How are ICT treat at Schools?

Nowadays ICT has developed to the point of being a real important thing in the classroom, but unfortunately as a theoretical concept that has nothing to do with reality in current schools, where technological devices looks to be obtained from the last century.

Every classroom has a digital board used as a screen for projections and computers as paperweights because children don’t know how to use them due to their antiquity…Come on! They have better ones at home! There are a lot of useful devices that can be used to improve what our pupils learn.

The first day a little object was given to us to discover what it was and no one could guess it was a tiny portable projector. Imagine how harmed people are from the educational system that none of seven grow-up people could find out what that device was for.

But not all the problem is from what our government can provide us as teachers. Many schools have a lot of resources for technological development, bur unfortunately, the main guide of education, the teacher, is not prepared for managing with modern technologies. Are they scared of using that? Do they think it will not be useful for teaching? or… Is easier to teach as we have been taught in the past?

To sum up, if we want to become teachers, we have to change our minds and adapt our methodology to new ICT, otherwise we’ll be convicted to repeat and repeat a wrong system that has nothing to do with the world we know today.
