Abstract

V originále

Changing the school's principal education parameters takes the necessary advent of modern technology （AI, big data), though it often prevents schools. We must abandon the idea that knowledge, learning, the ability to solve problems is a matter of the isolated individual, and we must attach knowledge to a dynamic structure of interactions. These interactions are not just an only human phenomenon; we must include all information agents, entities capable of information interactions and forming one mutual information space - the infosphere. The usual way to model the extended mind is to consider the cooperation between the individual and the paper notebook, which serves as his extended memory. These two entities can then be thought of as one cognitive system. However, we need a significantly more robust model ‒ a model that replaces a paper notebook with a smartphone with an Internet connection, which can use a large amount of available information, own analyses and other services, and a person who can be in touch through this device, with many other actors. It is precisely this newly grasped system of extended and distributed cognition, which will significantly influence how we will solve problems, communicate, cooperate. This paper aims to explore and describe this topic in terms of the impact on education, its importance, character, and the fundamental values emphasized in it. To show that technology is not just a passive tool in human hands, but an active element that co-creates our reality.
