Come costruire un dialogo tra cyber alunni e letto scrittori

Abstract

Starting from the students’ difficulties and frequent failures in their learning process, the following study discusses the mental restyling caused by the development of new technologies. The advent of new technologies led us to consider how important is the complexity of knowledge no more restricted to traditional linear criteria of sequencing, through which teachers still translate the complex knowledge, and how important is to take into account the advent of new technologies to introduce different strategies in the organization of information and in the learning process, developing a new critical attitude towards the study of modern media. In the paper there is the description of an experimentation in a classroom. It is similar to an imaginary voyage in the universe of media aiming at promoting a critical thoughtful thinking about the way in which the media work. It’s a way to discover the epistemic value of the psycho-technologies and the psychological value of the epistemic technologies so that the school becomes the space in which the pages of the book can dialogue with the pictures of the screen meeting and building a new logic, different from the book and different from the screen, but capable to integrate both and to create a new epistemology of transversality.
