Digital school in San Luis

Abstract

The present work is comprised of three parts; in the first instance we analyze the foundations of the Government Bill Digital Public School of San Luis province, based on a book of the UNESCO on TIC's, in which the author, his collaborators and coordinatorbuild a univocal and unique vision at the end of each title and subtitle from an "extensive", "diverse", "multiperspective", "democratic",even "critical" standpoint,that convinces that the TIC are not only indispensable but they will also savethe world of the excesses of capitalism. Secondly, we analyze the articles whose content specifies the creation of a new educational system called Digital Public School, parallel to the formal one, whichgives the Executive Power the authority to regulatepedagogical projects, syllabuses and methodologies. The use of words proper of neoliberal educational policiesis recurrent in the project, suchas "excellence", "quality", "personalization" among others; therefore laying emphasis on the learning and on the utilization of the TIC' s as a cross-curricular tool to access the contents included in different educational software; thusproposing the teacher as a learning facilitator. Finally, we put forward deep questions that encourage a revision of the subject matter, and a thesis that asserts that the TIC's are the current instrument to support capitalism and its power relations.
