"La publicación de un informe PISA de la OCDE acerca de cómo repercute el uso escolar de los ordenadores en las notas de los alumnos desencadenó ayer una oleada de titulares absurdos, irresponsables, cogidos por los pelos y peligrosísimos de cara al futuro, en los que con toda ligereza se acusaba a la introducción de la tecnología de "no servir para nada", o incluso de poco menos que "ser perjudicial para el aprendizaje". Una lectura mínimamente rigurosa del estudio permite ver que en realidad, se trata de una interpretación absurda. Lo que el informe viene a demostrar es que en las circunstancias actuales, con una introducción de tecnología que se ha limitado a cambiar las herramientas sin variar la metodología, y que se aún encuentra en una fase de pruebas absolutamente temprana, los resultados no son milagrosos, sino simplemente lógicos: si quitamos a los alumnos el papel y el bolígrafo y les ponemos un tablet o un dispositivo similar en las manos… ¡sorpresa! ¡Se distraen más! Lo raro, por supuesto, sería que esto no ocurriese así. Resulta no evidente, sino de perogrullo, que un artefacto electrónico conectado a la red ofrece infinitas oportunidades más para la distracción que las que ofrece un papel y el bolígrafo en el que, como mucho, podemos dibujar unos cuantos muñecos con palotes, hacer algunas cadenetas, o ya acercándonos casi a los deportes de riesgo, hacer una pajarita. Frente a esto, la versatilidad de los terminales móviles o los ordenadores es impresionante: podemos comunicarnos, acceder a un ilimitado océano de contenidos buenos, malos o regulares, ver vídeos de gatitos, o incluso jugar. Obviamente, si lo único que hacemos es cambiar de soporte, pero no alterar la metodología, ni formar a los profesores, ni modificar siquiera la manera de evaluar, lo único que haremos con la tecnología es crear una generación de alumnos que se habrán pasado una parte significativa del tiempo de clase dedicándose a otras cos

"It has me thinking about what it would mean to improve online classes. A few ideas come to mind: Use multiple platforms. I'm not against using an LMS as a central hub. However, I think it's valuable to experiment with the types of productivity tools you will actually use outside of a classroom. Use Google Docs to share ideas, create surveys, and ask questions. Use Google Hangouts to meet as a group. Go project-based. I haven't figured this out entirely with my first class but my hope is that we can go fully project-based in the same way that my face-to-face class is. In fact, the asynchronous nature of online classes actually means there is a better potential of creating a project-based culture that mirrors the way people actually work on projects. Make something together. I use a collaboration grid with co-creating and communicating on separate spectrums (x-axis) and multimedia and text on another spectrum (y-axis). This has been an effective way to think through collaborative tools that allow students to co-create. Embrace a synchronous/asynchronous blend: I love using Voxer because students can speak back and forth in the moment. However, if they miss it, they can listen to it later. The same is true of using a Google Hangouts On Air. Make it more connective. We tend to treat online instruction as if it is a linear process and we don't do enough to link things back and forth and connect ideas, resources, discussions and content creation in a seamless, back-and-forth nature. Incorporate multimedia. It's a simple idea, but I create a short video at the beginning of each week and I encourage students to create video and audio as well. This has a way of making things more concrete. There's something deeply human about hearing an actual human voice. I know, crazy, right? Go mobile. I don't simply mean use a smart phone. I mean assign some things that allow students to get out in the world and create videos, snap pictures,

"This book YOUNG & CREATIVE - Digital Technologies Empowering Children in Everyday Life aims to catch different examples where children and youth have been active and creative by their own initiative, driven by intrinsic motivation, personal interests and peer relations. We want to show the opportunities of digital technologies for creative processes of children and young people. The access to digital technology and its growing convergence has allowed young people to experiment active roles as cultural producers. Participation becomes a keyword when "consumers take media into their own hands". Digital technologies offer the potential of different forms of participatory media culture, and finally creative practices. YOUNG and CREATIVE is a mix of research articles, interviews and case studies. The target audience of this book is students, professionals and researchers working in the field of education, communication, children and youth studies, new literacy studies and media and information literacy."

Primitive technology is a hobby where you make things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. This is the strict rule. If you want a fire- use fire sticks, an axe- pick up a stone and shape it, a hut- build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without modern technology. If this hobby interests you then this blog might be what you are looking for. Also It should be noted that I don't live in the wild but just practice this as a hobby. I live in a modern house and eat modern food. I just like to see how people in ancient times built and made things. It is a good hobby that keeps you fit and doesn't cost anything apart from time and effort.

The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover will search for signs of ancient microbial life, which will advance NASA's quest to explore the past habitability of Mars. The rover has a drill to collect core samples of Martian rock and soil, then store them in sealed tubes for pickup by a future mission that would ferry them back to Earth for detailed analysis. Perseverance will also test technologies to help pave the way for future human exploration of Mars. Strapped to the rover's belly for the journey to Mars is a technology demonstration - the Mars Helicopter, Ingenuity, may achieve a "Wright Brothers moment " by testing the first powered flight on the Red Planet. Searching for Ancient Life, Gathering Rocks and Soil There are several ways that the mission helps pave the way for future human expeditions to Mars and demonstrates technologies that may be used in those endeavors. These include testing a method for producing oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, identifying other resources (such as subsurface water), improving landing techniques, and characterizing weather, dust, and other potential environmental conditions that could affect future astronauts living and working on Mars.

"I spent much of 2014 on the road, traveling and speaking extensively about education technology's histories, ideologies, and mythologies. The Monsters of Education Technology is a collection of fourteen of those talks on topics ranging from teaching machines to convivial tools, from ed-tech mansplaining to information justice."

"Formación del Profesorado, Tecnología Educativa e Identidad Docente Digital / Digital Teacher Education, Educational Technology and Teacher Digital Identity José Miguel Correa Gorospe, Lorea Fernández Olaskoaga, Aingeru Gutiérrez-Cabello Barragán, Daniel Losada Iglesias, Begoña Ochoa-Aizpurua Aguirre Resumen La perspectiva de la identidad docente digital es una oportunidad para repensar la influencia de la postmodernidad sobre la Escuela, el curriculum y los docentes. Basándonos en Bauman, Wenger o Gergen hemos definido la identidad digital docente, como un proceso dinámico y permanente que implica dotar de sentido y reinterpretar las propias creencias, valores y experiencias docentes a la luz de los nuevos contextos y marcos de relaciones en la sociedad contemporánea caracterizada por la digitalización de la experiencia humana. En este artículos hemos relacionado la identidad digital docente con los cambios acaecidos en la sociedad contemporánea, las concepciones del conocimiento, la escuela o la autoridad curricular. Reivindicamos un enfoque de la tecnología educativa crítica basada en la emancipación y convivencialidad, que incorpore la reflexión sobre cómo nos configuramos a partir de las experiencias digitales y de la cultura visual. Terminamos este artículo reinvindicando la pedagogía narrativa como estrategia de biografización de la experiencia digital docente."

The reports are collaboratively authored by researchers in the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University, UK, together with different external partners every year. The 2020 report, the eighth in the series, has been written as a collaboration between researchers at the Institute of Educational Technology, The Open University, UK, and the National Institute for Digital Learning (NIDL), Dublin City University, Ireland.

"El debate sobre el impacto de la robótica y la inteligencia artificial en nuestro futuro laboral es cada vez más frecuente, y casos como el que se ha producido en una factoría de la empresa china Changying Precision Technology Company deja claras las potenciales ventajas de esa automatización. Los robots llevan muchos años reemplazando a trabajadores humanos en las cadenas de montaje, y en esta fábrica decidieron dar ese paso también: de los 650 empleados que tenía esa fábrica se ha pasado a solo 60, con el resto de labores realizadas por robots. El resultado ha sido aparentemente espectacular, con un aumento del 250% en la producción. ..."

"Is the form that you receive a message as significant as the message itself? Marshall McLuhan argued that throughout history what has been communicated has been less important than the particular medium through which people communicate. The technology that transfers the message changes us and changes society, the individual, the family, work, leisure and more. Narrated by Gillian Anderson. Scripted by Nigel Warburton. From the BBC Radio 4 series about life's big questions - A History of Ideas. This project is from the BBC in partnership with The Open University, the animations were created by Cognitive."
