Summary:
Education is an important asset, with which we walk throughout the course of our lives. Offered by home, school and community. Adds skills, rules, knowledge and experiences to the human personality, from childhood to old age. It is a process that continues until the thread of life is cut.
The education of juveniles differs from that of adults, mainly in terms of motivation, experiences and opinions. In each category, it is possible that the educational tools that bring results are different, as is the whole learning process.
Referring to the planned education from the school, the university or some other institution, the educators have the duty to share their knowledge with the students, to show them the way of knowledge, learning and exploration. They are constantly looking for new training techniques and methods that will attract anyone interested.
In the area of adult education the goal of educators remains the sharing of knowledge through discussion, expression of views, commentary on experiences, but also the use of interactive teaching methods. An important role in this continuous effort is called to play the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which is characterized by increasing development and continuous influence of our daily lives.
