Globally, educational systems are adopting new technologies to integrate ICT in the teaching and learning process, to prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need in their subject matter. In this way the teaching profession is evolving from teacher-centered to student-centered learning environments. ICT integration is understood as the usage of technology seamlessly for educational processes like transacting curricular content and students working on technology to do authentic tasks. Nowadays ICT facilitate not only the delivery of lessons but also the learning process itself. This includes computer based technologies, digital imaging, the internet, file servers, data storage devices, network infrastructure, desktops, laptops and broadcasting technologies namely radio and television, and telephone which are used as instructional tools at schools.
ICT literacy basically involves using digital technology, communication tools and/or access, manage, integrate, evaluate and create information in order to function in a knowledge society.

Unit – I: INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
ICT: Concept, Objectives, Need and Importance of ICT - Characteristics and Scope of Information and Communication Technology.
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are simply technologies arising fromscientific and technological progress in computer sciences, electronics andtelecommunications. They enable us to process, store, retrieve and disseminate valuableinformation in text, sound and video form. In an increasing interconnected world, brought about by the application of technological advances to all sectors of society, quality education necessitates active and innovative exploration to maximize the benefits of ICT and developand maintain the partnerships that use of ICT in education requires. This calls for re-conceptualising and restructuring the educational enterprise, so as to confront thetechnological challenges of this millennium. With rapid changes within society and radical transformations in the way people acquire knowledge, new teaching paradigms arerequired, ones that tune educational systems to modern times and ensure quality trainingfor large numbers of persons.
This powerpoint presentation includes all the various aspects, advantages and disadvantages, merits and demerits of information and communication technology in the field of education.
Since Islam originated and has developed in an Arab culture, other cultures which have adopted Islam have tended to be influenced by Arab customs. Thus Arab Muslim societies and other Muslims have cultural affinities, though every society has preserved its distinguishing characteristics. Islamic culture inherited an Arab culture born in the desert, simple but by no means simplistic. It has an oral tradition based on the transmission of culture through poetry and narrative. However, it has been the written record that has had the greatest impact on civilization. Islam civilization is based on the value of education, which both the Qur'an and the Prophet stressed.
One of the distinctive features of the Islamic tradition is its rapid expansion into a large and diverse civilization, soon becoming divided into several centers of political authority. Although the Prophet’s activities were mostly limited to the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant, after his death the first four “Rightly Guided” caliphs sent armies to conquer Syria, Egypt, Iraq and parts of Persia, which were then within the declining Byzantine and Persian empires.
Carthage was a Phoenician state that included, during the 7th–3rd centuries BC, its wider sphere of influence known as the Carthaginian Empire. The empire extended over much of the coast of Northwest Africa as well as encompassing substantial parts of coastal Iberia and the islands of the western Mediterranean Sea.
The Kingdom of Carthage was the major power in the western Mediterranean from its establishment by the semi-legendary Queen Dido in 814 B.C. until its fall following its struggles against the rising Roman Republic. Carthage was one of the great trading powers of the Mediterranean and had relatively few rivals until its fall from grace, namely the Etruscans and the Greek city-states of Sicily and Cyrenaica. Much of Carthage's foreign policy depended on maintaining its mercantile dominance and expanding its control over island territories with which it could base its powerful navies and trade fleet.
The Phoenicians were the great mariners of the ancient world, and their thalassocracy (maritime realm) was organized into city-states. It is important to understand there was never a country or empire called “Phoenicia.” A possible origin of the historical name for this Semitic/Canaanite culture might have come from the ancient Greek Φοινίκη (Phoiníkē) meaning “Purple Land.” That is because the Phoenicians were famous in their own time for their dark purple dye—a rare and prized commodity. Inhabitants of the Phoenician city-states along the Eastern Mediterranean coast (like Sidon and Tyre) might have called themselves Kenaani (Canaanites).
With the coming of the new millenuim, the entire world has entered the globalized age, which is characterized by the US global power leading the world after the fall of the ex- USSR. The emergence of globaization rose several questions about the role of the US: Is it acting in favor preserving the world cultures, or trying to model the world according to the US Western and liberal values? This; in fact, has paved the way to rise of such theories, expliaing that the US has enetered a new phase of conflict which is basically cutural in order to survive and promote its cultural values.
The Bush era has seen remarkable change in the US foreign policy. After 9/ 11 attacks, President Bush (the son) initiated the Bush Doctrine and started his war on terror which had such implications as the invasion of Afghanistan in 2011, and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) refers to human communication via computers and includes many different forms of synchronous, asynchronous or real-time interaction that humans have with each other using computers as tools to exchange text, images, audio and video.
The Bill Clinton Era the 1990s and the new millenniumBoutkhil Guemide
The Presidency of Bill Clinton has been an important era in the history of the US. Clinton is best known of his economic policies; namely, Clintonomics which produced a huge surplus of the budget. In foreign policy, Clinton is best known of the Engagement and Enlargement which relied on building of a new world order based on both Democracy and Freemarket economy.

The US presence in the Middle East can be explained to the fact that it always defends its interets in the region. For, that reason, the US uses divergent means and methods to achieve its ends.
The lecture analyzes the phenomenon of Globalization, the technological revolution, the over exploitation of ICTs, and the rise of Information Society.
Reagan's 1980 election resulted from a dramatic conservative shift to the right in American politics, including a loss of confidence in liberal, New Deal, and Great Society programs and priorities that had dominated the national agenda since the 1930s.
Domestically, the Reagan administration enacted a major tax cut, sought to cut non-military spending, and eliminated federal regulations. The administration's economic policies, known as "Reaganomics", were inspired by supply-side economics. The combination of tax cuts and an increase in defense spending led to budget deficits, and the federal debt increased significantly during Reagan's tenure. Reagan signed the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (which simplified the tax code by reducing rates and removing several tax breaks) and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Reagan also appointed more federal judges than any other president, including four Supreme Court Justices.
Reagan's foreign policy stance was resolutely anti-communist; its plan of action, known as the Reagan Doctrine, sought to roll back the global influence of the Soviet Union in an attempt to end the Cold War. Under this doctrine, the Reagan administration initiated a massive buildup of the United States military; promoted new technologies such as missile defense systems; and, in 1983, undertook an invasion of Grenada, the first major overseas action by U.S. troops since the end of the Vietnam War. The administration also created controversy by granting aid to paramilitary forces seeking to overthrow leftist governments, particularly in war-torn Central America and Afghanistan. Specifically, the Reagan administration engaged in covert arms sales to Iran to fund Contra rebels in Nicaragua that were fighting to overthrow their nation's socialist government; the resulting scandal led to the conviction or resignation of several administration officials. During Reagan's second term, he sought closer relations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and the two leaders signed a major arms control agreement known as the INF Treaty.
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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The scientific, technological and engineering
disciplines and the management techniques
used in information handling, processing,
and disseminating; their applications;
computers, networking and communication
and their integration with men and
machines; and associated social, economic
and cultural matter.
Turban et al. (2005): ‘Information Technology is
an organization's collection of information
resources, their users, and the management that
oversees them; includes the IT infrastructure
and all other information systems in the
organization’.
8. Benefits of ICT in education
ICT offers support to make school more productive,
ICT services network allow learners and teachers to save
work on their own, and share resources with others,
ICT classrooms’ equipment help learners to learn
digitally, save pensile- paper, and encourage them to
involve in classroom activities.
ICT prepares students to participate in a rapidly
changing world: Work and other activities are
transformed by access to varied and developing
technology,
Learners use ICT tools to find, explore, analyze,
exchange and present information creatively,
Learners know how to employ ICT to access to ideas and
experiences from a wide range of people, communities,
and cultures,
ICT promotes initiative and independent learning: Being
able to make informed judgments about when and
where to use ICT to best effect.

10. Importance of ICT in School
The development of ICT has
introduced four powerful
worldwide changes that have
altered the business
environment, Organizations or
societies that do not respond
to these changes will not be
able to survive and prosper in
the new business
environment.
12. The widespread use of ICT has influenced
education.
Erdogan (2009):
Many countries consider ICT as a
potential tool for change and innovation
in the education field …, they make
large investments in the integration of
ICT in schools. For example, Europe
and Central Asia allocate 22% of their
budget to ICT.
Kozma & Anderson (2002) believed that for an
economy to be knowledgeable education should
be its primary necessity. Simultaneously, the
teaching strategies in schools are bending
towards ICT. This change towards ICT has been
very dramatic.
14. Students
• Looking for answers to their questions on
the internet
• Having more possibilities to be employed
• Enabling students to move to higher- order
thinking
• Developing constructive thinking skills
• Enhancing student understanding
• Becoming knowledgeable
Teachers
• Facilitator/ Coach
• Fruitful teachings
• Framework for improving
teaching
Administrators
• Use of automated systems
• Important tool in research, library,
documentation, etc.
15. Making learning more interesting:
Understanding critical issues,
Bridging distances: Using e- mails, phone,
video- conferencing etc.
Breaking literacy barriers in communication:
Using interactive videos,
Research and useful Information sharing:
Using Internet,
Creating of new employment opportunities
(via ICTs/ with ICTs),
Enhancing interaction with peers over long
distance,
Creating entertainment opportunities
(games, music, video),
Providing educational information (distance
learning),
19. ICT Architecture & Infrastructure
ICT architecture: The building’s
architecture.
It serves as a broad blueprint for acquiring,
developing, implementing, and integrating
ICT in order to support the business
functions and strategies of an organization.
Services and processes,
Information and data,
Specific technology products that are
deployed and integrated,
Technical standards for building systems.
ICT Infrastructure: The means to support
and manage both ICT resources and
services in the organization.
22. ICT in School
Widespread use of technology: It is important
that children can grow with the knowledge and
skills to use it.
Via technology: Knowledge is free and available.
The survival skills of 21st century learning:
Critical thinking and problem solving,
Collaboration across networks,
Agility and adaptability,
Initiative,
Effective oral and written communication,
Accessing and analyzing Information,
Curiosity and imagination,
The importance of ICT to education as a sector is
far greater than the consideration of ICT as a
discrete knowledge based subject, and it should be
seen as such.
23.
24. Embedded technology schools:
Schools which demonstrate effective
and embedded use of ICT do
transcend the knowledge based
learning agenda. Staff and pupils are
confident with skills and ICT use,
Available technology schools:
Technological tools are available, but
not yet used and fully exploited for
various resons,
Knowledge Society: “know what”,
“know why”, “know how” and “know
who”.
25. Schools that are confident with
technology are moving away from
knowledge- based curricula.
Adopting programmes which focus on
“Learning to learn” and “Enquiry- based
learning”: Learning moves away from
simple subject knowledge to higher level
thinking skills in all subjects.
Delivering what society and business
want to see in the 21st century education
system.
No excessive concentration on ICT skills,
but allowing these skills to support the
delivery of a much wider and more
relevant curriculum.
28. Educational ICT tools
Roblyer and Edwards: The use of ICT in education has
evolved from two main approaches, namely behaviorist and
constructivist instructional methods.
The integration of ICT in teaching and learning: A
medium in which a variety of methods, approaches, and
pedagogical philosophies are implemented and used.
The effectiveness of ICT: How and why it is applied and
integrated.
Taylor (1980) stated that ICT usage is classified to tutor,
tool, and tutee.
Tutorial programmes: Leading learners step- by- step
through drill and practice.
Using technology: Tutorials, or explanatory programmes
helping learners to solve learning problems.
ICTs: Tools where students programme the computers in
order to gain more understanding.
Integrating different ICT tools and applications in teaching
and learning.
29.
30.
31. Barriers in using ICT at school
As Schoepp defined, ‘a barrier is considered as any
condition that makes it difficult to make progress or to
achieve an aim’.
Barriers: Preventing teachers to employ ICTs in the
classroom, or develop supporting materials,
The process of using ICT in everyday education is very
complicated.
ICT supporting teaching and learning is not problem- free.
Barriers: Teacher-level barriers Vs. school-level
barriers.
Becta: Barriers are basically classified on whether they
refer to individual (teacher-level barriers), such as lack of
confidence, shortage of time, and resistance to change, or
to the institution (school-level barriers), such as lack of
effective training in solving technical problems and lack of
access to resources,
Balanskat et al.:
Micro level barriers: Related to teachers’ attitudes and
approaches to ICT,
Meso level barriers: Related to the institutional context.
