During the last three decades, our society has been modified through different elements. Beliefs, culture and values have suffered this change, too, and a very important agent has been identified as Technology. We are facing a new society, where Education and Knowledge look for strategies that can lead to a better situation. This new order makes everyone analyze everything that surrounds us, and consequently, it leads us to consider the future generations and their demands. Therefore, we have to think deeper finding that Teachers are an essential pillar in every culture. They are the responsible to teach our children, giving values and providing the necessary tools to be successful in today’s life. Tutors have to be in charge of educating these new learners and introducing them into the Knowledge’s Society. Thus, they will be promoting innovation, improvement, participation and inclusion. According to what it has been mentioned before, professors must be in continuing training and they have to update their knowledge. Every generation is different and the importance of renewing their methodologies is determining. A good teacher not only has to present a list of characteristics that represent what an excellent professional is, but also he or she has to integrate ICTs into the curriculum to create appropriate strategies to apply inside the classroom. Chile is not exempted to these changes and to the relevance of updating the methodologies. In the report of MINEDUC, “Innovación y Calidad en la era digital, 20 años impulsando el uso de las TIC en la Educación” it is stated how, in 1992, an innovative project was created with a main objective, improving the existing Curricular Programs, providing didactic tools to Teachers and gave ... ... middle of paper ... ...t to integrate in my career as a Teacher.

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...
Education is a topic that can be explored in many ways. Education is looked at in depth by both Richard Rodriguez in his essay, “The Achievement of Desire”, and by Paulo Freire in his essay, “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education.” After reading both essays, one can make some assumptions about different methods of education and exactly by which method Rodriguez was taught. The types of relationships Rodriguez had with his teachers, family and in life were affected by specific styles of education.
Ever since these recommendations there have been improvements in many areas of education. Our society is technology driven, and so the use of computer and other technological devices have bee...
El hecho de que desempleo juvenil no sólo se puede explicar con las afectas de crisis y este problema es relacionado con dos otros factores; educación y formación. En primer lugar, la tasa de deserción es uno de los indicadores clave para estimar y evaluar en qué medida el sistema educativo es cumpliendo satisfactoriamente la función de mejorar la empleabilidad de los jóvenes entonces, existe una importante tasa de abandono escolar. Según Mínguez (2013), la tasa de deserción en España ha evolucionado en comparación con la de la UE-27.
The use of textbooks and paper tests in classrooms was necessary in the past century because it prepared students for the use of the same materials in their future workplaces. However, in today’s workplace technological devices like the personal computer and ipads have replaced those form of materials making them irrelevant. Although today’s workplaces reinvented their traditional archaic method of working, same cannot be said about today’s school system. In our society, the decision to reinvert today’s education system should be prioritized due to the fall of the American Education system in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development rankings. A question today’s technological advance society needs to ask is “how do we make over the twentieth-century classroom to take advantage of all the remarkable digital benefits of the twentieth century”(Davidson 55). To reinvent our educational system teachers and leaders in our school system need to unlearn the traditional way of learning. “Instead of teaching we need to learn”(Davidson 50). Teachers need to learn from today’s technology savvy 21st century students and incorporate some ideas in their methods of teaching. Although this experiment breaks the educational institute patterns of learning, it also gives
In the first part of this paper I will look into the impact of the three curriculum perspective such as: intellectual process, personal process and social reconstruction into technology curricula. In the second half I will present a comparison of curriculum development through history, definition of technology, rationale and content, goals and assessments.
Technology revolutionized education in so many ways .Now it has become an essential tool for education ,for example using computers has made education more interesting in the eyes of students because when the teachers uses visuals in the classroom, as a result it attracts the students and the subject that they are studying about becomes understandable also meaningful by providing relevant graphs pictures posters maps and videos having the teacher to increase the level of understanding for the presented materials, clarify points support the messages and create more interest coming from the students. In my essay I will write about three main points the definition of educational technology why are we using computers in education after that why are we using books in education next can we replace books with computers finally I will conclude my essay with my opinion. Although using technology in education has made it more interesting, technology has its bad side effects as well. It is true that it is helpful but I think we should use it in moderation since we can't ever replace books with computers.

Education of teachers needs to strengthen and stress upon the main attributes of a profession, such as, the systematic theory, rigorous training over a specified duration ,authority, community sanction, ethical code and culture, generating knowledge through research and specialization. It is acknowledged that formal professional training on continuous basis is necessary for becoming a good teacher as it caters to the development of one’s personality and sharpening of communication skills and commitment to a code of conduct. Emerging Trends and Innovations Innovation is usually understood as the introduction of something new and useful, like introducing new methods, techniques, or practices or new or altered products and services. Schools or teacher education institutions can carry out innovations or experimentation on any aspect of their work related to teaching-learning, training or management of schools in order to improve efficiency of the institution to overcome problems and difficulties, they face in day to day functioning. The present structure of teacher education is supported by a network of national, provincial and district level resource institutions working together to enhance the quality and effectiveness of teacher preparation programs at the pre-service level and also through in- service programs for serving teachers throughout the

One of the most important issues that need to be addressed is the role of the teacher and the methods that they follow. The survey has revealed an irrelevance between what the curriculum proposes and what is actually happening in the classrooms. Most of the teachers have a traditional notion of their role as teachers which influence their teaching processes. The digital natives and immigrant gap still exists. The experienced teachers who have been accustomed with the conventional method of teaching do not have a good regard about any changes in the system. “Unless teachers from the outset of training have the proper attitudes or frame of reference within which to receive
Technology is a key element in the world today. It plays an important role in almost everything. Education is no exception to this; technology has been present in education for many years now. The purpose of this paper is to discuss why education is better with the addition of technology. More importantly, I am talking about this so that my audience will become more aware of how technology supports what is being done in education.
