Technologies are part of our lives and therefore should be part of learning since a very early age, said in the morningbloc of Bulgaria On Air Assoc. Prof. Galina Momcheva, Head of the Department of Informatics and Economy at VFU" Chernorizets Hrabar ". She stressed that the technologies are not considered in terms of dependencies, but in the light of the opportunities. According to her, along with the study of the specific functions of a device, people must be trained how to use it in terms of time. In this regard, Assoc. Prof. Momcheva pointed out that it is very important to teach skills for time management in the context of the use of technology.
Assoc. Prof. Momcheva pointed out that at VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar" trainings, which include people from the practice, are increasingly developing. - "I wouldlike to distance myself from the cliché "universities are bad, companies - great." There are good universities and not so great companies," she said and called on the companies to make ratings of their specialists. - "For example, the experts should be assessed with what skills they contribute to the team of the company, for example," she said.
Regarding the place of the technologies in education, Assoc. Prof. Momcheva stressed that she mostly sees opportunities which could develop and enrich the media content. She also stressed that the proliferation of technology allows each owner to create content, which in turn is a challenge for the media. On the occasion of the technological facilities and equipment of the universities, Assoc. Momcheva commented that there are schools that fail to provide the necessary equipment for training. She also pointed out that another system using the personal devices of students within the university gains popularity.
The forecast of Assoc. Prof. Momcheva is that after several years, the communities of the media and education will increasingly be integrated and there will be even greater synergy. On October 5, 2015 Media Group Bulgaria ON AIR and Bloomberg Television organized an international conference on Education and Media.
