Elizabethan Life

The Elizabethan Age is viewed so highly because of the contrasts with the periods before and after. It was a brief period of largely internal peace between the English Reformation and the battles between Protestants and Catholics and the battles between parliament and the monarchy that engulfed the seventeenth century. The Protestant/Catholic divide was settled, for a time, by the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, and parliament was not yet strong enough to challenge royal absolutism. England was also well-off compared to the other nations of Europe. The Italian Renaissance had come to an end under the weight of foreign domination of the peninsula. France was embroiled in its own religious battles that would only be settled in 1598 with the Edict of Nantes. In part because of this, but also because the English had been expelled from their last outposts on the continent, the centuries long conflict between France and England was largely suspended for most of Elizabeth's reign.

The one great rival was Spain, with which England clashed both in Europe and the Americas in skirmishes that exploded into the Anglo-Spanish War of 1585–1604. An attempt by Philip II of Spain to invade England with the Spanish Armada in 1588 was famously defeated, but the tide of war turned against England with an unsuccessful expedition to Portugal and the Azores, the Drake-Norris Expedition of 1589. Thereafter Spain provided some support for Irish Catholics in a debilitating rebellion against English rule, and Spanish naval and land forces inflicted a series of reversals against English offensives. This drained both the English Exchequer and economy that had been so carefully restored under Elizabeth's prudent guidance. English commercial and territorial expansion would be limited until the signing of the Treaty of London the year following Elizabeth's death.

England during this period had a centralised, well-organised, and effective government, largely a result of the reforms of Henry VII and Henry VIII. Economically, the country began to benefit greatly from the new era of trans-Atlantic trade.

FUNCIONES DE LAS TIC EN EDUCACIÓN

La "sociedad de la información" en general y las nuevas tecnologías en particular inciden de manera significativa en todos los niveles del mundo educativo. Las nuevas generaciones van asimilando de manera natural esta nueva cultura que se va conformando y que para nosotros conlleva muchas veces importantes esfuerzos de formación, de adaptación y de "desaprender" muchas cosas que ahora "se hacen de otra forma" o que simplemente ya no sirven.

Precisamente para favorecer este proceso que se empieza a desarrollar desde los entornos educativos informales (familia, ocio…), la escuela debe integrar también la nueva cultura: alfabetización digital, fuente de información, instrumento de productividad para realizar trabajos, material didáctico, instrumento cognitivo.... Obviamente la escuela debe acercar a los estudiantes la cultura de hoy, no la cultura de ayer.

Las principales funcionalidades de las TIC en los centros están relacionadas con:

• Alfabetización digital de los estudiantes (y profesores... y familias...)

• Uso personal (profesores, alumnos...): acceso a la información, comunicación, gestión y proceso de datos...

• Gestión del centro: secretaría, biblioteca, gestión de la tutoría de alumnos...

• Uso didáctico para facilitar los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje

• Comunicación con las familias (a través de la web de centro...)

• Comunicación con el entorno

• Relación entre profesores de diversos centros (a través de redes y comunidades virtuales): compartir recursos y experiencias, pasar informaciones, preguntas.
