A recent study carried out jointly by Finnish, Swiss and Belgian experts, allows you to better understand what the role of the teacher in the high-tech world. Some devices though, and is designed to study was not only useful but also very interesting. For the younger generation tablet attractive paper book. It is a fact that we can only accept.





The teacher ceases to be the direct "provider of knowledge". Its main task will be to coordinate the educational process and collaboration with students solutions to the problems that arise in its course. On the resource page ScienceDaily also noted that high technologies offer new training opportunities. Professor Finnish Institute for studies in education Raya hämäläinen notes the importance that has acquired mobile devices:

It turns out that video games can be not only interesting and exciting, but also useful. As soon as the younger generation got used to them, then why not use them as a way of gaining new knowledge? It only needs appropriate learning games that will be interesting for students. Technology is constantly changing the educational sphere. This process is constant, but now, with the mass proliferation of handheld computers, it has accelerated. But the teacher is still needed. Because it depends on him, will touch screens to educate the future mathematicians or their use and will be limited to games, social networking and aimless wandering in web space.
