Changing Education Paradigms Public education still lives in a 19th century conception, where it is supposed that a degree has more value and it guarantees a job. This misconception carries certain ways of thinking such as the academic goes beyond the non-academic. If we maximize this concept, non-academic skills like art are considered not brilliant. This has to be with education in which kids cannot express themselves, they have to follow, learn and act anaestheticly, this means that they have been taking themselves off to what it is happening. It is what education needs to transform, we need our kids active, fully alive, so that, they would be connected in class giving and generating ideas, taking the best ideas from them and not hidden them, to do so, there is a need to create a divergent thinking on them. Another issue is that technology has been squander because sometimes teachers do not know enough to help students how to use technology, to change this, it is the teachers duty to be prepared. Another case is when the teacher finishes using types of applications that students get easily bored or they do not know or want to use. This would be a good opportunity to know students likes or to listen to some suggestions, bringing the aesthetic experiences into the classroom. In fact a change on the curriculum and a solid evaluation system should be implemented, but by technologys hand, which could help us organize and transform school into a new education system, so that, students can take advantage of their access to technology and with a new divergent thinking that help them response, interpret, think and see multiple answers to a question.
