Is it possible to work with the Technology Curriculum and all that it represents a learning situation?

We can see that there is some discomfort when it comes to teaching and practice with the use of technology in the classroom. This is because many teachers believe that this use can lead to indiscipline and also harm the creativity and spontaneity of the student, and perhaps not fully mastered the art technology.

It all depends on our vision, our will to change, to provide students with new ways to learn. A positive look for the correct use of technology in the classroom may find that it will bring much more than you think, its use boosts intelligence and create environments for learning. We need to break the paradigms that bind us to old models of education, since that the goal of school is the development of physical, intellectual and moral of the students, it needs to democratize knowledge and recognize the need that is to bring technology into the classroom, into your planning, being understood assimilated, criticized ... does not matter, but being used.

Schools have to take a didactic attitude of commitment to technology, must assume a position of growth, change and get it new ways of doing education, take the multifunctionality of the teaching-learning and articulate their three dimensions: technical, human and politics.

No good programs and more training programs, if the teacher does not know how to use the technology as their ally and partner in building the knowledge, use it as an educational tool that will help you expand your abilities and competence, it should be understood to be well used, produce results and bring about change.

The more schools and teachers need to delay the imminent use of technology, are becoming more distant from their students, who fill lan houses (on record access to Google with 12 million searches a day), which are 02 hours at the computer who know to handle any electronic device as if they had written the instructions of these.

Answer me honestly: some of you have already arranged for a student to study 02 hours per day or throughout his school life, did 12 million Question?

According to the dictionary Wikipedia, the Internet, the word didactic (teaching) comes from the Greek expression Τεχνή διδακτική (Didaktik techne), which translates as art or technique of teaching. Technology, in turn (from the Greek τεχνη - "office" and λογια - "study") is a term that involves the scientific and technical knowledge and the tools, processes and materials created and / or used from this knowledge.

If we combine the two, we have the following definition: Curriculum and Technology: the art of teaching with scientific and technical knowledge.

This is the role of the teacher teach in a technical way, with knowledge and ownership of their goals ... This is also the function of school and education, providing students with a world of possibilities, a world of knowledge in which there are no borders, a world that can turn every "click".

It is up to you, educator, this change in concepts and definitions. Do. Change. Provide. Transform.
