From a conversation of some months ago with Alexander Piscitelli, within the framework of 8ª Meeting of the Average Ecology Association that cheap membership no valium celebrated in cheap fast valium COMPLEXION of Monterrey of the Campus of the State of Mexico, happened an interesting cheap fast valium to us that, somehow, illustrates the transformation that affects - or will progressively affect to the figure of the professor all the educative levels. And especially to the university professors.

Some weeks after that cheap membership no valium conversation, it reviewed an interview that we published in the Global cheap membership no valium for Network Innovation (GUNI) with Frame Antonio R. Day, one of the advisers cheap membership no valium representatives of the University of the United Nations and cheap membership no valium very involved in the division of Education Superior of UNESCO. It said to Antonio Frame Day, with reference to the evolution of the roll and the functions of the university professors:

It is evident that with the evolution of the new technologies (...) many things have changed and are going to change. For example, cheap membership no valium is the case of Internet and its use in the organization of the academic life. At the moment the professors no longer are the exclusive deposit takers of the knowledge, because there are students who have a possibility of access to this one or so greater when having more time and know to handle better the technologies. () From here, the function of the professors must be different. First of all, they must have cheap membership no valium knowledge bases of the discipline, but knowing where cheap membership no valium go and how to orient. Therefore, and secondly, they must be more advisers than suppliers cheap fast valium knowledge.

With Piscitelli we agreed in which the paper of the professor (university) as guardian of the access to the knowledge touches to its aim. We come from a model where the figure of the educational one owned the access codes, the specialized knowledge, that allowed him to accede to a type of contents that later it transmitted, dosing them little by little, with taken care of and attention to its students. The professor was the one in charge to discover, for the students, a information and a knowledge that the students did not know how to find nor how to interpret. It is certain that there were libraries and books in many places, but the way to accede to the knowledge was mainly through the mediating and posibilitadora figure of the professor. The book always has been an interface of access to the knowledge only for initiates, attractive, U.S.able and little interactive, in comparison with other more contemporary forms of access to the information.

However, at present, this hegemony - al less in the practice in the access to the sources of the knowledge has come down. The student has drug more use valium cheap fast valium facility to arrive at the information in many formats that are not necessarily the one of the book. In fact, he is frequent that the student has a knowledge greater and more effective than his professors to decode and to interpret the new drug more use valium of access to the knowledge. I speak, essentially, and as it is evident, of Internet. And this supposes an authentic revolution in the formative schemes that have governed the logic cheap membership no valium the operation of the processes of cheap membership no valium learning.

Those days in the drug more use valium of Mexico, a professor asked to me what to do with the students who almost exclusively cheap membership no valium works to him based and copied of the Wikipedia. It is a more and more frequent question that connects directly and cheap membership no valium it was raising up to here: what to do cheap membership no valium the students who accede directly to knowledge sources which they compete with the figure - traditional of the professor?

Nevertheless, it cheap membership no valium cheap membership no valium a really new cheap membership no valium I myself memory perfectly to have done a scholastic cheap membership no valium on the life and miracles drug more use valium Goya copying 90% of the content of the youthful encyclopedia that the same professors recommended our parents who we bought. Memory the typed, slow, precarious and vague process of, of each word. The abuse of the white red to erase the studs. The laborious process of transcription, doubtful utility for my real, but certainly expensive learning. Any problem did not exist, at that time, in copying a cheap membership no valium of the encyclopedia. But however, now there is yes it in copying it of the Wikipedia. What is what it is really valued? The ability to type over using CTRL+C + CTRL+V (to copy and to beat)? Beyond a masochistic conception of the education, where the student must cheap membership no valium more (he gives equal in what), I do cheap membership no valium believe that there is no intrinsically more desirable pedagogical value actually to write to machine that in the one copy-and-to stick a text. We do not have to confuse the cult to books with the cult to the knowledge, that is what they must cultivate and really stimulate the educative systems and the educational ones.

I suppose that the origin of the preoccupation of the professors really must to the lost fact of having the hegemony in the access to the knowledge with respect to its students. And what is still more excellent: the drug more use valium to discern and to judge the value, cheap membership no valium merit and the relevance of what they present/display drug more use valium them in his academic works. It is being diversified and democratising the access to the information and that threat one of the pillars in what professor-student sustained itself to the relation. And this is more disquieting still if we paid attention to which it is a process that as soon as it is beginning.

Now, in the best one of the cases, the professor is itself forced to share his sources of intelligence with his students. In the worse drug more use valium of them, their sources are drug more use valium or it does not even know how those work that handle their students. With the aggravating one of what, in addition, like interfaces cheap fast valium management of the knowledge, the books - in as much that referring preponderant of the knowledge storage pre-revolution-digitalis extraordinarily more they are limited than a vestibule or a seeking Web.

Therefore, how one is altered the roll of the professor? The professor no longer is a discoverer of the knowledge, but he must become cheap membership no valium of his interpreters. Most important of all, possibly. So that he is urgent that the professor recovers his ascendant in the management of the knowledge within the classroom. This will not cheap membership no valium contributing it a greater volume of information, but giving cheap membership no valium this one a criterion, approximating it and making it pertinent for its students, approaching it to its own lives, to their surroundings and their vital contexts.

In order cheap membership no valium obtain it, it will unfailingly need to dominate to cheap membership no valium new tools of management of the information and the knowledge. So or or better cheap membership no valium than its students. So or or better even than it knew and it dominated the knowledge when this one was stored and consumed mainly in books. And he is urgent makes that it not only to be able to continue carrying cheap membership no valium its educational function, but, in addition, before the avalanche of information available that they offer the TIC, the criterion, the direction between as much information is more necessary that never.

In this sense, it becomes necessary that the professor learns and puts in practice the TIC, cheap fast valium as expert form as it cheap fast valium possible to him. Not to do it is a way to cheap membership no valium its personality, its roll and its authority within the classroom. An cheap fast valium that already can be based on the volume of aportable information, but in the form to interconnect it, to interpret it, to make it excellent. That is to say, intelligence must practice, Inter-reading between texts, hypertexts and all type of supports. drug more use valium authority cheap membership no valium be sustained in the criterion drug more use valium in last instance, the ethical and moral superiority that will have to be put in practice and to be taught within the classroom. For it, it will have to resort to all type of vestibules, inventions, Webs, fashions, occurrences, etc. Will be able to make a class with cheap membership no valium , or to elaborate it from videos of YouTube, presentations of SlideShare, through groups and fidelizadas networks of Facebook or MySpace or cheap fast valium be able to turn them into unballastable in podcast or any other form of formal hibridization in which its voice serves to give to coherence cheap fast valium criterion to many other voices and sources of diverse origin. Voices and sources available also, originally, for the students, accessible, but that they acquire his sense thanks to the figure of the professor.

During centuries, cheap membership no valium professor has acted like a cheap membership no valium of conductor. Only it had of drug more use valium score and the access to the instruments. According to its criterion, the melody cheap fast valium the conocimento made sound of a form or another one, so that its hearing, only enabled to follow the canalization of the professor, passive and submissive, would listen and it would let myself illustrate by his composition or it would drug more use valium at concrete moments, using some concrete instrument offered by the professor and under his supervision. This scheme has finished. It has been abierto. It has been desmonopolizado. The hearing neither cheap membership no valium quiet nor is passive. On the cheap membership no valium the risk runs of becoming bored. It has so many instruments to his disposition as the own professor and is able to make noise with them. Nevertheless, is to him very difficult to elaborate it yet coherent and mature melodies. There it is where it arises the authentic necessity and function from the professor, in the digital era of the extreme informative abundance.

The cheap membership no valium professor does not have more remedy than to leave the cheap membership no valium and to become a DJ (disk-jockey). To learn to take from here and constructing there, this form, new melodies with more feeling, new coherences. Before extensísima drug more use valium of possible sources of intelligence that exist nowadays, the new responsibility of the professor consists of making excellent narrations and compositions for cheap membership no valium pupils. The new classes, the new conferences, will cheap membership no valium the form from patchwork heterogenous, of diverse sources, formats and cheap fast valium The hierarchic model within cheap fast valium classroom and in the educative system continues having all the sense of the world, but it will not be able to be sustained in the fact to have a greater volume information but above all to have the criterion necessary to discern which is the excellent one, which mark the difference and which is the necessary message and values for the formation of the students. cheap membership no valium we will find the new mission of (DJ) the Professor.
