Povzetek

Današnja generacija je prevzeta z digitalnimi mediji in njihovimi pripomočki, ki so del njihovega vsakdana, vendar še vedno hodijo v analogne šole, kjer so učni pripomočki in način poučevanja njim oddaljeni, če ne tuji. Otroci preživijo tretjino svojega življenja v šolah, večina pa se, žal, dolgočasi. Zato je nujno potrebno spremeniti način šolanja in jim s sodobnimi sredstvi približati poučevanje. Živimo v dobi informacij, te so postale ključ vsakdanjega življenja. Če kaj potrebujemo, se obrnemo na splet in preko spletnih brskalnikov pridemo do željenega. Tudi v službenem življenju brez spleta dandanes več ne gre. Informacije, ki jih splet nudi, so izjemen dodatek pri poučevanju, vendar se marsikdaj v njih skriva tudi kakšna past. Zato moramo učence naučiti, kako iskati informacije in predvsem, kako jih preveriti.

Abstract

Today's generation is consumed with the digital media and its accessories, which became a part of their everyday life. But they still go to analogue schools, where the teaching utensils and the ways of teaching are distant, if not alien to them. Children spend one third of their lives in schools and the most of it they are, sadly, bored. This is why the transformation is essential in order to bring the learning process closer with the help of modern means. We live in the age of information, which became the key element of everyday life. If we require something we turn to the internet and with the help of the browsers get what we wanted. Even the professional life today is simply unimaginable without the internet. The information found are an exceptional addition to the learning process but at the same time they can be dangerous traps. This is why we must teach the children how to look for the information and, above all, how to verify it.
