Expanding Knowledge: From the Classroom into Cyberspace
Barbas, Maria Potes Santa-Clara
Educational Media International, v43 n1 p65-73 Mar 2006
This paper is part of a larger project in the area of research. The main purpose of this mediated discourse was to implement, observe and analyse experiences of teachers in a training project developed for two different settings in the classroom. The first was between international classrooms through cyberspace and the second was a cyberspace forum. We carried out these experiences with beginning teachers in training during semester-long courses on "audiovisual communication techniques". The data analysed in these two projects indicated that the integration of ICT (information and communication technologies) had a great impact on student teachers' abilities to improve their pedagogical, individual, social and technological skills in order to build effective teaching tools and materials through the use of ICT. The positive outcomes of the project were: (1) teachers conceived the information in a multimodal format through the integration of linear and nonlinear formats of information in their pedagogical training; (2) teachers underwent significant learning because they were put in the position of hypermedia product builders; (3) teachers acquired information/tools not only to search but also to build and analyse digital discourses; (4) teachers conducted research emphasizing various points of view.
