thank John Silva of Chile for this very interesting article:
Juan is a professor of mathematics and computer Master in Computer Engineering from the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH) and Doctor of Education in Educational Multimedia program at the University of Barcelona. It's Academic Department of Education and Coordinator of the virtual training area in the center of the USACH Comenius. She teaches the subjects of the pedagogical use of ICT for basic general education students and graduate programs in education, runs projects in the area of \u200b\u200beducational computing, an area which publishes books, book chapters and articles and made presentations at conferences. Additionally advises public and private organizations, universities and schools for teachers to integrate ICT in their practices more. Educate 
in the era of Digital Natives 
Information Technology and Communication (ICT)
Marck Prensky coined the concept of digital natives, gave a conference title in Chile in 2009 "Encántame or Pierdeme "to refer to the challenge presented to teachers as Digital Natives must be done to reach them and charm them, one of the strategies of integrating Information Technology (ICT) as a resource to support Education and creating learning environments conducive contextualized learning, both personally meaningful and collaborative.
Who are the Digital Natives?
The concept of Digital Natives and Net Generation, New Millennium Learners, among others. Referred to children and young people born or born in the digital age, for which the use of technology is common, they can not imagine a world without technology. For them, their use is not something new, innovative, technological or less is normal for them invisible technologies. It is considered part of this generation born in the nineties. In this context the rest of us are immigrants digital, as we have had to adapt and integrate technologies. Learn
independently and ... more empathetic curiously
Coincidentally these digital natives are part of a new generation of more committed to the environment, caring for the world, animals, people, as we see are people new calls to transform the world with their ideals and where ICTs play an important role for the use to learn, communicate, organize, entertain, investigate and learn independently. Students
2.0 stars and co-creators
2.0 Some speak of the student to associate these digital natives and the school system. Above for linking students with the use of ICT tools they use consistently and transparently, Cell Phones, PDA, Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, Skype, Blogs, Wikis, which are framed within the paradigm of Web 2.0 and you social web which sees the Web as a dynamic, participatory and collaborative, where users become active participants, creating and sharing content, thinking, participating, interacting, as opposed to static Web will, in which the user had a passive role, merely an observer and consumer of content. 1.0 Adult
passive consumers
Adults come from the web 1.0 that is associated with transmissive model of knowledge, hence some speak of education or school teacher 1.0 and 1.0, digital natives live and develop in the context of Web 2.0, then they need teachers and schools to respond to this logic. Teachers and schools are called to build bridges between formal education that occurs in school and informal that occurs on the Web. Anyway, but what makes these natives will continue to learn and prepare for the future accompanied by their inseparable friends the Web 2.0 and devices that enable Internet access, phones, Laptops, NetBook, PC, etc. Learn
group and technology
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in a study of its member countries in the context of what they call the new millennium learners, found that students want to learn in groups, performing practical tasks, working with friends and using technology, in that order, as we see technologies are not the center is a resource rather than allow them to expand the social and academic.
want to learn in groups, carrying out practical tasks, working with friends and using technology.
The question asked is why many teachers integrate ICT in teaching? The reason is simple because they are part of the world that students live outside of the classroom, using ICT creatively, as a more integrated into the classroom, allows to bring these two worlds. ICT give the teacher the opportunity to re-enchant not only students but teachers with the profession. In these new scenarios is expected to change the role of the teacher of a teacher transmits knowledge to orchestrator of learning environments, a facilitator, a mentor who guides and accompanies the student and group progress in the adventure of learning. The technologies are not the focus, not magic, the professor can do magic with them, creating learning environments and virtual.
"Kids do not want to go out to recess"
ICT gives us the opportunity to learn from young children, they know a lot more use than adults, allowing the teacher to move from the board to room to support the work of their students, allow students to take the role of teacher and teach their peers. A class with ICT is motivating, entertaining, different, something happens that is very curious "children do not want to go out to recess" and on the other side and this brings us closer to them, the teacher who knows and uses ICT in their classes improves communication with students. I am convinced that the great educators, past and present, would favor and promote the use of ICT use as a resource to mediate the teaching-learning process, would be building and using digital materials in the education potential of Internet, multimedia applications, video games , social networks, blogs, wikis, Web 2.0 ultimately. Finally, as teachers, and parents who prefer "charm them or lose them? My money enchant and you?, If you want to track how, here and give some to delve into the next number.
