Pioneer Dv220v Review

Breaking (or Broken) News? Appropriation of technology

Diario de Cuyo , the leading newspaper in the province of San Juan, reports today on an employee of the Coca-Cola fired for drinking Pepsi:

Interesting news ... if it were a "news", a novelty. Because CNN actually reported it earlier, much earlier. Let's say in 2003.

Cuyo Journal publishes a "news" that is 7 years old, what a novelty! !

And to think that Internet seemed like a good idea ...

Franco President of the Civil Gleducar

Where technology and education generally the only authorized
voices seem to come from State or from private
sectors, often many times the real architects of public policy
. However, for several years, have been formed
networks of teachers, students and education professionals
, which are arranged outside the structure of educational
to share experiences, discuss and take action
joint.

A good example is Argentina's Gleducar community
( http://www.gleducar.org.ar ), an educational project and
for almost 10 years been promoting an educational model around the idea
of Free and Open Education, based in Knowledge ideas
Free and Open Source movement. It is an open forum for participation
plural, distributed in space, which uses
free technologies to enable their practical and structured as a community
horizontal to give voice to members
civil society, third sector often marginalized in discussions
educational and technological policy.

regard to the various initiatives of "Model 1 to 1" that
spread throughout the country and especially on the national plan "Connect
Equality", the members of the community debate and
Gleducar develop proposals and projects. This is an instance
to think more technological and political model, another opportunity to promote a society
simply choose not to consume, but produce
appropriates and cultural languages \u200b\u200bthat determine it.

product exchanges have emerged
proposals and contributions to plans that seek to bring computers to classrooms Argentine
summarize some of them below:

only free software:
believe that computers should include only free software
. This is essential not only from a technical perspective
but educational. It is not possible using
educate the ignorance, not can be no real understanding or
critical reflection on the technology if it is not possible to understand and
appropriate.

free educational resources:
content incorporating
equipment should be licensed under terms that allow the use, modification, adaptation and redistribution
. Content available publicly
digital content repositories that enable teachers and students
exchange materials and experiences.
should not repeat the current model of private publishers.

Teacher Training:
should be done intensively in a training model
trainers, replicating the knowledge and experience.
encourage collaborative learning and distributed
utilizing other resources and training methodologies, involving the use of Internet
. The practice of new (and not so new) pedagogies
ending with the class and inductive way for
most dynamic models, one-way, participatory and creative.

Distributed Education:
the inclusion of the 1 to 1 on the education system can be
a great opportunity to change the structural dynamics of
education system. One possibility to drive innovation from the base
, amend hierarchical-bureaucratic structure of the ENS
towards a distributed network to enable new pedagogical practices and autonomy
.

far the summary of some of the positions and contributions from
approach Gleducar community, which also invite you to join
all stakeholders in education.
are some of the ideas in the educational community and the
networks, ideas that we hope will begin to have a greater say in the panel discussions
since the end of the day when the
vanish excitement of novelty, when you stop the flood of netbooks and the market
move to other niches, will civil society and the education community
base that will and will not be a true social appropriation of technologies
