How to select the information....?

We must prepare a student for to be able of finding information, evaluating, selecting, structuring and incorporating it into their own body of knowledge, the ability to remember.

Search: allow students to develop information seeking.
Assess information implies the possession of value criteria and the ability to apply knowledge. Select the information once valued, involves making decisions, decision selectively.
Structure information. The new and old information into a coherent whole.
Incorporate information implies the existence of previous information. The thing to avoid is the memorization as the basis for the reproduction of knowledge in a way uncritical. The settlement allows memorization of a database of information that then will shape our criteria for judging, and will allow the structuring of knowledge.

General criteria for the selection, design and evaluation in the use of media and ICT


Five criteria for choosing them:


  1. Suitability: fulfill the task set.

  2. Level of complexity: understanding for students.

  3. The cost: the acquisition and retention.

  4. Availability: materials and equipment available to us when needed

  5. Technical quality: acceptable, audio.

Advantages of internet use for students

Greater involvement, some teachers think they can help you expose your point of view this forces them to try to develop written his opinion.

Some features of the Information Society


Exuberance: We have an overwhelming and diverse amounts of data in which we work every day.
Omnipresence. The new information tools, or at least its contents, we find everywhere, are part of the contemporary public area (that are largely scenario) and also our privacy (...Facebook, Twitter, etc). That's the Information Society. The media have become the social interaction space par excellence, which means better facilities for the exchange of concerns and ideas
Irradiation. The Information Society is also distinguished by the distance that now reaches nearly unlimited exchange of messages. Geographical barriers are disappearing.
Speed. Communication, except technical errors, it has become instantaneous. You no longer need to wait several days or even more, to receive the response from the recipient of an email from us and even to initiate communication mechanisms exist simultaneously at prices much lower than traditional telephony.
Multilateralism / Centrality. The technical capabilities of contemporary communications can receive information from everywhere.
Interactivity / unilateralism. New tools to disseminate information allows users to be producers of their own posts.
Inequality. The Information Society offers wealth of content and possibilities for education and exchange between people around the world.
Heterogeneity. In actual media and particularly on the Internet are doubled-and multiply-attitudes, opinions, thoughts and circumstances that are present in our societies.
Disorientation. The enormous and growing amount of information that we have access not only opportunity for social and personal development. Also and above all has become a daily challenge and a source of oppression for those who receive or can find thousands of news, symbols, statements, images and almost any kind of incitement through the media and especially on the Net.
