Technological Advance

Technology not only is a part students learning process; but, also that it conforms as lifestyle, now. It is to say in all our acts of the daily life, since it domesticates or routine until a professional thing, scientific, economic, social, educational, etc.  But, more significantly in the education, the technology has impacted enormously, because, this has created new instruments to apply to the homework/assignments, and that the article “Why We Need to Teach 21st Century Skill …,” by Bob Regan, explain that the technology is “the key… that today we have a new set of tools to apply to the tasks.”
Now, students not only want to be receptive, they become inter-active students, because the technology involves to investigate, analyze, discuss, share opinions or ideas, cultural/social interaction; therefore, they not only “become scientists,” but they become autodidact or cosmopolitan people. Now well, the fact of sharing opinions and ideas of diverse people with different credos and idiosyncrasy is a situation that involves us to speak of a cultural/social globalization.
In conclusion, Reagan empathizes that technology provides different learning styles; therefore, we could conclude that are speaking of an integral education, already that cover information-concepts, visual and of audio knowledge. This situation implies that teacher use “multimedia applications” in all education activities.
The article “What is visual thinking and Visual Learning,” by Inspiration Software Inc., and “Graphic Organizers/Concept Maps” are complements  from the first reading commented above, because it exposes the instruments or visual tools that you should use in the technology, such as “graphic organizers, diagramming, mind mapping, outlining and more.”  These instruments t support a better knowledge in the student “to better understand and retain information.” So we would be talking about integrated knowledge.
In the “A Brief History of Technology” video, I was surprised how technology has endeavored, in regard to education, a development to 100% of knowledge, because not only is  a information of knowledge;  but,  also visual and audio knowledge. Now, I can say that technology has surpassed all the limits of comprehension, and I have to be prepared in this technological advance.
