Abstract
The technological evolution of the last decades is characterized by the creation and the widespread use of digital languages as well as the development of the Internet . All this has entailed a radical change in the way of organizing and communicating knowledge. These changes , in turn, have introduced inevitable consequences in the educational process, especially in the teaching/ learning processes practiced in schools. Is therefore essential that media education becomes a fundamental aspect of school curricula ,so as to enable students to become proficient critical, creative and effective users of productive ICT tools, as well as informed, responsible and contributing citizens. Since teachers are responsible for helping students to develop these skills, it is imperative that all teachers be adequately trained to provide their students with these competencies. Standard and resources within the UNESCO project ICT Competency Standards for teachers ( ICT-CST) provided specific guidelines for planning teacher education programs. Italy has mainly organized courses for the European Computer Driving Licence. However, today’s in-service and pre-service teachers need to be prepared to use ICT and know how that technology can support student learning and empower students with the advantages it can provide.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
