Los nuevos horizontes de la educación virtual

Los nuevos horizontes de la educación virtual

Por Juan Carlos Murillo

Desde sus orígenes, los métodos de enseñanza educativa no habían cambiado tan radicalmente hasta la llegada del Internet. Durante los últimos siglos, el ambiente educativo tradicional ha prevalecido en todas las escuelas y universidades del mundo. El salón, el pizarrón, y los cuadernos de trabajo son las típicas herramientas necesarias para construir un ambiente educativo tradicional. El profesor llega al salón, y comienza a impartir la clase; explicando algún tema en particular e ilustrándolo con ejemplos en el pizarrón. No obstante, con la llegada de nuevas tecnologías, el sistema educativo tradicional se está quedando atrás y está abriendo paso a un sistema innovador en el cual sólo es necesario el acceso a Internet para aprender de las mejores universidades y de los mejores maestros.

October 1 marks 10 years since Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo flipped the switch on the world’s first 3G network in Tokyo.

Microsoft executives took to the stage at the annual BUILD developer conference on Tuesday to give the world its first real look at the future of the Windows operating system. The reception, as you’ve likely read by now, has been overwhelmingly positive. In fact, Apple bloggers were apparently so flustered by the platform that they resorted to bombarding Twitter with jokes about cooling fans and Silverlight instead of stopping for a moment to realize that Microsoft is showing us the future of computing. The PC was the future, and it let people perform functions they never thought possible. Then the tablet was the future, and it let people interact with content in ways they never thought possible. Now, the future means all things to all people. Read on for more.

"With Google, There Will Be Bad Blood"

While Google is still largely beloved by the public, sentiment seems to have turned against them amongst their peers, and even amongst many of the startups around Silicon Valley. While these tensions have been building for months — and even years, in some cases — we’re seeing this on display more clearly than ever now thanks to the patent issue(s).

But why? Why is Google now a villain to many in the industry? I don’t believe it’s because they’re evil, I believe it simply relates to the Plainview quote. Increasingly, Google is trying to do everything. And they have the arrogance to think that they can. And it’s pissing people off.
