The educational model should be progressing at the same time as society advances, that is why the implantation of new technologies in schools is so important. An educational resource that does not seem to be available to all schools, but which is becoming increasingly necessary.
We analyze the advantages and disadvantages of new technologies in the education of children. Dehumanization of education or progress? In life, as in school, we must put the technological advances at the service of our children and not the other way around, with children slaves of new technologies.
Advantages of new technologies in the school
- New technologies in schools not only provide students with multiple resources for their learning but also involves them in a "technological world" they will need for their future. - The study methods
with the introduction of new technologies in schools vary with respect to the traditional method. It is not so much about memorizing, but about investigating, selecting and reasoning, something that stimulates their autonomy in the management of resources. El - The promotion of curiosity is another benefit of new technologies in schools. Children do not have to limit themselves to the teacher's explanation if they want to know more about a topic. Future researchers are gestated in the virtual classrooms of schools. - Although it may seem otherwise, new technologies promote social ties among the group and promote teamwork
, cooperation and collaboration among children. With the added advantage that they do not need to be in the same physical space to interact. La - The new educational proposals that introduce new technologies in the classrooms also include parents who can become more involved in the homework of their children and be up to date with what children learn thanks to online platforms.
Disadvantages of new technologies at school - It has a high cost. Obviously, equip the classrooms with latest generation electronic devices, can be a high investment. Hay - It must be recognized that some teachers are not willing to change the way they teach and are reluctant to introduce new technologies in the classrooms, stagnating in a more traditional and more rigid education.
- One of the biggest dangers to learning derived from new technologies is that the student finds it easier to find tricks to facilitate school tasks, copying them from the Internet instead of doing them for himself.
