• Resumen

  • This text ́s purpose is to ponder how the new technologies should be seen by the reflective teacher and to discuss their application in the classroom and how it can be used in knowledge’s transmission. In addition, it also argues about the process of teacher’s formation and the demand to include in continuing training the concern with the new technologies. In a world with constant scientific innovations and abrupt changes in the use of information, knowledge transmission changes are constant. People communicate faster and are always connected through technological tools increasingly present in modern life. This reflects in all fields of human knowledge as the means of production, work, art and, of course, education. Teachers must understand technology as a facilitating tools and as a improved way of interacting with the students. The control of power is with who detains the control of information. And the applied information, culminating in the construction of knowledge is valuable and liberating. In addition to this, the means of diffusion of knowledge may have improved, but we still have the teacher as a central role in education. The teacher’s formation will guide him also in the improvement of education from the perspective of a diffuser of knowledge and pedagogical science. He, as a central role in this process, must appropriate this knowledge and potentialize its use for education thus seeking technology as a information aggregator and with the potential to create learning situations inside and outside the classroom transcending the traditional method of teaching
