The use of smartphones’ photography in the classroom and in the internet

Abstract

The Our discussion in this paper is based in some suggestions related to some results of the use of new technologies of information in class-rooms, especially the use of digital photography made by students with smartphones. We start our suggestions based in the hypothesis that an important part of the teaching network, has not realized yet, that it is possible to help children, teenagers and young adults do deal with the new technologies of information, even though some of our students seem, sometimes, more skillful, than us, the teachers, in the use of some of the gadgets that allows to access internet. We defend that the participation of the teachers is something necessary and essential, especially in the orientation of the ethical aspects of the use of photography in the classroom.
