Educational technology is the sum total of the activities that make the
person modify their external environments (materials) or internal
(behavior). A systematic application of scientific knowledge of the process
you need individual resources to acquire and use knowledge. When
superficially speaks of "new technologies", we are incorrectly using an
adjective, since the new confundimos it with the latest, 'the rage in
techniques'. In education, technology first as we have said on several
occasions, should not confuse machines or devices with application of
technologies that have more to do with the means and resources with the
same media organization. The resource has no why passing fashion or use
while this last as usual to do. A resource can be eternal if the mind that uses
it has appropriate planificadora creativity to make it useful. The Socratic
method we are still using it, with different content, as we use the
Whiteboard, or book. An encyclopedia on CD-ROM does not lose its
character of encyclopedia; that changes its method of use, ease and speed
in management, quality, mobility and sounds of his illustrations.
Uses of multimedia
Today we can not express ourselves in relation to the audiovisual
technologies related to the media without referring to the 'cross-media' or
'multimedia' consisting of the simultaneous or successive use of several
audiovisual resources. Currently the term "multimedia" seeks to reduce to a
set of computer equipment of including an operational unit. Sense, is so
restricted confusing the part with the whole. We must not forget that the
term multimedia, already in the year 1965 treaties referred to any joint use
of audiovisual media. We are still far of classrooms for all computerised
means, and we must in addition, recourse to the analog and to digital,
video, the sounds and the CD-ROM. A realistic application of the concept of
'media' is preparing teams for various types of materials that develop a
specific topic. The computer contains disks, magnetic tapes, slides, prints,
films, brochures, etc. even three-dimensional objects, recordings and
laboratories for training psychomotor or teaching of foreign languages. The
slide shows are multimedia use sound and image from multiple projectors,
retrotransparencias, etc. This type of presentation you can currently using
projections from software, but we must not forget very creative systems of
some years ago, but not for new technologies must lose validity. Planning
and programming for this class of presentations is moreover very
demanding so succeeds only in the case of very careful preparation.
Technological advances in education
Ten years have been extremely rich in technological changes applicable to
education in order to provide the best and most important experience for
students and extending this to a number more. It is absolutely proven that
the use of the 'multimedia' improving student learning and at the same time
reducing instructional time and education costs. Students need for their
future professional use of technology, as they vary greatly in their ability to
perception and learning; therefore, individual training requirements. Some
learn quickly and easily through oral or printed information, and with a
minimum of more direct experience. Most require more specific experiences
that include the audiovisual media. There are many cultural factors that
affect learning; therefore the students need a wide range of experience that
includes real-world aspects, Visual representations and abstract symbols.
The new needs and job prospects that the student has advised greater
participation in learning through active research and testing methods.
Educational programs need to be appreciated in terms of power and
flexibility of personal application time, and resources available. Employment
demand requires a preparation which obliges the knowledge of all things
having to do with the information society, new technologies, the multiplicity
and professional variation, interaction resource and at the end of everything
that facilitates labour and professional insertion. Teachers, using new
technologies may be released for guidance work. The new training patterns
which take account of new technologies and the media to improve learning
are new features of teachers. It is Professor which must provide the
information, since this may be be more effectively by appropriate means,
either to provide large groups or to each student expand it itself individually
or to be used in a small discussion group. Teachers as individuals, as
computers are freed of routine work and can do the job really creative, and
professional guidance of students had neglected so far. This work
orientation and guide is: broad participation in the planning and production
to match the needs of groups or individuals that are intended for audiovisual
materials. The use of technology to improve communication requires
change by other more agile routine methods to achieve the educational
goals. Heavy-duty teachers to these changes is that break with the routine
disrupted a common situation. Also, inexactamente is believed that new
media deshumanizan education, move to teachers and education
accordingly will automaton without human quality that gives the teacher-
student communication. Today, with the increase in the disciplines of study
of them, specialization and the increase in professional demand content
what is really happening and what educators, usually forget is that the true
humanization and personal seal can only achieve using appropriate
technological resources released Professor routine work and the mere
transmission of information, so that you can do the job counselor and
guidance in the formation of his students.
