El mundo de las tecnologías ya forma parte de todos los ámbitos de la vida de las personas. Ante la continua actualización de las necesidades personales, surgen nuevas aplicaciones que hacen de la vida un entretenimiento y que, a su vez, desempeñan una labor fundamental en la metodología de aprendizaje de la educación actual. El presente estudio está compuesto por una muestra de 60 alumnos, 55.62% mujeres y el 44.38% hombres, de Educación Secundaria con una media de edad de M=14,97 años. A través del estudio estadístico no se obtienen diferencias significativas. Se aprecia como el uso de las apps para la práctica deportiva está muy extendido entre esta población.

Digital technologies play an important role in the development of visually-impaired children, who require early intervention to help sustain and improve their visual capacity throughout childhood, and also to stimulate their other senses so as to prevent any global development deficit. To this end, therapists, parents and teachers must be able to choose from a wide range of suitable, up-to-date resources that have been field tested and are well organized so that they can be located easily and rapidly as required. To respond to these needs, the authors have been involved in a research project, which has defined the key features of apps that make them suitable for use by and with visually-impaired children. Subsequently, the project developed an online environment that combines structured information from experts with the practical know-how of the user community in a joint effort to support the choice of the most suitable resources to use in different contexts and with different users.

The irruption of COVID-19 has led to a multitude of deep-seated transformations, which go beyond the purely sanitary sphere, leading to major socio-economic changes, among which the evolution of traditional forms of administrative intervention or the empowerment and/or acceleration of the advances derived from the digital (re)volution stand out for their extraordinary importance. Thereby, in recent months we have witnessed the implementation of numerous initiatives aimed to alleviate the harmful effects of the pandemic by developing technological tools based on processing categories of specially protected personal data, such as health data, which raises important questions from the perspective of privacy and digital rights. The aim of this study is to carry out a detailed analysis of some essential elements, necessary to achieve the difficult balance between the promotion of technological instruments that contribute to control the effects of COVID-19 increasing the resources available to health authorities, and safeguarding the fundamental right of personal data protection.

In today’s increasingly digital society, there has been a growing offer of digital applications (Apps) for the most diverse areas. With regard to older people, Apps have emerged that aim to improve their quality of life by providing conditions for a better aging process. In this regard, the aging process promotes increasing cognitive and motor limitations among the elderly, as a consequence of a global degeneration of aging. However, it has been the dementias that have caused the most concern given their increase in the elderly. In this sense, it is intended to present the results of a qualitative research in an exploratory study with 11 institutionalized elderly, with mild cognitive decline and moderate dementia, in an institution of the municipality of Castelo Branco, which used the“MemoryLife” Appsand “Attention games”aimed at promoting cognitive stimuli in order to minimize their limitations as a result of their Alzheimer’s-related losses. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with experts in technology, gerontology and dementia. The results of the ten practical sessions, held three times a week, showed that there was an improvement due to the direct and participative involvement of the elderly. These results were possible because the elderly had an active participation in the selection of the Apps used which enabled an easier and more systematic collaboration. On the other hand, it also refers to the importance of the institution in providing a collaborative environment that allowed to bring together synergies. Moreover, after content analysis, unanimity can be found in using digital resources that can have a positive action with elderly people with dementia. In sum, Apps had a positive action denoting a decrease in the dementia states of the elderly participants in the study, so it is advisable to use them more systematically to promote greater cognitive stimulation.

Learning and Knowledge Technologies (LKT) have an increasing influence on how to learn the learning of the youngest. The growth of the teaching and learning process. Learning in the field of education and learning, the creation of new effective tools, the help of science and training to improve the learning of our students. The challenge facing the psychology of education is based on the development of educational education. The increase in the visibility of the investigation. In this work, we present 9 applications (Apps) for tablet and smartphone, adapted to the different current operating systems, tools to work on the cognitive bases and the learning of early mathematics. In order to create an attractive tool for students from 4 to 7 years old, we have had the collaboration of the Babyradio entertainment and children’s Information Company, collaborating in graphic development and transfer of research results. Once demonstrated the empirical validity of these applications, the teachers, the educational system and the software companies available for a didactic support material contrasted. The main objective of the work is to contribute to the development of the mathematical skills of children from 4 to 7 years old so that they can successfully face the requirements of the school and to solve situations in their daily lives, promoting on the other hand, The change of attitude to students with respect to mathematics.

Ante el uso de la inteligencia artificial, el Big Data y el desarrollo de Apps en salud en situación de pandemia por COVID-19, se analizan las conse- cuencias que para la libertad y la intimidad tiene la tendencia a la mercantiliza- ción de datos personales y la “economía de la atención” promovida por las big tech; la amenaza que supone la “discriminación algorítmica” y la acumulación indiscriminada de datos. Se trata de cuestiones cuyo análisis filosófico-jurídico requiere indagar previamente sobre aspectos técnicos de especial complejidad para así construir una reflexión sólida acerca de las cuestiones bioéticas de las tecnologías emergentes

Este artigo brevemente apresenta a necessidade potencial de desenvolver uma extensão para os estudos de produção (intitulada aqui como estudos de software televisuais). Tal extensão engloba processos relacionados à gestão, integração e sincronização de desenvolvimento de software, que seriam executados por produtores de TV durante a produção dos programas televisivos para posterior fornecimento de companion apps pelas emissoras para sincronização de anúncios publicitários entre telas. É argumentado que, apesar de a alternativa complexificar a produção de TV, ela pode também minimizar o risco de que a distração da audiência durante suas materializações de experiências de múltiplas telas promova uma redução no patrocínio dos programas de TV.

El uso de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación es una realidad más que implantada en el día a día del ámbito educativo, del que, por fortuna, se benefician estudiantes con diversidad de necesidades. Así, resulta relevante indagar sobre los conocimientos de los docentes en materia tecnológica. Este estudio ofrece la validación de un cuestionario centrado en profundizar sobre el uso que hace el profesorado de diferentes tecnologías para alumnado con Diversidad Funcional y, más concretamente, para aquel con Autismo. Haciendo uso del método de juicio de expertos, seis jueces han otorgado puntuaciones sobresalientes a cada uno de los ítems que presentaba el instrumento, ofreciendo una Correlación Intraclases excelente, una concordancia inter-jueces con el W de Kendall significativa, una fiabilidad muy elevada y unos resultados destacables derivados del Análisis Factorial Exploratorio.

Reading is still an open issue for the Italian educational system (and not only for the Italian one). The reasons are concerning both its learning processes and the educational emergency phenomenon of non-readers. The increasing diffusion of ICT is acting as an engine to face this issue both in school and in other educational agencies. In fact, ICT are activating evidence-based procedures and strategies which are effective and easy to be used. In particular, the recent development of mobile has opened the way for using Application (App) for teaching, with awesome results. In the present paper, the authors propose a literature review that aims to highlight two important aspects. Firstly, the clarification of the problem and secondly, the individuation of the most advantageous Apps in order to promote the literacy even from an inclusive perspective. Le App come strumenti per l’apprendimento della letto-scrittura. Una rassegna Quella della lettura continua a essere una questione aperta per il sistema formativo italiano (e non solo), sia per quel che concerne i processi di apprendimento che la sottendono sia per quel che riguarda l’emergenza educativa inerente il fenomeno dei “non lettori”. La crescente diffusione delle TIC sta agendo come propulsore per affrontare a scuola come nelle altre agenzie educative questo problema, attivando procedure e strategie che risultano efficaci (sul piano dell’evidenza scientifica) e di semplice adozione. In modo particolare il recente sviluppo del mobile ha aperto la strada all’utilizzo di Applicazioni (App) nella didattica, con risultati a dir poco sorprendenti. Nel presente contributo gli autori propongono una rassegna della letteratura finalizzata a mettere in evidenza da un lato i termini del problema e dell’altro quali App sono oggi ritenute maggiormente vantaggiose per favorire l’apprendimento della letto-scrittura anche in ottica inclusiva.

Questa breve rassegna è dedicata all'iPhone e all'iPad, quest'ultimo in commercio in Italia da pochi mesi. La vera novità di questi dispositivi sono le Apps, una via di mezzo tra un software tradizionale e un semplice link a un sito web: hanno il loro punto di forza nella velocità di esecuzione -in tutto qualche secondo, con un unico click/tocco- e nella semplicità di scaricamento, installazione o disinstallazione. Le Apps sono rapidamente raggiungibili con un tocco dall'apposita icona. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
