good afternoon
how long new technology is intended
change the processes that define our
everyday life either work or
school
generally we always receive it with
a certain apprehension or at least
sometimes also with rejection
education
this aversion to change is explained very
well because an important part of what
what families and centers do
school is precisely to conserve
our cultural heritage and the
values that defines us who think
that education should be just that
that is, preservation and transmission
from the past will always always have
aversion to the field and a change
technological in particular is a door
open to a huge disguise option and
you better than anyone know what
it means a disruption in the classroom
in fact the story is full of
examples that show us up to what
point education is one or the other
inherent way to the camp
For example, about two thousand
500 years
Socrates will surprise you he opposed
the dissemination of writing by
consider that it would undermine capacity
of memorization of young people and their
access to wisdom in the 16th century
the Benedictine monks that he earned in
a part of your income through the
copied manually
the writing materials came to
mobilize and go out to the street to
show your disagreement with the
mechanization of your work through
more recently the arrival of the
radio was received as a threat by
many educators as strange to them
It may seem more specifically in the
year 1936 a magazine that was called
grammophon published an article in the
that was literally saying something that
will sound very close to the youth of
nowadays it has taken for custom
divide your attention between the routine
task of completing the exercises
schoolchildren and pay attention to the call
stimulating speaker right nowadays
we find a technology that
like no other to us I ask in
our lives and those of the children and
the young people who are your students for
they represent to start a door
open to a new dimension of the game
and entertainment and also to
get to adolescence a
very important tool for
socialization that would be a young man ‘s
nowadays that could not water sapear
really well the data show us
to what extent this penetration is
modifying our childhood concept
and youth
look at the year 2015 a
French study that proved that the
58 percent of French children
under two years of age had already
played more than once with a phone
cell phone or with a tablet two years in
united states we know that only the
12 percent of young people do not have
a cellular phone of his property and
those who have it use it to
to finish
mediated among many other things 30
daily messages is one way or another
when they are openly asked
of every four of those young people do not
answer me is that I live almost
permanently connected they were fixed in
he almost clear everywhere except in
Classroom
it’s not strange that in the world of
education, there are certain doubts about
whether or not to allow the use of
cell phones in the classroom
in fact it is logical to think that in
situations like the one we see is
become an important source of
distraction
there are many experiments that so
show
one of the best known asked a
group of students that did something
very simple that they would see a choice in
video will take notes to then pass a
small exercise to a third of those
students were authorized to use
your cell phone during the class session
without any kind of restriction and
obviously they did it to their liking
another third was also authorized
the use of cell phones but only to
condition that the activity that
had with them be
directly related to the
content of the lesson and finally to
last third was not allowed
no access to the cell phone
the results showed that in
education and that knows it very well
you pay a very high price
for the distraction while barely
there was difference in the results in the
final exercise among those who do not
they had access to the cell phone and those who
they used only to search
information related
content of the election those that do not
they used freely they got a few
results 70% worse in the year
final
a recent study of the academy
North American pp
the cold found a correlation
between the frequency of use of
children and youth of cell phones tablets
and computers and the amount of
occasions when they did not present their
Homeworks
data like these have been used to
effectively demonize the use of these
devices not only in general but
specifically in education you think
that in one way or another are going to convert
to children and young people themselves
they allow the expression idiots
connected that are going to fail in the
carrying out their school work
will get very bad results and for
consequently they will have very black
prospects for future success not only
in school but in general life
but some of you will tell me good
but it is that the subject not only the
cellular the subject are the applications and
they are partly right but only in
part
although there are thousands of applications
that are self-proclaimed educational but of
done in the app store for example less
of 10 percent is able to present
some kind of evidence of the kindness of
the results obtained through
its use and the percentage of
those applications that contains some
type of orientation dedicated to
adults and families
that is the teachers to know
no party truly like to extract
it is strange in these circumstances that
in many schools despite
that the public policies that
permit
fortunately its use in many centers
school premises are prohibited
effectively its use by different
reasons among many others
because the digital nature of
device and the contents with the
that is worked is the most opposite to the
dominant culture of the printed book that
characterizes most of our
schools of one or another
what is important is to realize that
this denial of the existence of those
cell phones can be considered by the
teachers how to close the door to
threat that there is a challenge to your
authority as demi burgos of
knowledge is to say the door of
only access to knowledge and
true but the reality is that seen
from the student’s perspective
There is a huge contradiction between
your daily life
outside of school and within the
school
the most important tool in your
Life outside of school is prohibited
when he will not chase inside the classroom
well this is paradoxical
notice why we have other
technologies for example pens
that never ban is in spite of that
we know that thanks to the pens
there are many students who write with
misspellings and there are also
many students that when we give ourselves the
back they pass notes they have written
by the pen of each other
truth and despite that despite their
risks
we do not prohibit the use of pens
On the contrary, we consider ourselves a
essential tool to teach you to
children and young people write with
correction that happens with cell phones
you mediate part of the problem lies
where teachers do not have the
adequate capabilities we do not know how
extract truly played that
tool from the point of view
pedagogical but deep down too
there is something much more important that has
to do with our conception of
role of the school in the formation of
future generations
We believe that the fundamental role of
school is to teach children and
young people that their future has to be what
more similar to what it was
our past
or on the contrary our mission is
help them to invent their future as
said the song we heard
learning from the past and
committing to the present
that is the real question if
they truly respond that they believe in
a school that is relevant to
children and young people living in the
today’s world
they really have no option have
than finding effective strategies
use of those cell phones and so they see
that is not impossible
I’m going to show you three examples that
they come from different countries
this is jesus jesus is a professor of
social sciences that has devised a
series of activities for their students of
upper secondary in which he asks them
that go out into the neighborhood to
document thanks to their cell phones
problematic aspects that have to
see with economic social issues
or environmental aspects of the place where
lives and they do it by taking pictures with
his cell phone recording videos
interviewing neighbors and also to
the political representatives that
they would have to offer solutions to this
problematic and finally publishing
the results of your research in
a digital magazine
this is the case of jesus this other is
Maria is a language teacher
French that at the end of each
lesson to their students 10 10 years of
age asks you to connect comes
using your personal device comes
using the tablets that the
own center to a website in which
they have to answer a very short
exercises on the contents that
have dealt with today in class
this very short exercise does not work for
qualify each of the students
but it is extremely useful
yellow because thanks to those
results knows perfectly
if in the next class you should insist on
some elements that attracts
if some of those elements were not
completely understood by nobody
in the class and even more important
which are the students to whom
should pay more attention either
because they can go faster or by the
opposite because they require support
additional and finally this one is jose
Joseph
is convinced that the fact that
your students have in their pocket a
cell phone is not only a huge savings
economically to the school since it no longer
it is necessary to buy more equipment
the boys and the girls come to class
with them but also think that
thanks to those cell phones you can take
the teaching and learning processes
to another level with three more partners
from other centers has built a series
of elections on video using a
very simple technology that are
available on youtube and asks their
students that once a week
visualize at home because not using
your cell phone one of those lessons when
the students go to class to the day
next jose will not tell you
No story like parrot is going to
allow them to raise their doubts starting
that video they saw and especially going
to use class time to
experience alternative solutions to
the problems that arose in that
video like seeing jesus maria and jose
and they represent three different strategies
three different strategies
harnessing the potential of a
tool that are not only the
pockets of the students but that way
part of your daily life and will follow it
being as it is also part of your
own daily life
so the question is very simple
are you in agreement to support and
applaud jesus maria and joseph in
these efforts or on the contrary
they think it’s much better to follow
prohibiting the use of
dollars in the classroom look if they want to
Give them my personal opinion
I believe that the day has come when
to know if a good teacher a good
teacher is really committed
with a quality and relevant teaching
for your students
just attend with putting a lot
Attention to the first words that goes
to pronounce when the class starts
guess which are they understand the
cell phones
the class begins many thanks
