Digital culture in education.

Hugo Pardo Kuklinski

As we are part of the new generation, we see that classrooms have changed from what they were before. Now, we have the opportunity to introduce new ways of learning in our classrooms which provide motivation to learn.

On Wednesday 28^th of September, we were invited by our teacher to attend to a talk held by Hugo Pardo Kuklinski at Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL). Hugo Kuklinski is a PhD in communication and the director of a project called “Outliers School”. Although we wanted to attend the talk, we were not able to go, but after reading my partners’ blogs we could get some important issues treated at the lecture.

One concept we came across when reading our partners’ blogs, it is the so called “Intraemprendedores” which according to Hugo, it is a task for teachers to think about the position they have as regards content, methods and technology. It was also mentioned a “Red de interaccion” which as we read, Hugo did not provide clear examples on how to apply it to the classroom, leaving aside the role of the teacher  and making obvious that the “red” was more intelligent than the educator.

On the positive side, we could see that he emphasized the importance of taking advantage of the possibilities that technology brings to us to change the learning atmosphere and  the promotion of a flexible environment. It is important to bear in mind that the role of the teacher it will still be relevant in the classroom, so it is of highly importance to not disdain it.
