COICAUD, Silvia. Arguments and rethinking about Educational Technology as a field of knowledge and training. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2016, vol.26, n.1. ISSN 1515-9485.

Educational Technology is a discipline constantly productive evolving from fascinated by the media to be concerned about educational processes generated by incorporating ICT. In Argentina scenarios were developed from the use of computers in schools. The profiles changed according to pedagogical purposes, educational    policies    and    mass    access    to netbooks for students and teachers. From a Latin American perspective we wonder whether cyber utopias alone open new avenues of development. The socio-political and economic conditions lead to conceiving education as an unfinished and unending process. But it is important that educational institutions are open to an expanded education. In all these processes the    teachers    still    teach,    otherwise,    and increasingly     virtual     environments.     Teacher training in educational technology involves pedagogical-didactic approach, critical-reflective and creative-procedural dimensions, based on disciplinary epistemology, the socio-cognitive subject particularities, and being located at institutional and social context.

Keywords : Educational cyberculture; teacher training. Technology.
