Technology... a good tool for education.

Currently the technologies have taken importance in the development of health, politics and education, because in different environments where the people develop they have to use and work with them, the implementation of technology is embedded in the globalization process occurring today, which implies a rapid processes of new information technologies and communication are changing the way of developing, acquiring and transmitting knowledge. In my opinion these have been a successful experience and opportunity, specifically on education to get better learning, benefits and potential quality in all education levels, breaking the barriers of space, time, and culture. Nowadays the technologies are essential.

In the first place the technology facilitates the communication between the teachers and their students due to the existence of platforms, for example, in some subjects we use the web “u-cursos” to keep the contact about questions or doubts, know the information that we need for study and marks that we have. Also there are courses or classes that teaching online in which the teacher and student contact at the same time and possibly a big distance, sharing knowledge, learning, discussing and resolving doubts.

Secondly, we use programs as Stata, SPSS or E-views in some subjects: statistics and methods to investigation. In these cases the technology is a fundamental tool to carry out the results and make an explanation of investigation problems. Besides the technologies, specifically internet, allow us the access to work material and support to complement the study material (papers, books, webpages, research,etc.), therefore, these sources of information, facilitating the acces to computers and programs in the school, are helping the students to learn easier than before and reducing the cost and time. For example, when we use data show to expose a work.

Finally, the student are more motivated when they use technology, they has a high interest in them because using computers and radiod due to the class are interactive between us and with the teacher. They make learning more permanent, that is to say, the technology offers a real or practical experiences that stimulates the students activity . For instance, the practical use of English programs or writting blogs encourage the participation of members of class while a written interaction.

In conclusion the technologies exist to attend the needs of human, at the same time they contribute to develop of them and increase the knowledge, making integration among the members of university and progress for the stability of education in the future. Despite of there are still challenges to meet over the development of technologies, they have contributed in big percentage in improving the characteristics of university's education. These opinions are reflected in the EGGP too, because despite the implementation of new computer rooms and use of internet in some classes and programs, we need more and better use of technology.
