| Teachers must take a leap of faith to technology |
Children not born with a loaf under his arm, that is past. Now children are born with a smartphone in one hand and a tablet in the other, if not also wear a wrist SmartWatch and some of their passions are learning to program applications, video games and even robots.
That is why education is now inconceivable without technology. "It's the end of the lectures, were invented in the eighteenth century and it is time to upgrade or die," said Mark Garasa El Mundo that after 12 years working in teaching has become the pedagogical director InnovaSchool a company dedicated along with WeLearning, to facilitate technology transition to school.
This year InnovaSchool has been involved in the transformation of 17 public schools in a national project in collaboration with Samsung and the Ministry of Education, in which they have integrated electronic devices in classrooms, especially tablets, but have also worked with 21 private schools born within the group and some private schools, in addition to the Francisco de Vitoria University. Thus, they demonstrate a need for evolution in schools, because "the cognitive process of students is more active" and therefore needs another type of education.
"Lectures will not forgive the error and kill creativity," says Garasa, which encourages all teachers to take "a leap of faith" to technology as "active classes promote emotional intelligence of students, improving pro activity and assertiveness. " The idea is that, since the technology is born to make our lives easier, also do it in the classroom, and that technological evolution has left us a very easy to use software. Thus, students can consult the agenda at home and invest the time in class more productive work that will accelerate their learning. Classroom is the Flip method (class vice versa).
"If the teacher dominates the technology may invest all the time I used to read the textbook in class more useful things for the student, as answer questions or create exercises and group work," explains Garasa. It is moving from a passive to an active student students. "When the teacher understands the potential of the technology level of their classes is triggered because it has time to work with the kids. It becomes a guide and let students take control of their learning, leading to surprise many teachers"
