KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY

Why using the Internet? Why using the blog in the classroom? Well, basically it seems to me there is a resemblance to when the human being decided to use an object to eat or when people decided to watch news insted of listening to them... It's not a decision, it's just what comes next!

From my point of view, those of us who have access to information and communication technology are privilidged. Never before, students have had so many facilities to access information and knowledge, not to mention that never before students and teachers have been that much "connected".

When I think that we used to have platforms in the classroom which alieniated the teacher so much from the students and that now we can "interact" with each other exchanging more than subject contents, well... that makes me feel proud of this digital generation.

So come on board! blog, tweet, chat or do whatever you like but do it online! Be open to the world because the world is now open to you more than never before.
