URGENT PLUS 50 POINTS Read the article and then answer the following question:

A. New technologies, especially IT with the huge number of modern applications, has almost become synonymous with what we call development. Every country that looks forward to development (economic, technological, etc.) is literally "hooked" by new technologies: it has introduced them in Education, strengthens their research, finances their applications, promotes in every way everything related to with them, especially with PC technology. What may not have been more deeply realized, especially in Greece, is the importance of new technologies for a quality education that is the prerequisite for any form of development of a country.

B. The benefits that are expected for our Education, if properly implemented programs with appropriate educational software, are mainly the following: First, to be able to enter large libraries, foreign and Greek and to obtain the information needed, to study articles in magazines. In addition, use training programs with a combination of image - audio and text. With this technology the cultural or national lessons of a country's education system can be taught in new attractive, renewed and meaningful ways. Thus, by teaching the history of a period, you can, together with the information about the events and persons, present maps, paths, relations, parallel events of the history of neighboring countries, at the same time give information about literature, sciences, arts, tradition. , religion, the language of a people with image, with sound and of course with text.

C. Such programs can work in cultural courses, aesthetics courses and knowledge courses. But the most important thing is that with such programs, the School and in general the Education and the provided Education, can regain the interest that is needed to attract the love and the essential participation of the students. It is equally important that such programs can certainly be the starting point of a radical renewal of the educational system of Greece and its reopening on new bases.

D. With the introduction of new technologies in the School, the role of the teacher and the teacher in general changes completely. To date teacher and textbooks have been the main source of information. From now on, the teacher will have the additional role of choosing the appropriate programs, organizing their use in and out of the classroom, checking his / her students' evaluations, explaining difficult or difficult points, and generally at the same time to direct the learning with programs.
