Abstract
Globalization is shaping new societies, new kinds of communication, intensification of travels, pervasion of media, acceleration of information, at the same time as the news become outdated in few seconds. The rapidity of media exchanges is relentlessly dragging technology, like technology circularly increases the frequency and speed of news. The waves of information will change our attitude of thinking, even the brain mechanisms, forging a new social order. All this imposes new practices of teaching, in general, and in environmental, in particular, correlated to new procedures of teachers’ training. The new teachers should be instructed in technology, like they must instruct apprentices, to know the influence of the Web on identifying different appearances of society. There is a need of specialists, suitable for organizing the students, navigation into the ocean of information, at the same time, instructors must protect the youngest from the ultra-infiltration and dominance or pervasion of the Web. The educators’ job is progressively complicated, since education occurs yet more outside the school’s room in an amazing number of ways. The global world has open windows and open doors: everything (or almost) enters and everything goes out, creating opportunities, but also risks.
