Teaching became more interactive. With
teachers and learners increasingly engaged
with interactive resources in the classroom,
the use of technology inside the classroom
has helped teachers provide differentiated
activities for learners of all abilities.

At the end of the presentation you will be able to:
Identify some concepts in information and
communications technology
Explain key concepts of the global dimension in education
Appreciate the use of technology as aid in instruction

Some Concepts in Information and Communications Technology

MOBILE LEARNING (m-learning)
New advances in hardware and software are making mobile
“smart phones” indispensible tools
 Cell phones have leapfrogged fixed line technology in the
telecommunications industry
 mobile devices with internet access and computing capabilities
will soon overtake personal computers as the information
appliance of choice in the classroom.

MOBILE LEARNING (m-learning)
Using portable computing devices (such as iPads, laptops, tablet
PCs, PDAs, and smart phones) with wireless networks enables
mobility and mobile learning, allowing teaching and learning to
extend to spaces beyond the traditional classroom. Within the
classroom, mobile learning gives instructors and learners
increased flexibility and new opportunities for interaction.

5


CLOUD COMPUTING
Applications are increasingly moving off the stand
alone desktop computers and increasingly onto server
farms accessible through the internet. The implications
of this trend for education systems are huge; they will
make cheaper information appliances available which
do not require the processing power of size of the pc.
The challenge will be providing the ubiquitous
connectivity to access information sitting in the cloud.

ONE TO ONE COMPUTING
The trend in classrooms around the world is to provide an
information appliance to every learner and create learning
environments that assume universal access to technology.
Whether the hardware involved is one laptop per child (OLPC),or
– increasingly- a net computer, smart phone, or the emergence
of the tablet, classrooms should prepare for the universal
availability of personal learning devices

UBIQUITOUS LEARNING
With the emergence of increasingly robust connectivity
infrastructure and cheaper computers, school systems around
the world are developing the ability to provide learning
opportunities to students “anytime, anywhere”.
In addition to hardware and internet access, it requires the
availability of virtual mentors or teachers, and/or
opportunities for peer to peer and self-paced ,deeper learning.
10


UBIQUITOUS LEARNING
Embeds many kinds of computer technologies under the history; mainframe in
1960s, LAN and workstation in 1970s, PC and the Internet in 1980s, and WWW in
1990s, providing a human with information services and applications through any
device over different kinds of networks.
Ubiquitous network can be seen as a prerequisite for pervasive computing
and network that emphasizes mobile data access and the mechanisms needed
for supporting a community of nomadic users. The goal of ubiquitous world is to
trigger a set of requirements; interoperability, adaptability and mobility, for
ubiquitous network technologies.
11


GAMING
A recent survey by the per internet and American Life Project per the
Horizon Report found that massively multiplayer and other online game
experience is extremely common among young people and that games
offer an opportunity for increased social interaction and civic
engagement among youth. The phenomenal success of games with a
focus on active participation, built in incentives and interaction
suggests that current educational methods are not falling short and
that educational games could more effectively attract the interest and
attention of the learners.
13


GAMING
"Online gaming is a technology rather than a genre, a mechanism for
connecting players together rather than a particular pattern of gameplay."
played over some form of computer, typically on the Internet
 has the ability to connect to multiplayer games, although singleplayer online games are quite common as well
a great percentage of games don’t require payment
 wide variety of games for all type of game players are available

14


PERSONALIZED LEARNING
Education systems are increasingly investigating the use of
technology to better understand a student’s knowledge base
from prior learning and to tailor teaching to both address
learning gaps as well as learning styles.
This focus transforms a classroom from one that teachers
to the middle to one that adjust content and pedagogy based on
the individual students needs – both strong and weak.
15


REDEFINITION OF THE LEARNING PROCESS
The ordered classroom of 30 desks in a row of 5 may
quickly become a relic of the industrial age as schools around
the world are rethinking the most appropriate learning
environments to foster collaborative, cross disciplinary,
students-centered learning.
Concepts such as greater use of light, colors,circular
tables, individual spaces for students and teachers and
smaller open learning spaces for project-based learning are
increasingly emphasized.
. 16


TEACHER-GENERATED OPEN CONTENT
OECD school system are increasingly empowering teachers and networks
of teachers to both identify and create the learning resources and they find
the most effective in the classroom.
 Many online text allow teachers to edit, add to, or otherwise customize
material for their own purposes, so that their students receive a tailored
copy that exactly suits the style and pace of the course.
Resources complement the official textbook and may, in the years to
come, supplant the textbook as the primary learning source for the
students.
17


SMART PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT
The collection,management,sorting,and retrieving of data related to
learning will help teachers to better understand learning gaps and
customize content and pedagogical approaches.
Also, assessment is increasingly moving toward frequent formative
assessments which lend itself to real-time data and less on high pressure
exams as the mark of excellence.
 Tools are increasingly available to students to gather their work
together in a kind of online portfolio; wherever they add a
tweet,blog,post,or photo to any online.
18


TEACHER MANAGERS/MENTORS
The role of the teacher in the classroom is being transformed from that
of the font of knowledge to an instructional manager helping to guide
students through individualized learning pathways, identifying relevant
learning resources, creating collaborative learning opportunities and
providing insight and support both during formal class time and outside of
the designated 40 minute instruction period.
This shift is easier said than done and ultimately, the success or failure of
technology projects in the classroom hinge on the human factor and the
willingness of a teacher to step into unchartered territory.
