement, I give you these gems: "Pearson Launches First Truly Free and Open Learning Platform for Higher Ed." The tool "Provides Open Access." And this is where we need to stop and scrutinize what's happening here and look past the invocations of "free" and "open." Why would Pearson offer a free LMS? For one thing, Pearson doesn't need to sell OpenClass. Its emphasis -- indeed, its strategy -- lies elsewhere. Pearson is the largest education company in the world -- with or without success in the LMS market -- with profits of �208 million for the first half of this year alone. Its educational sales are up 9%; it's educational profits are up 31%. Much those sales and profits come from educational content: textbooks -- both print and digital -- as well as other curriculum offerings. (Much of the profits come from assessment products and services too -- Pearson sells the textbooks and the standardized tests. That's pretty damn lucrative, clearly.) Pearson can give away OpenClass in the hopes that schools will go for the "up-sell" and buy the company's other offerings.

For its part, Pearson says that it's not going to lock users in to using just its content. But I can't help but wonder if that's true. After all, I think we need to question its usage of adjectives like "free" and "open" here. Furthermore when a company touts Google's involvement when really, what we have here is just a fairly simple and straight-forward integration with Google Apps, we should be a little suspicious about the labeling and the marketing and our consumption habits.

as habilidades y conocimientos avanzados describen las principales áreas que el indivuduo debería aprender a aplicar en entornos digitales, en gran medida en entornos en red, y se muestran agrupadas por áreas: Comunicación y Colaboración, Gestión de la Información, Aprendizaje y Resolución de Problemas y, finalmente, Participación Significativa

Hay una segunda forma de organizar dichas habilidades y conocimientos, gráficamente por columnas, en tres grandes áreas que representan diferentes grados de aplicación: ‘Media Application’

‘Strategic’,

The role of a Personal Learning Environment may be not only that of a tool to provide access to ‘More Knowledgeable Others’ but as part of a system to allow learners to link learning to performance in practice, though work processes. And taking a wider view of artefacts as including information or knowledge accessed through a PLE, reflection on action or performance may in turn generate new artefacts for others to use within a ZPD

I believe that it is likely that we see a decreasing need of instructors as more knowledgeable others in order to learn something, but an increasing need of instructors as more knowledgeable others in order to learn how to learn something

Consideramos, como&nbsp;aparece citado en algunas intervenciones, que un autor clave puede ser Paulo Freire. La recuperación de sus “pedagogías”(de la pregunta, de la autonomía, de la esperanza, de la indignación, de la tolerancia por citar algunas de ellas)&nbsp;permitiría posicionar de otro modo a los docentes y escuelas ante la realidad creciente de la “sociedad red”.

las escuelas como mediadoras entre el adentro y el afuera

los docentes, que deben convertirse en sujetos en tránsito al mundo digital,&nbsp;como promotores del diálogo y el trabajo colaborativo mediado por las tic en el aula; como puentes efectivos entre el pasado y el futuro; como integradores y sintetizadores de las prácticas de oralidad, escritura y virtualidad que pasan a darse de manera "simultánea, entrecruzada y superpuesta" en el aula; en la promoción del diálogo intergeneracional; en el ingreso de acontecimientos de la vida contemporánea problematizados en la clase
