Las múltiples funciones que se atribuyen tradicionalmente a la educación y a la formación, combinadas con el énfasis que dan nuestras sociedades modernas a los cambios constantes (políticos, económicos ambientales, tecnológicos, sociales) exigen inevitablemente que el aprendizaje se convierta en una función permanente.
Technology is ubiquitous, touching almost every part of our lives, our communities, our homes. Yet most schools lag far behind when it comes to integrating technology into classroom learning. Many are just beginning to explore the true potential tech offers for teaching and learning.
Integrating technology into a high school classroom isn't a one-step process. "You can't just slap a netbook [computer] on top of a textbook and say, 'Great, now we have technology," says Bob Wise, former governor of West Virginia and president of the Alliance for Excellent Education, an advocacy organization.
A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n When students are using technology as a tool or a support for communicating with others, they are in an active role rather than the passive role of recipient of information transmitted by a teacher, textbook, or broadcast.
