Just a month after we did echo in the Digital Magazine El Recreo a rumor that circulated through the network over the government's plan provide laptops to primary school children for the coming academic year ( A computer for every child in primary: news or rumors?), news finally confirmed during the course of debate on the State of the Nation, on 12 May, with the announcement of the launch of 2.0 school plan that will make classrooms with whiteboards, wireless Internet and that each primary school student has a laptop computer, a study of the English Confederation of Centres Education (CECE)-called Report 2008 educational technology - indicates that the use of computers in classrooms is linked to a poorer performance in PISA tests. The report says that the computer in class is bad, but not out of this tool.
I have always maintained that the mere inclusion of hardware-school pottery does not guarantee the educational innovation (see video illustration). For the expected change to occur, teachers must be competent in the use and exploitation of the potential teaching new technologies offer in learning and communication processes set out in the classroom. We have a long way to go and must necessarily pass through the initial training of teachers of different educational levels in the control of these resources also begin to transform the reality of the classroom.
