good as I said I am a psychologist
passionate about education and use
smart technology and also
pedagogical responsible in maylander a
innovative editorial that what it does are
stories and interactive educational games
but before continuing I wanted to make a
couple of questions so you can see a little
the relevance of what I come to tell you
Some of you have children nearby that
be all day with a device
like this in the hands well and some of
you have someone close family
or friend with intellectual disability
I had the pleasure of working during
more than eight years with people with
intellectual disability
first with children later with adults
and now joining education and technology
of all this experience has lost
mainly three things the first one is
that each person is a different world than
the time to learn something new every
child has interests and needs
different
when I worked in a college of
special education in my class had
five students five different worlds of
learning
three of them had down syndrome
with them he could chat quietly
I understood very well what I told them
another of them had cerebral palsy
this girl understood very well what I
it certainly explained better than
three previous but he had no
kind of verbal communication with me and
the last one was a girl who had a
autistic spectrum disorder that what
that I had was a huge difficulty to
the time to relate to the world
had very little communication
and then how would I give a class
common to all of them so that for
explain for example how to do the
shopping in a supermarket was impossible
we went crazy adapting content
and communication
the second thing that I learned is that the
motivation is a degree I saw that when
use games or activities
participatory
the children were much more
interested and they learned more and the
third thing I learned is that the
technology could help me
customize the learning experience
and motivate the children who were already
digital natives but there was a
problem is that there were very few
quality content and motivating
truly educational
at that moment the opportunity arises
to enter same and lander and work with
technology for education
Viktor Sanchez who was here
spoke of the opportunity to put together
stories games interactivity
technology and make it all accessible
for all children included by
of course children with education
special
the truth is that I did not have had to
spend a lot of time convincing me
It was time to contribute my granite
sand to what I think an opportunity
interesting for education and I started
to think how can technology
help me solve all these
problems that I am telling
I think in two ways
the first is by personalizing
learning experience by adapting the
contents to the needs of each
boy
but to customize first we have
that measure save and analyze millions and
millions of data
this was unthinkable before the Egyptians
for example I kept some moments
historic of their daddies even for
some of us who are here that
we study the information egb
educational
basically what was saved were the
evaluation notes and to know where
this
even I until recently pointed
all the important things in post it
meetings doctor ‘s appointments
the functions of the girls and that’s what
it has gone out of hand
what is the good news is that the
technology now this makes it possible
we live in a world where it is very
simple save and process millions and
million data the famous big data of
done now they are saved 100 times more
data that in the year 2000 for example
and is that to customize we need
know a lot of information about children
We need to know what they like is what
who want to improve how they progress in
your mathematical logical tasks if they are
creative a lot of data
the second thing that technology
could in which technology could
help me
was to involve and motivate the child his
learning process one more way
fun
there are a lot of studies that
show that the brain needs
get excited to learn when
we had a good time when we
we laugh in our brain segregates a
substance called dopamine which is
the neurotransmitter related to
processes of mental agility thanks to the
which we learn faster
the problem is that compared to
other industries such as the world
financial or the i comerç that have already
had a digital revolution in
education we are only starting
if we give the example of what the
process of organizing a trip 20 years ago
years we can remember that
we had to go to the agency 20 times
we had to fix a lot of
papers
we had to carry those papers
airport review do not go back now
everything is easier at home online in a
check out your ticket and good
that’s a breakthrough however
education the change is being much
slower
the other day I went back to my school
after 17 years and everything would be
practically the same
the classes the same children watching
forwards the teacher the blackboard
typical green with chalks
there it was true that he still has
a digital whiteboard so they do not make a
use very different from what the
normal we go to the girls
the change has been minimal we what
what we are doing is working in
increase the intelligent use of
technology in education measure
customize to create experiences
motivating learning I’m going to
illustrate with an example
John is a 7 year old boy entering
our platform
I like it because they are stories and games
interactive and also does not realize
that he is learning juan lee
interactive stories and games
educational applications four times by
week two at school and two at home
about an average of 20 minutes
every time to customize that
learning experience
first choose the cursive letter because it is
the one they use at school to read
then select the applications
that he likes most
in this case are those related to
visuospatial intelligence how can
be the puzzles or the constructions and
also in each game that uses
first selection at more levels
basic to then go complicating the
life and use the most complex levels
after a few weeks we what
we do is analyze that use and progress
who has made juan on the platform and
we see that Juan has enormous potential
in the space area
then proactively
we recommend that you use other
applications that also work
visuospatial intelligence but without
However, we also realize that
Juan is not attracted to him so much the stories are
the applications that have to do with
letters and they get worse but we do not
we discourage what we do is encourage
recommend him rather than
of our interactive stories more
fun and we have found that
fit and connect with children who
they have profiles very similar to Juan’s
so we get it to keep improving in
that verbal intelligence
also in turn we send a message to
their parents to see if they encourage themselves to
read some story with him
all this is possible thanks to the
technology thanks to that we can
analyze the use and progress of Juan in the
platform based on the analysis of their
data and data from thousands of children
with a profile similar to Juan’s
interactivity big data filtered
collaborative in words before without
sense in education and that little by little
they are coming alive is in this world of
education to help her
what is my vision and mission is that the
technology has to stop being a
threat or a monster and you have to
become a facilitator that can
help that good teacher who wants
adapt the contents to the needs
of your students in a much more way
easy and I go beyond all
we can become that
great teacher
the technology is already here and has
come to stay
long ago that digital natives
they have invaded us, they are all those
children that we have around
let’s not be afraid let’s dare and be
call
smart in its use wait is not a
option and as John of wii said yes
we teach today’s students
how we teach yesterday’s people
we will be rolling and tomorrow who will
dare to smile and learn with the
technology
thank you very much the island
