The
onslaught of new technology in today's society has permitted the
creation of great expectations, which in certain environments have
generated frustration derived from the difficulty in finding an
authentic use for it.
In
the educational world and especially in primary and nursery levels there
have been additional problems caused by the difficulty in finding
reasons for the use of telematics and the additional headache of looking
for and understanding a mountain of information of often doubtful
quality and also the variety of versions on the same theme submitted by
different schools.
The
tale of Ona and the Robot introduces the idea of taking advantage of the
possibility of new technology to create a story with the collaboration
of the students, a story which at various intervals incorporates
different ideas and problems which encourages the student to
participate, think and find a solution. The challenges are varied and
related to the world of science and technology, the focus is ample and
encourages participation.
