The impact of technology on education

Abstract

Technology has been impacting the entire society, not only by means of its benefi ts in comfort and increased productivity, but also, and mainly, by changing human relationships and the way power is exercised. We are in a time of transition where practices, concepts and values from past centuries coexist with behaviors, values and structures from the 21st century. This coexistence, not always peaceful, is the biggest challenge that political actors in society (including teachers and education operators) face in their daily lives.
