Media Space – Attractive Out-of-School Environment for Adolescent Activity

Abstract

Reality generated by media encourages young generation to use information technologies freely, especially mobile technologies which are used by pupils almost all the time. Today the school is a place most remote from the real world. Unfortunately, the gap between what pupils do in and out of school is dramatically growing. The teacher must realize that without modern communication methods and information transfer that classes without access to Internet portals, thematic TV channels or expert blogs mean no future for young generations. Therefore teachers, instead of banning the use of these technologies, should think about their constructive implementation into didactics. In modern educational approach the teacher should assist their pupil in acquiring skills, facilitate the process and guide through more and more complicated, very often hypermedia, information structures.
