2 Our Children are living in the most intensely stimulating period in the history of the earth. They are being besieged with information which calls their attention, from every platform; computers, from i-phones, from advertising hoardings, from hundreds of television channels and we are penalising them now for getting distracted. From what? Boring stuff, at school, for the most part Sir Ken Robinson, Changing Paradigms

11 LEARNING WITH LMS (MOODLE)

12 Components of learning styles applied to LMS There are discrepancy between different authors on the components that are cited as part of the learning style. However, among those who have raised more unanimity we found: Physical and environmental conditions of space and / or classroom: light, temperature, sound. applied to virtual environments, they should consider the quality of the computer with which you work, screen, connection speeds and classroom design, etc.. Content preferences, areas and activities carried out by the students: the virtual classroom competes in an environment in which the students have available other materials of their choice, and by definition much more entertaining and attractive.

13 Components of learning styles applied to LMS Type of grouping: refers to whether the student work best individually, in small groups within a class group, and so on. a good classroom design should consider these possibilities. Strategies used in problem solving by students, for example, inductive and deductive Levels of attention in a new activity and / or activities of feedback, which involves the presentation of new content in an attractive manner and effective feedback Materials you want or need to solve some tasks, students should be promoted content managers, who know where to look and how to look. Stimuli that the more positive outcomes for the accomplishment of learning tasks Motivation: what type of work you are motivated and more interested, identifying levels of difficulty, who attributed failures and successes

14 WEB 2.0

15 General considerations The use of any tool for learning via the web should consider: - The students - Learning Styles Therefore: the form of presentation should be as varied as possible, in order to ensure inclusion of all the learning styles and individual characteristics of the students.

16 About the students 57% learned to use the computer in a collective manner." Students use technology outside school, learn with their peers, friends, in the cyber and at home. Very few in the classroom and with their teachers "The students themselves tell us that the classes are boring, with a very linear story and that teachers do not include the work in hypertext, networks and multimedia. It is a space of much boredom that doesn t address these potentials" Center for Avanced Investigation in Education (CIAE) 2011, applied to 915 students in the Metropolitan region, Valparaíso y Concepción. The CIAE is composed of the following Universities: PUCV, U de Chile and U de Concepción.

17 About the Students The problem is not only technological, it is also educational. Technology is an evidence of the phenomenon, not the origin. In the areas of language skills it has been established that the problem occurs in oral and writing expressions. If the teacher could understand that these expressions occur in these networks, they could seize this learning and the understanding in this type of communication. 89,7% of the students always or almost always search for information on the internet to do their homework. 73,2% of the men and 84,4% of the women define technology as very important. Facebook is valued among the students of middle and lower strata, while the use of Twitter are not detected significant differences.
