Razvoj sodobne izobraževalne tehnologije in uporaba različnih medijev pri pouku nam omogočata nove možnosti poučevanja in ne samo to, omogočata nam tudi sodobnejše in sprotne načine komuniciranja oziroma prenašanja informacij. Eden od medijev, ki jih uporabljamo pri pouku, je računalnik, saj v današnjem času predstavlja nepogrešljiv pripomoček pri poučevanju in komuniciranju z akterji, ki sodelujejo v učnem procesu, to so učitelj, učenci in njihovi starši.
V pričujočem prispevku je opisan način virtualne interakcije med učiteljem in starši učencev, ki jih poučuje. Podrobneje so opisane prednosti in slabosti učiteljevega komuniciranja s starši s pomočjo spletne učilnice, tj. načina enostranske komunikacije, ki počasi prehaja v dvostransko izmenjavo informacij med pomembnimi osebami, sodelujočimi pri formiranju celovite osebnosti otroka - učenca. Pri tem smo razmišljali o smiselnosti in uporabnosti take oblike komunikacije ter ciljih, ki jih s takim sporazumevanjem dosežemo. Navedli smo tudi nekaj primerov, s katerimi lahko učitelj učencu in njegovim staršem olajša iskanje oziroma pridobivanje ključnih informacij med šolanjem ter učenje s pomočjo računalnika oziroma programov na spletu.

Ključne besede: učitelj, starši, računalnik, spletna učilnica, sprotne informacije.

Abstract

The development of modern educational technologies and use of different media in education enables us new ways of teaching and not only that, allows us to transfer information with more modern and current methods of communication. One of the media that we use in the classroom is the computer which in our time represents an indispensable tool for teaching and communicating with the players taking part in the learning process between teacher, pupils and their parents.
This article describes virtual interaction between teachers and parents; the advantages and disadvantages of communication between a teacher and parents through an online classroom – a one-sided way of communication which slowly passes into the bilateral exchange of information between the relevant parties involved in the formation of an integrated personality of the child – the student. In this way, we think about the relevance and usefulness of such forms of communication. We stated a few cases that facilitate a teacher, pupils and their parents the search and obtaining of key information during the training and learning through computer programs or online.
