The concepts of TIC, TAC and TEP presented in a conference held by Dolors Reig

We were invited to attend a university conference which was held by the Spanish social psychologist Dolors Reig in Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Santa Fe, Argentina. She is a well-known author in the fields of Social and Psychological media, 2.0 Education, Game-based learning, Sociology of the social networks, and the like. Among many things, she explained how the concept of TIC (Tecnologias de la Informacion y Comunicacion) has no longer meaning in the present world as the concept of TAC (Tecnologias del Aprendizaje y el Conocimiento) has established within the educational, social, and working environment. She highlighted the appropriate usage of both terms (TIC & TAC) in the educational context and how to take advantage of either one or the other. Last but not least, she included and developed in depth the acronym TEP (Tecnologias del Empoderamiento y Participacion) which being put in practice in all kinds of learning environments would be extremely effective and lead to a powerful growing learning. If you feel interested in these acronyms and its implementations in learning context, I strongly suggest you have a look at Dolor's website El Caparazon
