Travelling

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Solving problems

Soluções para dificuldades e desvantagens do uso das TIC:

- Insuficiência de computadores nas escolas:
       - Aquisição (mediante parcerias com empresas de informática ou instituições financeiras) e
         instalação de equipamentos em número suficiente, bem como do software necessário.

- Ausência de recursos em casa:

       - Sensibilização das autoridades com a tutela dos serviços sociais para a necessidade e
          importância de facilitar e suportar o acesso dos jovens alunos a estes recursos em casa;

- Possível monotonia pelo uso excessivo destes recursos:
        - Sim, acho possível isso acontecer. Julgo que as leituras convencionais e a escrita manual
          poderão alterar e prejudicar os prazeres e vantagens dos materiais tradicionais. Deve haver
          equilíbrio. Acho que o face-to-face contact não deve ser totalmente substituído pelo digital.
