Virtual education: an agreement between technology and pedagogy

Abstract

Knowing and learning from the world around, is and has been a priority for the human being. It is for that reason that different machines have been developed in order to get help in those tasks. One of them is the computer, and since some years ago the Internet. Both of them have opened a world full of possibilities for education and for the development of the human intellect. But the speed with which those technologies have evolvedand entered the society modifying it, and making it more complex, have not allowed that those who have to teach, get the chance to use this technology at a maximum level.This happens, because of the lack of tuition in the use of technology that teachers have, and in other situations, because they do not have the opportunity to use it.The new education systems demand a new pedagogy closer to the students needsin the Tics age. This demands the need of a new teaching style and a new pedagogy that face the education process from what people have called Semantic Web now Web 2.0, which is the topic this written tries to explain about.
