Schools struggling to use technology in the classroom helps or hurts … – Globo.com

With the end of winter break of the kids, the Fantastic brings a debate for the whole family: tablets, cell phones and the Internet can help or hinder the study? While some schools are taking applications to help in literacy, for example, abolished once the other technologies. But the hard thing is to set a limit in the house.

Imagine an amusement park within a tablet. It’s more or less what Daniel has only video game. “Forty-eight games! Have more? Do not believe it! “He says.

The mother of Daniel thinks he is overexposed to technology. “I think, but I think it’s our fault too, because we encourage. We have, both myself and his father, is our everyday life, says Denise Source.

But how do you know the limit, the time to stop? This concern is not only the parents. Also reached the schools. “In the past, the taboo was to take the child’s pacifier. And now the pacifier changed his name. Turned tablet “, compares the Isabela Janiszewski school principal

A school for children up to five years made a radical decision:. Ended the use of technology in educational activities. Nothing computer, tablets, much less mobile. The school realized that the children had to learn to play, to simply be children.

“Young children do not know how to see a history book. In time to see a history book, instead of flipping through and listen, they want to spend your finger, “says the psychologist Andrea Bellingall.

In Cuiaba, a school also dismissed the computers. Students have manual activities, such as learning to play musical instruments and crochet. “We want children to have contact with the real world with the real world, says director Cassio Ceregatti.

Offer or not technology in schools? “The use of technology can bring benefits, but can also jeopardize, for example, the ability of social interaction, the development of so-called social-emotional skills, which depend on social interaction, the interaction between people,” says neuroscientist Fernando Louzada.

Excess hinders. Parents also do not need to radicalise and take once the technology of children. “The child has no access to technology may become what we speak of ‘digital illiterate’. Learn to discriminate what is useful and what is not useful. This also we must teach our children and our students, “explains the PhD in psychology Alessandra Seabra.

In a public school, technology is an ally of literacy. Students learn to read using the tablet. The game is actually an exercise that helps children recognize letters and the teacher, to identify the difficulties of each student more quickly. “It is the recognition of the letter? It is the memory? Not making association’s figure with the letter? From that moment, I go and I transfer to my class, “says Cristina Silva Nívia teacher.

Children can use the application for a maximum of thirty minutes.

educational game is used by 28,000 children in Brazilian public schools. The mother of Emanuelle approves. “She was not following the class, but with the use of the application, she had a much greater interaction and managed to get along quick results,” says Gilmara Maciel.

Experts believe that children up to two years should stay away from technology. From that age, the use should be moderate. “More than two hours, I consider excessive. And the company believes it has been researched, because they get to have a lot of symptoms. The child may have a headache, body pain, irritability, aggressiveness, low school performance, “explains neurologist Christian Müller.

So parents have to keep an eye. In the case of Antônio Pedro, 5 years, was the parent who gave the gift tablet .. ‘I said, man, it’s now.’ If you throw the pacifier away, the Fairy pacifier will bring you a tablet ‘. Man, he opened the trash can in the store, ‘Where’s my tablet’, “recalls Miguel Sá

But not so the Antônio Pedro can play in the tablet your time.. Caio also 5 years, his best friend, learned to have no limit, thanks to his father’s strategy. “Delivering the iPad with the battery almost at the end to be able to return it,” says the father. Not that they have learned straight?
