Ambientes de Aprendizajes Mediados por TIC - Andrés Peláez

This is a very interesting article, specially when the author relates Vigotsky's social theory of learning and Ausubel's theory of meaninful learning to the applications of ICT's in the teaching and learning process. 
Ausubel stated that learners' motivation and attitude are key to learning meaningfully. According to the article, a learning environment must catch learners' attention, keep up their interest, and stir their curiosity. The use of ICT's can help reach this purpose. Another point made by Ausubel is that learning occurs when learners make connections between thier previously built knowledge and new concepts. ICT's stand for a proper semiotic mediation to help learners connect what they already know with what they expect to learn. In VIgotsky's theory, this mediation triggers the development of higher cognitive structures. Another profit  of ICT's is that they foster social interactions through the mediation of images and texts.
