Glandular Health Problems

not see the forest for Internet

is one of those books that reminds that education is much more than the classroom, between education and society there is more than a statistical correlation or the technology is still a variable of the process, a condition of learning, but not the bottom line.

" Educational Justice and Economic Justice: 12 theses for educational change "of Rosa Maria Torres (Faith and Joy, 2005), there is a new book, does not have to be, but check back with interest stated for not wanting technophilia understand and technophobia in education, I come to conclusion that the two positions, for better or worse, they try to see the tree not the forest.

Without lowering the thesis background of the book to criticize the current social in Latin America that focuses on alleviating poverty rather than focusing on the development, his twelve theses remind us that more powerful is the engine, the educational problems involve the same dimensions that explain the society, the individual and their relationships. Too complex to leave this to a debate between phobia and philia technology.
is not the same change and revolution in education, the truly revolutionary in education today means the technology, if it is necessary but not sufficient. Therefore we must not miss the forest: the education is explained and woven into a multitude of variables which, however, technology is influential but not decisive.

As I was telling a friend, technology offers us a good excuse to rethink education, which is nothing else to think about other variables.

These variables, as the 12 theses, can be a good memory aid for not neglecting the holistic vision that ultimately must prevail in the analysis and educational activities.

1. Poverty alleviation, development.
2. As education sector policy, education and cross-sectoral policy.
3. The dominance of economic criteria, with a broader perspective of the educational question.
4. International aid to a genuine international cooperation.
5. From school, to education.
6. The right to education, the right to quality education.
7. The right to access, the right to learning.
8. The right to learn, the right to learn throughout life.
9. School, the community of learning.
10. Teacher training, the teacher issue.
11. Basic education as school education, basic education and citizenship education.
12. To adapt to change, to influence the change.
