Thirty years ago, it seemed like a fallacy to defend the idea that contact with technology would generate new ways of learning. Today, however, it is a true reality, and not only for young people, but for all of us who are exposed to the large number of devices that make up new technologies, including teachers.

Current education also brings with it new concepts that are gradually gaining prominence, such as gamification , the flipped classroom, eLearning and connectivism .

The latter is well known to Ángel Fidalgo, a professor at the Polytechnic University of Madrid “with a vocation and concern for improving teaching”, and who has also given several bahrain phone data workshops and talks during the International Congress on Learning, Innovation and Cooperation ( CINAIC ).



How would you explain what connectivism is in education?
In the traditional model of education we are used to students being evaluated on what they are capable of doing individually. They are supposed to learn and even if they work in a team, in the end the grade is individual.

Connectivism, on the other hand, is a way of approaching education in which, if we all, and I am talking about students and teachers, share and collaborate, it allows us to value how the individual participates in collective learning .
