Yes, this is a very important issue. The issue of communication with the use of new online media is very important in the context of an efficiently run education process.
We are currently communicating widely across various online media, including via email. Some of the email mailboxes we use have anti-spam restrictions, which makes communication difficult. The development of communication through various online media, also through social media portals is an important issue in education. New media should be effectively used in the education process, but not always their technical specification is fully suitable for the needs of communication development in the context of the ongoing education process. However, as far as possible, new online media should be used in education, because young people use them widely and can be an excellent additional tool in the field of teaching instruments, eg for the purpose of efficiently searching for the necessary, current information.
In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Should new internet media be used in educational processes?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

yes in fact we must use them to have better co working and it can help us to develop science so faster.
One of the main tasks of the media is to transmit the messages to the recipients. Therefore, their use must be consistent with the purpose of communication and the needs of the recipients, as well as with the possibility of feedback. New media can and are successfully applied in the education process, on the one hand, because they provide interactivity, and on the other side consumers are mostly in the age group of the so-called digital natives, and they fully meet their requirements. My experience as a lecturer, actively using the new media in the learning process, proves their substantial benefit in the matter.
We wrote a editorial on the use of Twitter by healthcare workers. "Why should healthcare workers consider using Twitter?" see online at https://www.fmlm.ac.uk/news-opinion/why-should-healthcare-workers-consider-using-twitter
Yes, this is what we are advocating. Use of morden technology in education especially by administrators. In todays world, communication should be prompt and accurate.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,
The above discussion inspired me to formulate the following question:
Does technology help or hinder the education of children?
Based on the above considerations and conclusions from the discussion on interesting issues discussed, I formulated the following thesis that technology can increasingly influence the processes of upbringing and education of children and adolescents, however, to determine and resolve the issue: Does technology help or interfere in raising children? - many technological, social and other determinants shaping the upbringing and education of children and youth should be considered and explored.
Below I have described the key determinants confirming the formulated research thesis. To the above discussion I would like to add the following conclusion formulated as a summary of my previous considerations on this topic: Impact of technological development, ICT, internet technologies and advanced data processing technologies i.e. the current fourth technological revolution referred to as Industry 4.0 on the processes of upbringing and education of children and youth .
Currently, the Internet is the basic information medium and smartphones are the basic gadget for access to the Internet and various information services. The Internet and smartphones are symbols of the first phase of the currently developing fourth technological revolution known as Industry 4.0. The current technological revolution referred to as Industry 4.0 is determined by the development of the following advanced information processing technologies: Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence and other advanced technologies, Data Mining and other advanced processing technologies information. The technologies of advanced information processing listed above will be increasingly used and developed in applications related to various internet services and made available from the level of the Internet of Things devices and on smartphones. In recent years, there are more and more applications of ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0 information technologies in education processes.
In my opinion, ICT information technologies and new media internet technologies, Industry 4.0 advanced data processing technologies, which are increasingly being implemented into educational processes and may also have a negative impact on pedagogical processes in schools. I also believe that the implementation of ICT information technologies, new media internet technologies, including social media portals and advanced data processing technology Industry 4.0 into educational processes can have a negative impact on the classical theory of children's mental development. Because in young children and adolescents, the process of adopting new concepts (thought process) in pre-school institutes extends from the perception of the senses (sight, hearing, touch), speech and direct manipulation of real objects (teaching resources), to create abstract concepts is the use of new information technologies ICT, Internet technologies and Industry 4.0 should be done under the full control of educators.
Because in young children, this child must first "see the object in his head", he first had to "see it and touch with his hand" to learn, so devoting a significant amount of time to viewing various graphic and film spots, advertising on social media sites by children can cause negative effects in the psyche and in the psychosomatic development of a child. Therefore, information and communication technologies cannot replace every form and method of learning in the educational process of young children and adolescents. Of course, full implementation of ICT information technologies and new media internet technologies cannot be excluded including social media portals and advanced data processing technology Industry 4.0 for teaching processes in schools. This process is already taking place. However, it is necessary to take this process under the full control of educators, teachers and parents of children. There are already many disturbing information from the media and from ongoing research on the effects of using new media internet technologies, including social media portals by children and young people.
Children and teenagers mainly browse social media on smartphones. Many children spend too much time browsing social media on smartphones. The result is a reduction in the time spent on physical and sport activities, on learning, book readership decreases and the scale of diagnosed vision defects in adolescents in recent years. In this way, many problems arise that can affect the reduction of educational opportunities for children and adolescents. these problems should be solved systemically at all levels of the education system, i.e. from ministries of education to individual schools. Students and parents should be made aware of emerging threats through social campaigns in various media. Research shows that the process of implementing ICT information technologies, new media internet technologies, including social media portals and advanced data processing technologies, Industry 4.0 for teaching processes in schools has already begun. Of course, the use of ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0 technologies in education processes does not only generate negative aspects. Therefore, the central institutions of the education system should coordinate the development of these processes in such a way as to maximize the positive aspects of the implementation of ICT information technologies, new media internet technologies, including social media portals and advanced industry 4.0 data processing technology for teaching processes in schools. However, one should not forget about these negative aspects, about already diagnosed developing problems, which should be solved and educating teachers, students and parents about potential threats.
Activation for critical thinking of students is a particularly important determinant of effective education. Modern education instruments are important in this matter, thanks to which analytical techniques, brainstorming, debates, discussions, etc. used in the education process of pupils and students are developed. These techniques should also develop creativity, innovation and teamwork. In my opinion, activation of critical thinking of students and pupils, development of discussion skills in debates, development of creativity, innovation and teamwork of pupils and students correlates perfectly with the development of the concept of modern education 4.0. Currently, in the era of the technological revolution referred to as industry 4.0, new teaching concepts called education 4.0 are emerging.
On the other hand, dynamic development of social media portals on the Internet is currently underway. For young people using smartphones, social media portals are one of the main sources of information. Probably the next stage in the development of social media portals will be the implementation of artificial intelligence into these portals and into search engines and creating applications such as interactive advisers on individual information websites. Social media portals are at some stages of education, in some education systems they are used to educate students on specific issues and according to the age of the students. But do they really help in the education process or are they just another teaching aid without a significant impact on the learning outcomes? Pupils and students use social media portals to exchange information useful for education. In addition, on Facebook, pupils and students create group profiles where they post joint didactic materials. In addition, they create survey forms for the needs of surveys, the results of which are used for written theses and final essays.
In connection with the above, another key question arises: Should new internet media be used in education processes? In my opinion, yes, new online media should be used in education processes. The issue of communication with the use of new online media is very important in the context of an effectively conducted education process. We currently communicate widely through various online media, including email. Some email inboxes that we use have anti-spam restrictions, which makes communication difficult. The development of communication through various internet media, also through social media portals, is an important issue in education. New media should be used effectively in the education process, but their technical specifications are not always fully relevant to the needs of communication development in the context of the education process being implemented. However, whenever possible, new online media should be used in education, because young people commonly use them and can be an excellent additional tool in the field of teaching instruments, e.g. for the effective search of necessary, current information.
If children or young people use smartphones to learn, as a tool supporting the processes of education, communication with peers from school and friends, and if they use new online media devices from time to time, this may not be assessed positively. However, if it divides or teenagers use smartphones many hours a day, among others, browsing advertisements on social media portals and worthless memes and films, then it can have a destructive impact on the intellectual and psychological development of children and youth. In this situation, the use of smartphones by children and youth should be limited and controlled by parents, guardians and teachers. Also research results show that the use of smartphones by children and young people should be subject to parental control. The need for this control results from the growing number of different information services available on smartphones, the growing number of children and adolescents dependent on the use of smartphones, the increase in the number of cases of neglecting school duties, the increase in the percentage of children diagnosed with vision defects caused by too long browsing of content posted on the Internet and read on a smartphone etc. In my opinion, the problem of addiction of young people to smartphones is growing in many countries. A very negative effect is the rapidly growing number of road accidents caused by the fact that while driving a car, motorbike, bicycle drivers use smartphones and more and more pedestrians fall under the car entering the road while viewing messages on smartphones. Therefore, in some countries more restrictive legal regulations are introduced, including, first of all, a ban on entering the road while looking at the smartphone. In addition, special lighting systems are installed in the pavements to inform about changing lights at pedestrian crossings on the roadways. In this respect, the educational role of parents and teachers in schools is also crucial in considering the impact of many hours of using smartphones by children on children's development.
Children's use of social media portals may be associated with the acquisition of supplementary knowledge relative to knowledge obtained during school education, but may also be associated with various threats. the biggest threats are the risk of browsing and reading messages, posts, memes, photos and videos that are not intended for children because of specific content dedicated to adults or because of very low substantive level, low level of culture created and published on social media portals content. On some social media sites, you can set restrictions on the display of specific posts and profiles. Currently, probably the biggest problem in this matter is with YouTube, in a situation when children start watching nice children's stories but after a while they quickly switch to completely different movies, not necessarily dedicated to children. Linking related topics in the form of specific videos on YouTube is a serious problem when children use YouTube. How to solve this problem? How do you resolve the problem of linking and viewing YouTube videos that are inappropriate for children but viewed by children?
If the use of laptops, tablets, smartphones, smartwatches, etc. during a lesson at school is not a teaching instrument, it is not part of the educational process, it should be prohibited during the lesson to use these devices. Using laptops, tablets, smartphones, smartwatches and other mobile devices enabling browsing the Internet resources during the lesson may interfere with students' active participation in the lesson and the teacher may be distracted in conducting the lesson. On the other hand, during some lessons it may be for a certain period of time, in certain situations of searching for information on the Internet, the teacher may allow the use of these devices if laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc. would act as didactic instruments enabling finding the necessary information.
Another issue of the applicability of ICT and Internet information technologies, the Internet of Things in education processes concerns the use of glasses for virtual reality and augmented reality as teaching instruments used in education processes. During some lessons, it may be for a certain period of time, in certain situations of didactic games or presentation of specific processes and lesson topics, the teacher may allow the use of devices such as glasses for virtual reality and augmented reality. In addition, the teacher may also include other mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc. in the education process. In specific situations, these devices would play the role of teaching instruments to support the teaching processes conducted by the teacher.
Also computer games are increasingly used as a teaching instrument. However, not all types of games, only those games that are developed as educational games, simulators of specific events and processes and others that do not inspire students to negative activity, when without content and graphics that inspire violence, negative social attitudes. Games used in educational processes should be specially produced for this purpose and during the production of their content and graphics should be consulted with educators and curricula in schools and colleges. Games produced in this way should be a good additional education instrument and can be used in educational processes in schools and colleges.
Earlier, the evolution of mobile devices was as follows: Laptops, palmtops, notebooks, tablets, smartphones, smatwatches, ... and what next? Currently, smartphones dominate in use. In addition, some Internet users also use tablets and smatwatches. Google glasses with Internet access a few years ago were to be an innovative hit that would revolutionize the mobile Internet, but they did not get adopted on a larger scale. Perhaps no significant demand has arisen for this type of device yet. Perhaps this will change in the future. Perhaps the era of this type of mobile devices will appear in the future when the next generations of compatible devices will appear and 5G Internet will become more widespread.
Unfortunately, there is such a threat that due to the development of artificial intelligence, e-learning, learning machines, the Internet of Things, etc., technology may replace the teacher in the future. However, this will not happen over the next few years, but this scenario cannot be ruled out over the next few decades. In addition, the work of a teacher is a creative, socially educational, etc. It is currently accepted that artificial intelligence will not be able to completely replace a man-teacher, because it is currently accepted that it is impossible to teach the machine of artistry, social sensitivity, emotional intelligence, empathy, etc.
Improving education processes and implementing modern information technologies Industry 4.0 is necessary in the context of the development of modern education 4.0.
The current technological revolution referred to as Industry 4.0 is determined by the development of the following advanced information processing technologies: Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence and other advanced technologies of Data Mining. Some of these new information technologies are already being used in education 4.0. In addition, the issues of charisma, high moral standards and other positive personal qualities of the teacher are important in the context of well-implemented education processes. Therefore, it is important to transfer knowledge to pupils in an objective and interesting way in such a way as to interest pupils and students in specific key issues in specific subjects and issues.
Modern educational processes should activate pupils and students to a creative approach in solving tasks, they should activate to work in a group, to improve the skills of effective search for necessary information from various knowledge resources, to improve the skills of active participation in discussions, debates, brainstorming, etc., to activate entrepreneurship and create innovative solutions as part of individual and / or team projects implemented during the teaching processes. Of course, the role of the teacher in the educational process is very important. Without a good teacher, characterized by charisma, high moral standards and other positive personal traits, even the most modern teaching instruments will not provide good education. The teacher's role is crucial. The teacher should be a good guide, mentor and objective advisor for his pupils, for his pupils and students. The teacher should be respected by his students and should be appreciated for his professionalism in the good implementation of teaching processes.
According to the above, in my opinion, technology can increasingly influence the processes of bringing up children and youth.

These days delivering lectures should ideally be done using a mixture of methods: old fashioned chalk board, PPT overheads, videos and Internet. I have found this flexible format most useful to my students.
Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG, Do you agree with my thesis that: In recent months, due to the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, the processes of implementing new online media into education systems have accelerated.
What do you think about it?
Thank you very much and best regards,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Dear Dariusz Prokopowicz the new internet media must be used in educational processes, specially, in the context of the COVID-19. It is a way to teach to different kinds of audience and to disseminate your work in distinct location, promoting a multicultural perspective of knowledge that cannot be reach without this resource. Kind regards, Ernani
Dear Ernani Contipelli, Yes you are right. Online remote work via the Internet and e-learning education is very helpful in the situation of the introduced lockdowns and home quarantine during the current SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic.
Best regards,
