The school must adapt to new contemporary languages. It seems like a trivial sentence ... and maybe it is! However, if we do not start from this simple consideration we can not think of a new school and in step with the times and in all likelihood, we teachers would end up losing contact with reality, which is very serious with our students.
The boys now live in a world of oversized, iperaggettivato, hypertrophic, hyperconsumeristic ... undergo a constant bombardment of information, news, images and sounds that do not follow each other in time but often overlap, creating a supertimolazione intellectual, while scary, but it can encourage the construction of new knowledge and open new vistas for learning.
In short, we can not think of teaching as an activity to be managed separately from what happens outside, evolving technologies and languages. Nor can "demonize" the use of Internet, e. Mail, sms, e. Pod and all that in recent decades has revolutionized the world of communications.
Computer use has become a fact of life in all Italian schools may lack the funds to purchase equipment .. but no one would ever question the usefulness and desirability of using them for learning of each subject! The teaching of history and has changed radically thanks to the use (intelligent and driven) the "network" has become possible to search stimulating interdisciplinary build trails, build bridges between news, facts, images in order to make more exciting, engaging the learning of subjects that kids usually find it difficult to assimilate.
The interactive whiteboard was a breakthrough in this direction useful.
