NTRODUCTION TO E-LEARNING (digital literacy (processing of digital…

- - - - That knowledge ceases to be slow, scarce and stable: From different parts of the world, men produce knowledge and disseminate it quickly with the help of the Internet.
        • That the school establishment is no longer the only channel through which new generations come into contact with knowledge and information: The media and electronic networks have become great collaborators, competitors or enemies of the educator, according to be the way they are used or stopped being used.
  - - - Integrating digital technologies in the classrooms and educational centers as well as rethinking and redefining the cultural contents of the curriculum seem urgent measures. Carrying it out, among other measures, will necessarily imply making important economic investments in the provision of sufficient technological resources for educational centers and in the creation of educational telematic networks;
      - One of the most notable effects of digital technologies is that they allow and facilitate greater communication between people regardless of their geographical or temporal situation. New communication technologies break spatio-temporal barriers facilitating interaction between people through oral forms (telephony), written (electronic mail) or audiovisual (videoconferencing).
- - - - One of the main advantages of E-Learning is the ease of access. Training can reach more people, since space-time barriers disappear. In this way, people who previously had difficulties to be in continuous contact with the training processes, due to problems of displacement to the center where the courses are taught, due to lack of time, physical inability to attend class, to live in small villages little communicated with the outside, etc. they now have a wide range of possibilities at their disposal for continuous training.
      - An important disadvantage for e-learning is the self-discipline it requires. While working at your own pace can be an advantage, it can also be a big disadvantage. This is especially true for people who have difficulties with time management and organization. These students tend to be more successful with the structure of traditional education. Another disadvantage of e-learning is the technology involved. Some people do not have access to a computer and Internet connection.
  - - - • The web is really easy to use
        
        • It is a multimedia communication system
        
        • It is a global means of communication
        
        • Compared to other means (telephone, for example) the distance between sender and receiver is not relevant
        
        • Access costs are relatively cheap for students (even if they have to pay for them personally), especially if the alternative is physical displacement, which is much more expensive and potentially incompatible with the student's family and work life.
  - - - Fortunately, today there are technological tools that allow you to take the classroom to an online environment using the Internet, this is known as virtual classrooms and is part of e-learning, which is nothing more than moving the teaching-learning process to portals on the internet accessed through a username and password (depending on the regulations of each institution or training / training company)
      - Virtual classrooms should allow managing various types of materials and resources online; Within the materials that should be able to be used in a virtual classroom are the web pages with content specific to the topics covered, enriched with graphics, images, audios and / videos. Traditional electronic materials can also be used, that is, powerpoint presentations, text documents or PDF.
- - - - Big data, also called big data or massive data in Spanish, is a term that refers to the process that covers the collection of large amounts of data and its immediate analysis. Due to its magnitude, this process exceeds the capacity of a conventional software so that said data can be captured, administered and processed in a reasonable time. It is for this reason that there is a need to address new information processing channels that make it more feasible to capture and analyze it.
  - - - Microsoft Word is designed to create a wide range of professional-looking documents. The fundamentals of Word are the same as any text editing program, but MS Word includes a set of large features that makes it possible to include graphics, images and custom formats, providing users with the tools to create almost any type of document, from pages of a book, to business flyers and to curricula.
        
        Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that produces worksheets that consist of a large number of cells. Each cell can contain a number or a string of text, and it is given a reference marker. Users can use Excel visualization tools to create graphs, tables and graphs with the information contained in those cells. Excel also comes with a series of powerful mathematical functions, so that users can process numerical data as well.
        
        PowerPoint is presentation software, designed to create slideshows. PowerPoint can include video, audio, graphics, images, text and animation with each slide, allowing users an almost unlimited amount of customization. PowerPoint can also integrate information from other Office programs, such as Excel or Word, making it easier to create beautiful visualizations of the data you need to present.
  - - - When we say that you need a "visual support", we do not mean that you should show a series of slides with pure text referring to the subject you are going to present, this way of making presentations is already obsolete, boring and does not surprise anyone. "Visual support" is to show your content with something that catches the attention of your audience, which guides you during your presentation and which, in turn, goes "ad hoc" with your theme.
      - We recommend 3 tools with which you can start making digital presentations, but above all professionally digital.
        
        Prezi It is an easy to use and intuitive tool, currently it is one of the most popular. If you decide to use it for free it will only allow you to choose certain designs and templates. With a payment plan you can work as a team remotely and you can choose more designs.
        
        • Emaze It is very similar to Prezi, has fun animations and effects and contains more template designs than Prezi. This tool is ideal if you want to do something fast but that looks professional. It gives you the option to choose the free or paid plan, of course if you pay you have the right to more storage space, to invite collaborators and to download presentations to see them when you are not connected.
        
        • PowToon It is a very fun tool that allows you to create presentations and animated videos, the best thing is that it is totally free. It can be complicated at first, since it has many menu options, but has tutorials to get you out of trouble and guide you in the preparation of your presentation.
  - - - Having access to the technological world begins with something as simple as acquiring or accessing a computer that allows us to connect to the Internet and expose ourselves to what is generated there: contents, forms of work, social interaction, among others.

      - The best technology is not in many cases the most advanced, but the one that best adapts to the specific needs of a medium where it exercises its function, sometimes it is preferable to use and appropriate according to the requirements of young people, instead of generating unused products with better technology.
