As the digital age evolves learning and education continue to experiment major transformations. These areas have been at the cusp of major social, economic, and cultural changes and at the center of government policies related to digital inclusion. Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) like the Internet, networked mobile devices, and personal computers have transformed and are changing both formal and informal education. Although the adoption of technology in education is a global trend, specific regions confront different challenges and opportunities according to their cultural, geographical, and political contexts. With the objective of helping to understand how technology is transforming education in Latin America, and contribute to the development of programs, best practices, and policies, we have created the TELA (Technology and Education in Latin America) initiative. What started as regular working group meetings at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, is now growing and becoming a bigger project that we intend to scale and develop in the next years. If you are interested in these topics and would like to join us or stay in touch with what we produce, please check out our new site.
Technology and Education in Latin America: the TELA initiative
I simply desired to say thanks once again. I am not sure what I would’ve carried out without these points revealed by you on such a area of interest. This was a real frustrating concern in my opinion, nevertheless being able to see this specialised avenue you dealt with it took me to weep for joy. Extremely happier for this support and in addition wish you recognize what an amazing job you are carrying out instructing people today by way of a site. I am certain you haven’t got to know any of us.
I often think of the TELA initiative !
Would love to hear from you !
Hola María! thanks for your comment. The TELA has many themes to explore! I also think about it. I am now in Bogota, working at several projects, many of them related to education and learning, in the lines of TELA initiative. I hope you are doing well!
