Teacher training is becoming more and more important every day and the time spent throughout their teaching career is undoubtedly increasing year after year. In recent years, a new training need has also emerged among teachers. It is about the training of teachers in new technologies, an essential requirement to be able to keep up with the times and be able to take advantage of the amount of opportunities in their classes that offer the insertion of new technologies in the field of education.

In addition, students in this sense are very advanced on many occasions and it is important to know each step they take in order to be able to keep up with the technological advances that can most benefit their academic and professional training.

The use of New Technologies in the classroom

The emergence of new technologies in our daily lives has become very important in our environment, with a wide range of practical applications in different business sectors and also in education.

This has made available to schools all kinds of resources, programs, or tools that can be used today to manage, process, and share information through numerous technological supports such as televisions, mobile phones, computers, tablets, and through the Internet.

Some of the most interesting advantages that new technologies bring to education:

Implementing learning tools of this type brings with it interesting advantages in the educational field, creating a much more dynamic environment and learning process:

• With them, we can create content that is adapted to the needs and interests of each specific student. Also allowing learning to be adapted to students with special needs.
• They facilitate learning in a more attractive and enjoyable way, much more active and participatory than with more traditional methods.
• They favor the understanding and interest of the students because they put at their disposal a wide variety of resources such as audiovisual material, animations, graphic documents, interactive programs. All kinds of multimedia tools that reinforce the content seen in a class by students.
• The student can interact more easily, creating their own resources, being able to communicate, and exchange experiences. In this way, he goes from being a simple receiver to an active participant in the classroom. This makes the teaching process much more dynamic and participatory.
• They favor teamwork by having many more tools that facilitate collaborative learning and communication between students.
• They favor the development of students’ autonomy because they now have many more sources and channels to search for information, promoting self-learning.
• They manage to eliminate the barriers of space and time between teachers and students, who can be communicated at all times and in real-time. This allows the learning experience to go outside of the classroom and continue outside of the direct influence of the teacher.

Teacher training, one of the greatest challenges for your success

Educational centers can use new technologies to streamline the teaching process, enriching it. The educational community agrees that the advantages of bringing technology to the classroom are undeniable. But they also agree that one of the greatest challenges facing the success of this integration is precisely the training of teachers to be able to face the impact that this innovation has on the dynamics of the classroom.

That is why it is essential that teachers are trained in the use of new technologies and their applications within the classroom, in order to face the new challenges and possible problems that may arise in the face of so many new tools. Schools are the ones that really have to worry about offering quality training to their team of teachers in the field of new technologies applied to education so that they can get the most out of it in the classroom. 

It is not just that they know how to use the tools or solve possible technical incidents that arise on the fly. It is also very important that they are able to adapt the curriculum to new formats in an interesting way for students and above all that they know how to help their students learn to make responsible use of new technologies both in the classroom and in their daily lives.
