Teacher's Guide for Selecting Proper Digital Technology to Support Didactic Strategies Compatible with Students' Learning Styles

摘要

Advances on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have influenced education, and transformed the teaching-learning processes, among others aspects. It has been established that teachers' knowledge on digital media, their design and pedagogical application, is extremely relevant to improve their teaching activities. As Salinas (1997) says "teachers are essential at the time of initiating any change. Their knowledge and skills are essential for the correct operation of a program". Therefore, it is needed to extend the variety of educational experiences they can offer to students when technology is available in their environment, and it has become part of their culture. In this paper, it is discussed how important is the use of technological means as part of teaching strategies, and a teachers guide is proposed to select suitable technology for specific didactic strategies based on students learning styles.
