Many observers of teaching theory and practice say that educational systems follow the vagaries of social and technological trends, as well as clichés and patterns of pedagogical resources and procedures according to the possibilities of each society, country or tribe. And they are not wrong, based on the analysis of educational systems in both the third and second worlds.
Countries around us, and we ourselves, have been changing the educational approach from the most stale, passing through a normative traditionalism of rigidity both in content and in procedures and tools, to finally, swinging the pendulum of positioning, arriving at educational systems based on what the vertiginous technological acceleration calls School 2.0, in which digital predominates over traditional content, containers and formats.
Some of these countries have had to hit the brakes and redirect the situation so as not to exceed the limits of what is advisable in terms of digitalization and computerization of teaching and learning. However, nobody wants to return to the era of blackboards and chalk, dictionaries with two thousand unbound pages or squared notebooks as a source of storage for educational input. ICTs are here to stay, although with some caution we must adopt a mixed approach between the traditional and the digital.
Obviously, our world of e-learning is closely related and tied to the digital world and ICTs. It is in its founding DNA and forms part of the communication platform with feedback inherent to this educational system that is so in vogue and with sustained growth. Let's look at some of its applications and uses.
ICT in education generally refers to anything that involves technology. This includes devices such as computers, tablets, software and digital whiteboards, as well as educational saudi arabia phone data games, digital learning tools and all the educational applications that can be found on the Internet.
The potential to individualise and maximise people's learning makes digital learning particularly attractive in classrooms and training centres, and even more so in e-Learning courses and training. The individualisation of the use of ICTs makes them effective digital practice tools. The effectiveness of ICTs in education depends on how they are being used and on the pedagogical purpose of the digital tool.
The digital classroom
The best learning happens when real-world problems are combined with real-world problem-solving tools. Since technology is an integral part of the realities of 21st-century learners, these tools must be digital to be relevant.
While the term digital classroom is very loosely defined, it applies to classrooms that employ modern technology and communications to deliver information to students. They use that information online or in a traditional classroom with their trainers and peers to learn new content and lessons.
Digital classroom refers to the "technology-enabled" classroom where student learning and interaction with the instructor and peers are fully supported through the strategic use of information and communication technologies (ICT).
