I am a teacher of Drawing and Art History at a high school in the province of Naples. My school is an Institute with four different fields of study: High School, Language, Humanities and Art School. Since a couple of years my school devotes much attention to teaching and related training. It has also invested heavily on technology and its wise use. The school boasts an excellent TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION via SmartBoard present in all 44 classrooms, two laboratories ICT with 25 PCs each, and thanks to the presence of various interactive projectors all networked and connected with any type of device in use by students and professors (Lim touch screen, PC / laptops). The internet connection is pretty good, able to use either a cable connection is a wifi connection. However, despite the inclusion of new technologies yet many teachers are still afraid of new technology, but I think it is a problem that must be overcome and look to the future

1.  Why do I want to use the tablets?

Having the use of tablets at school and not just think it's the closest thing we have to a super-power especially when both have dell'aree interdisciplinary
work with which you can build your learning program. From the knowledge in this course and they bring it to the students I immediately found interest and
desire to do their part. Unfortunately not yet availability of tablets we have limited the use of laptops by creating paths of study on various art history
lessons, and found that even the weakest having a systematic and functional study failed to achieve satisfactory results .

Puntiare essentially to provide students with the skills
required in the XXI century:
• Collaborate
• Learn in an autonomous and responsible
• Learning to learn
• Problem solving skills
• Development of creativity

These skills are hard to gather if you distraught didactics transmissive. Conversely
an active learning and student-centered, which itself becomes the protagonist and
builder of his knowledge, is able to develop nell'alunno all the skills required
by the modern knowledge society and the modern world of work.

In the class we are using a notebook. Each student brings to the classroom their device portable PC that currently replaces the Tablet. Sometimes this choice creates a bit 'of alignment problems of software, but all in all is going well. Each classroom is wired and equipped with its own personal access point. The network is by far the most used tool thanks to the opportunities offered by such platforms edu google  classroom .

How do you judge the reactions of the students?

Excellent. We simply follow their learning styles and their ways of communicating. Technology is changing the school as well as the lives of people. Effects and results are not easily predictable, especially in terms of cognitive and learning of new knowledge.

In your opinion, what future awaits us?

Without a doubt, it goes on. What confuses me personally a little 'is the speed with which "evolve" in these new forms. The challenge is great. If the school will not be able to accept it, I'm afraid to lose its meaning. So I think we should quickly change the paradigm: from knowing the meaning of knowledge. And the technologies, without a doubt, are tools facilitators of the
process.
