TEACHING AND LEARNING WITH ICT TOOLS: ISSUES AND CHALLENGESIJCI JOURNAL
The students nowadays are more friendly with tech devices. So, to make it less boring need to start
innovative ways that involve technology. Teaching via ICT tools have the potential to make a change in the
academic sector. It is a dynamic learning method. It provides more benefits as compared to the traditional
blackboard and chalks learning. The whole process of education can sometimes feel tedious for students. In
this digital era, ICT use in the classroom is important for giving students opportunities to learn and apply
the required 21st century skills. Hence studying the issues and challenges related to ICT use in teaching
and learning can assist teachers in overcoming the obstacles and become successful technology users. With
the advent of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in education, teachers form their own
beliefs about the role of ICT as a teaching tool, the value of ICT for student learning outcomes and their
own personal confidence and competency. Barriers exist in integrating ICT in teaching and learning. The
barriers are extrinsic to the teacher and include lack of resources, time, access and technical support.

The Plan articulates a vision of equity, active use, and collaborative leadership to make everywhere, all-the-time learning possible. While acknowledging the continuing need to provide greater equity of access to technology itself, the plan goes further to call upon all involved in American education to ensure equity of access to transformational learning experiences enabled by technology. The principles and examples provided in this document align to the Activities to Support the Effective Use of Technology (Title IV A) of Every Student Succeeds Act as authorized by Congress in December 2015.
In order to keep pace with the changes we are seeing in schools, districts, and states on an almost daily basis, we are updating the NETP more often. Feedback from our stakeholders indicates that the previous five year update cycle was not frequent enough. In response, with this 2017 update, we commence a pattern of yearly, smaller scale updates to the NETP.
Unlocking digital literacy practices of EFL teachersEkoPurwanti1
Digital literacy practice is necessary for education since information and communication technology has developed rapidly, resulting in shifting to the era of digital technology. The digital literacy practices in school and especially in classrooms are required for preparing 21st-century students. This study aims to (1) determine teachers’ perceptions of digital literacy practices in the level of classroom and school, (2) point out the digital literacy practices of English Foreign Language (EFL) teachers, and (3) investigate the challenges faced by the EFL teachers in applying digital literacy practices in the classroom. This study revealed the digital literacy practices of thirteen EFL Teachers in Yogyakarta using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The results uncovered that digital literacy was highly supported, evidenced by the facility, equipment, and the connectivity provided in all schools with a variety of free internet access. In the classroom level, these teachers practised digital literacy by using some digital tools. In implementing digital literacy, the teachers faced some challenges, such as defective equipment and Internet access and intrinsic factors such as teachers’ knowledge in technology, their attitudes toward digital technology, and students’ commitment to apply digital literacy. These findings are followed by recommendations for schools, teachers, and further research.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. WHY USE ICT’s?
Engages students
Aids student retention of knowledge
Motivates interest in the subject matter
Illustrates the relevance of many
concepts.

5. USES OF ICT IN SCHOOLS
• Development of a broad set of information literacy and related
skills.
• Using the Internet to gather information for research and projects,
and for educator resources and learning support materials;
• Using specialist educational software for specific curriculum
objectives;
• Using basic ICT applications to enhance teaching and learning,
developing computer literacy skills in the process;
• Facilitating communication to support a range of communication
strategies amongst educators and learners across the globe and
within the school;
• ICT-related learning areas, such as Information Technology or
similar subjects.
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /

6. CLASSROOM IMPACT OF ICT
Some of the most important conclusions from recent studies on
benefits of technology for education will show that:
• Learners provided with technology-rich learning environments
continue to perform well on standardized tests and develop a
variety of competencies not usually measured which include:
– increased social awareness and self confidence
– increased capacity to communicate effectively about complex
processes
– more independent learning
– increase self-initiative
– spontaneous sharing of ideas
– higher quality assignments
– higher attendance
– improved writing skills
– improved higher order thinking skills.
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
7. • The use of the Internet as an educational tool when
integrated into curriculum is extending learning
opportunities for learners by increasing skills in conducting
independent research, interpersonal communications,
written expression, and motivation while significantly
extending learning beyond the walls of the classroom.
• Online learning improves student achievement at least as
much as traditional methods of instruction while expanding
student access to high quality instruction previously
unavailable to rural schools.
• Telecommunications serves as an effective bridge between
teachers and learners that can facilitate their
communications and it is the actions of educators, and not
the technology, that will initiate and sustain desired
educational change

8. ENHANCING HOW CHILDREN LEARN
• A major scientific accomplishment of the twentieth
century has been the great advancements in understanding
cognition — that is, the mental processes of thinking,
perceiving, and remembering. For example, cognitive
research has shown that learning is most effective when
four fundamental characteristics are present:
(1) active engagement,
(2) participation in groups,
(3) frequent interaction and feedback, and
(4) connections to realworld contexts.
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
9. • Interestingly, some of the pioneers in learning
research also have been pioneers in exploring
how technologies can improve learning. These
connections are not coincidental. As scientists
have understood more about the fundamental
characteristics of learning, they have realized that
the structure and resources of traditional
classrooms often provide quite poor support for
learning, whereas technology—when used
effectively —can enable ways of teaching that are
much better matched to how children learn.

10. THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER IN THE
USE OF ICT
With the inevitable proliferation of ICT in the classroom, the role of the
teacher must change, and here are four key reasons why this must
happen:
• Firstly, the role of the teacher must change because ICT will cause
certain teaching resources to become obsolete. For example, the
use of overhead projectors and chalkboards may no longer be
necessary if learners all have access to the same networked
resource on which the teacher is presenting information.
• Furthermore, if students are distributed throughout several
classrooms - which is becoming more common place - localised
resources such as projectors and chalkboards become redundant
and new electronic forms of distributed communication must be
employed.
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
11. • Secondly, ICT may also make some assessment
methods redundant. Low level (factual)
knowledge for example, has been traditionally
tested by the use of multiple choice questions.
In an ICT environment, on-line tests can easily
be used which instantly provide the teacher
with a wide range of information associated
with the learner's score.
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
12. • Thirdly, the role of the teacher must change in the sense that it is
no longer sufficient for teachers merely to impart content
knowledge. It will however, be crucial for teachers to encourage
critical thinking skills, promote information literacy, and nurture
collaborative working practices to prepare children for a new world
in which no job is guaranteed for life, and where people switch
careers several times. One of the most ubiquitous forms of ICT - the
Internet - gives access to an exponentially growing storehouse of
information sources, almost unlimited networks of people and
computers, and unprecedented learning and research
opportunities. The Internet is a network of networks, providing
opportunities for inquiry-based learning where teachers and
students are able to access some of the world's largest information
archives. Students and teachers are able to connect with each
other, learn flexibly, and collaborate with others around the world.
Generally speaking, geographical distance is no longer a barrier, and
the age of the 'borderless' provision of education is upon us (THES,
March 2000).
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
13. • Finally, teachers must begin to reappraise the
methods by which they meet children's' learning
needs and match curricula to the requirements of
human thought. The Internet can be an excellent
way to adapt information to meet the
characteristics of human information processing.
Traditional methods of imparting knowledge,
such as lectures and books are characterized by a
linear progression of information. Human minds
are more adaptable than this, using non-linear
strategies for problem solving, representation
and the storage and retrieval of information
• (See for example Collins and Quillian, 1969; Collins and Loftus, 1975). Hypertext software enables teachers to provide their students with the non-linear
means to match non-linear human thinking processes (Semenov, 2000: 29-30)

14. TIPS ON THE USE OF ICTS IN THE
CLASSROOM
Plan lesson then integrate media based on the
objectives
Provide a clear link between what you want
your students to learn and the media. Care must
be taken to provide the proper learning context.
Take time to integrate media effectively into a
course. This is not edutainment, it is the
conscious use of media to increase student
learning.
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
15. TIPS ON THE USE OF ICTS IN THE
CLASSROOM (cont’d)
Use the subtitles feature for visual media. This is
especially useful in focusing student attention on the
message from the media.
Be prepared. Technology does not work 100% of the
time, so have a back up plan. If the media equipment
does not work, go to plan B and continue your class
without missing a beat.
Evaluate student understanding. Students respond to
incentives. Relate media to the lesson task at hand.
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
16. EVALUATING INTERNET SOURCES
Determine Authority
Is it absolutely clear which company or organisation is
responsible for the information on the site?
Is there a link to a page describing what the company
or organisation does and the people who are involved
(an “About Us” page)?
Is there a valid way of making sure the company or
organisation is legit – meaning, is this a real place that
has real contact information (email only is not
enough)?
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
17. EVALUATING INTERNET SOURCES
Determine Accuracy
Can I easily figure out who wrote the information?
Are all factual claims clearly substantiated, that is,
are there cited (linked) sources?
Are there any glaring grammatical and spelling
errors?
How long ago was the page updated?
Can you verify the expertise of the author? Are the
writer’s qualifications clearly stated somewhere on
the site?
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
18. Evaluating Internet Sources
Determine Motivation
• Is there an overwhelming bias in the
information?
• Is the URL appropriate to the content?
This is a good way to determine quickly if
the site is legit for your purposes.
• Are the ads clearly separated from the
content?
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
19. Evaluating Internet Sources
Use Common Sense
Just because something made its way on to
the Web absolutely does not mean that it’s
credible, reliable, or even true.
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /

20. WHEN TO USE VIDEOS
Set induction
Conceptualize methods
Reinforce facts
Initiate discussion
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
21. VIDEO GUIDELINES
• Must be relevant as it is one of the most
powerful media
• Used to bring out objective not just be related
to topic
• Good quality
• Culturally relevant
D. RAMDAT/ RIO CLARO EAST SECONDARY /
22nd MAY 2013
22. WHEN USING AUDIO FILES
• It is easy for listener to become distracted
therefore:
– Voice on audio should capture attention without
being distracting
– Keep presentations short
– Should be clear
• Beware of inaudible foreign accents
• Excessive static

30. WHAT IS PREZI?
Prezi is a web-based presentation
application and storytelling tool that uses a
single canvas instead of traditional slides. Text,
images, videos and other presentation objects
are placed on the infinite canvas and grouped
together in frames. The canvas allows users to
create non-linear presentations, where users
can zoom in and out of a visual map.
