How people learn with technology?

Technology has changed a lot through time, so lifestyles have changed as well. Today`s society is full of innovation, and children are immerge into technology since they were born. Due to this, we need to teach using all the technological tools that we have available.

Teachers have started to introduce technology into their lessons with the purpose of making them more dynamic. Therefore, students are having more access to content and knowledge while using web searchers, wikis, social networks, video, podcast, encyclopedias, etc. Finally, they have become more creative, and they are starting to be producers, publishers, and reviewers of their peers.

Integrating technology into the educational system is not an easy task, so the key for the teacher to succeed is to know how to use the TIC`S appropriately. Also, teachers need to know how the learning process works in order to teach better. Nowadays it is important to teach with technology, but always taking into consideration how people learn. Learning occurs in context because without an appropriate context, comprehension and learning are difficult; and technology can facilitate learning by providing real world contexts that engage learners in solving complex problems. Learning is also an active process, because students need to get involve with the technological tools in order to understand them. Besides, learning is also a social factor because students have to work together with the tools and share perspectives. Plus, learning is reflective because students get involved in projects, built knowledge, and give feedback to each others.

As a conclusion, technology can be very useful if we know how to use it in an appropriate way. Lessons can be more dynamic, and learning can be easier for all of us.
