LA CONVERGENCIA DIGITAL Y LA EDUCACIÓN
INTRODUCCIÓN
En el presente ensayo se abordara el tema de la convergencia digital y la educación, se hablara de los grandes cambios que ha traído consigo en el ámbito educativo y las innovadoras aportaciones a este, para así adaptarse a los fines educativos y tecnológicos.
Trata los principales factores que han modificado a la sociedad de la educación en la vida cotidiana, las innovaciones e integraciones de la tecnología de la información en el aula educativa y en el entorno social, así como los avances que la tecnología ha traído consigo en la forma de enseñar y de aprender de cada uno de los individuos. Hablar de las tecnologías y el modo de enseñar con esta nueva era digital es ver como se está transformando la sociedad. El integrarlas es una opción diferente de que los alumnos aprenderán con estrategias más didácticas, amenas y flexibles.
DESARROLLO
Nuestra sociedad basa su historia digital desde tiempos post-industriales en donde se definía como una transformación económica que pasa de ser basada en la producción a ser una economía basada en servicios”-Daniel Bell y Alan Tourance.
Sucesivamente para los años 70’s la sociedad es llamada de la información haciendo mayor énfasis en el poder transformador de las computadoras y las nuevas tecnologías. Uno de los principales autores de esta teoría Fritz Malchup hace mención de 5 grandes grupos industriales de la información en los cuales son conformados por la educación, los medios y comunicación, computadoras, los servicios fundados en actividades de información son los grupos mencionados por el autor en los cuales se hace énfasis en la industria de la información.

Conclusión
Se concluye con este ensayo que nosotros como la nueva sociedad de las tecnologías somos los que utilizamos con mayor frecuencia estas, y siempre estamos a la vanguardia de las convergencias digitales que suceden al paso del tiempo y nos acostumbramos a ellas además de acoplarlos siempre.
La convergencia digital se involucra en su totalidad a la educación porque nosotros mismos exigimos a las instituciones que se encuentren actualizados a las nuevas tecnologías, ya que se encuentra u poco más atractiva o atrayente para la sociedad, al momento de cambiar un poco la modalidad de educación ya sea presencial con el uso de las tecnologías, semipresencial, o totalmente a distancia, hace que nos motive o ayude a querer aprender a los que queremos realmente aprender además de facilitarnos la educación a todos.
The Digital Age sparked the booming shift towards the media and entertainment for the past few generations. The current societal paradigm that technology has molded within many first-world, and even some third-world cultures, emphasizes the flourishing bond between the humans and technology. Although the status of the relationship between the public mass and technology has been seemingly ever-changing; it’s clear that the humans are becoming increasingly dependent on technology as it advances. To elaborate, as society advances, technology will follow, and the production of new machinery will eventually replace today’s conventional products. The essay, Are Too Many People Going to College, written by Charles Murray, touches on this subject and notions the possibility of the Internet taking over physical learning-institutions. With the rapid growth of technology, online learning will replace present conventional learning-institutions because of the current state of education,
In this text, the author explores the role that technology currently plays in schools and in education in general, as well as future consequences that will occur depending on whether society continues to insist on a type of education that is relatively lacking in technology or decides to embrace the options available whole-heartedly. There are both gains...
When it comes to the definition of technology in their articles, both Carr and Cascio have similarities and differences. Both authors are debating about the use of technology in today’s society. Both of their articles touch base on the ideals of “what technology is” in their perspectives. Carr believes that technology is making us want the quick path to information or common knowledge and says the Internet is “a machine designed for the efficient and automated collection, transmission, and manipulation of information”. Cascio also believes th...
Over the past few decades technology has advanced quite a bit. The use of calculators, computers, and other techniques in many fields has increased significantly. In a large scale, technology is replacing the method of instruction in the field of education. Many people believe that adopting technology in learning process can increase productivity. However, David Gelernter, who is a professor at Yale University as well as a leading figure in the field of technology, suggests to limit the use of technology in the classroom in his article “Unplugged: The Myth of Computers in the Classroom” which was published in the New Republic magazine in 1994. In this article he offers well illustrated analysis which makes the readers to regulate the use of technology in the classroom. He thinks that the technology comes in a way of building strong foundation of basic skills. He insists that computers should be used to aid the learning process, not to replace cognitive thinking.
The first consequence of globalization was directly connected with computers and software. So, the first step in Chile was to create "Enlaces" whose purpose was to incorporate new information and communication technologies to education in high schools. In 1992, a pilot project was created by the Ministry of Education. It involved twelve schools in Santiago, and then a hundred establishments in the country. Since then, "Enlaces" started to progressively training teachers. In the same way, it started to install the necessary network infrastructure, with equipment, software throughout Chile. For doing so, the students would have equal opportunities to access a better quality of learning resources without taking into account where they are from or the socioeconomic status. “La Plaza” (the square) is well known for being the first software developed. Its objective was to facilitate the integration of technology to the classrooms and students. “La Plaza” had four settings; the Cultural Center, the Mail, the Kiosk which, and the Museum. The last one was dedicated to the teachers as a help, delivering a series of pedagogical tools to support teaching. Nowadays, “Enlaces” has increased student's awareness of technology exponentially, and has provided teachers with new teaching tools (www.enlaces.cl, 2016). This chance has been possible thanks to Globalization which has to allow us to a
At present, since the technology have already become one of the most significant parts of people’s lives, the educational system is also changing by utilizing high-tech. Nevertheless, an issue happens because of the argument between both Digital Natives and Immigrants teacher regarding using technology in class. Teachers who are young generations think computers and projectors will assist them in their teaching approach; however, Digital Immigrants are still accustomed to their old-fashioned way, using book and notebooks for teaching. In my opinion, Digital Immigrants should start utilizing technology in class, and there are three methods could assist them.
Technology forms the most vital element of life in the world today. Every aspect of our lives is dominated by technology and its importance in our lives is indispensable. One of the outstanding facts about technology use in schools is its controversial nature. There is no common agreement by stakeholders in technology and educations sectors about the use of technology in schools. There are two different factions, one supporting use of technology as a positive aspect, while the other faction disagrees, citing the detrimental effects of technology in students. However, the use of technology in classrooms catering for children continues to increase, as education develops more interesting ways of enhan...

Do you ever think about how much technology has changed the way we work, learn, play, and even think? Technology is a major beneficiary to society; especially in the classroom where we get the opportunity to learn and grow. In recent years, schools have begun implementing tablets and other devices in the classroom to better student’s education. The use of technology in the classroom provides more of a personalized learning experience and gives students a widespread availability to engage in learning. Technology is necessary in today’s modern globe, it is basically “the pen and paper of our time and the lens through which we experience much of our world” (Warlick, 2013). Technology is not just considered the “internet”, it is so much greater than that. Overall, it enhances the quality of education and engages students deeper than ever before. With all the significant gains, why would people argue that technology hinders students more than it helps? Critics may try to repute the use of technology in the classroom but I believe what really matters “is the way we use it, the context that we use it in, and the learners who we use it for” (Chong, 2012).
This means if we figure out a way to use technology to teach the students of the 21st century then will have no problem with them having to wine about getting the education that most kids do not really like. According to David Nagel teachers also to be blamed on this issue with technology.(Horizon 1-6-16). This issue can cause many teachers to become furious, but it is true because most teachers will catch some students on their phones and they always never take action after the student. So this means students loose their educational time and spend more time on their social life. Now teachers don’t get to angry technology may not be the only the only one to be blamed, but tech has a higher percentage of this situation. This is really starting to show that technology can be half distracting and half helpful to this
Technology is a crucial part of modern life. From advancements in medicine, infrastructure, transport, and communication; we as a collective society can attribute the comfort of our lives to technology. Technology ( and its various implementations in both develop and developing nations) allow us to connect like never before, creating a ripple effect wherein it is an assumed part of everyday life. As a result of technology and its various uses being an essential element in our daily life, the modern day classroom has had to evolve with the times. The curriculum demands that schools should be integrating technology, especially digital technologies, into their lessons in as seamless a fashion as possible. However, does the prevalence of digital
Modern technology has made it so much easier to obtain educational information for classroom or homework assignments. It offers educational games that stimulate the brain and help children who have difficulties focusing on traditional teaching and learning procedures. College students are even taking advantage of online courses that many colleges are offering as an alternative to physically attending classes. Advances in technology and computers will continue to play an important role in education for many generations to come.
Closing the digital divide involves many components, starting with the education program and teachers. While schools are integrating new technologies into their programs, teachers are supposed to keep up with the latest technologies and use them in their curriculum to teach students. According to a U.S. Department of Education Report (1999), only 24 percent of new teachers felt sufficiently prepared to integrate technology into the curriculum they were using (Brogan, 2000). The problem is, many teachers did not grow up with computers and are not receiving the training they need to operate them (Brogan, 2000). Starting work as early as 7 a.m. and leaving school as late as 5 p.m. to go home and do even more work, leaves teachers lacking the time to learn new technological skills. Many schools offer training programs for teachers. For example, the Palm Beach County, Florida school district teaches Web basics for teachers at middle schools and magnet schools (Brogan, 2000). This is a great idea because it is giving teachers the opportunity to learn about technology and it is showing that the school district is interested in helping its employees become better at what they do.
The information and communication technologies have become in all aspects of life .Over the past ten years, the use of ICTs have changed many things to business and governance. In education, TCTs have become to have attention but the influences have been narrow in other fields . Education is asocial activity and education usually has been connected with teachers having high level of personal contact with students. The use of ICTs on educations is very useful tools which does not change the function of education. Sometimes, ICTs create stress between teachers and students. However, the world moves quickly to the digital media. The role of ICTs are becoming important in education process . the important could be contenue to rise and development in the future. This paper will be suggested that ICTs are important on education process of young people nowdays .In particular, this essay will focuce on
