ABSTRACT
This paper details an explorative and experimental project that is seeking to better implement virtual
technologies of Web 2.0 into the pedagogy of higher education. Our project endeavours to position these
technologies as a means of reorienting pedagogic practice within higher education around truly chaordic
communities of practice that serve to develop digital citizens. We have undertaken this project with the
belief that higher education should be concerned with answering the calls of our increasing digital society;
that is to say become a place for foster digitally literate learners, who’s learning is not restricted to physical
boundaries of the university but rather happens at all times over physical and virtual spaces.

To succeed in today’s society, rich on information and knowledge, students and teachers must use the modern technology effectively. The education should help students to develop the competencies, necessary for the successful life and work in the 21st century.
Key competencies of the future are:
critical thinking,
creativity,
problem solving,
communication
and collaboration.
To become an innovative school means to start changing the pedagogic paradigm on all the levels of management as well as with the entire teaching staff with the goal that its agents become more innovative. In the article, the project “Innovative Pedagogy in the Light of the 21st Century Competencies” issued by the Ministry of Education is presented. Its dominant goal is to systematically develop the 1:1 pedagogy implementation (http://www.education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms) and all the accompanying e-services, as for instance the e-portfolio, distance learning “Innovative Pedagogy Node”, the development of the implementing curricula with the integration of ICT, didactic trainings for different agents, and the development of the good practice criteria.

Navigating Challenges and Maximizing Benefits in the Integration of Informati...ssuser793b4e
The integration of Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) in the educational systems of both public and private primary schools in
Africa has become a crucial factor in enhancing teaching and learning. This
paper explores the role of ICT tools in education, including computers,
interactive whiteboards, learning management systems, educational apps,
online collaboration tools, television, and online assessment tools. It discusses
their applications and the advantages they offer, such as fostering creativity,
improving academic performance, increasing motivation and responsibility,
and promoting teamwork. However, it also acknowledges the challenges
associated with ICT integration, including distractions, excessive usage,
exposure to false information, data theft, reduced human contact, and
cyberbullying. Moreover, the paper highlights key challenges in African
education, such as the lack of computer literacy among instructors, low
teledensity, unstable power supply, inadequate financing, and the absence of a
comprehensive ICT curriculum. It concludes by emphasizing the need for a
holistic approach to ICT integration, addressing infrastructure, teacher
training, curriculum development, and organizational support to realize the
full potential of ICT in education especially at the Primary school level.

• Rationales for ICT in primary education
ICT is a logical, mechanical and designing discipline and the executive’s method utilized in taking care of data, its
application and relationship with social, monetary and social matters (UNESCO, 2002). ICT represents Data and
Correspondence Advances. ICT is a piece of our lives for the most recent couple of many years influencing our general public as
well as individual life. ICT which is presently extensively utilized in instructive world. Educator, Understudy, director and each
individual connected with training are prevalently utilized ICT. Instructor use ICT for making showing educational experience
simple and fascinating. A capable instructor has a few abilities and strategies for giving fruitful instructing. So advancement and
increment of abilities and capabilities of educator required information on ICT and Science and Innovation. In present day
science and innovative social orders instruction requests more information on educator with respect to ICT and abilities to
involve ICT in educating - growing experience. The information on ICT likewise expected for pre-administration instructor
during their preparing program, since this coordinated mechanical information helps a imminent educator to know the universe
of innovation in a superior manner by which it very well may be applied in future to improve the understudies. Presently - days
ICT‟s are changing schools and homerooms another look by bringing in new educational plan in light of true issues, projects,
giving devices to improving picking up, giving educators and understudies more offices and potential open doors for criticism.
ICT additionally helps educators, understudies and guardians to meet up. Ceaseless and Far reaching Assessment (CCE) makes
a difference understudies as well as educators to involve more innovation for making instructing learning more appealing to
improve our group of people yet to come. Educators should know the utilization of ICT in their branches of knowledge to help
the students for learning all the more really. In this way, the information on ICT is especially essential for the both imminent
educators as well as in-administration instructors moreover. This will assist educators with knowing coordinated innovation with
homeroom instructing.

Technology Based Education: How can theories of learning and/or development be used to guide the use of technology in schools?
Introduction
Twenty first century learning environment is no longer a goal, but an educational reality. We are deep into the midst of a paradigm shift that spans across our entire globe. The technology we live with as a society has exponentially grown at an increasingly rapid rate. This is illustrated from the integration of computers in every facet of our lives. This includes televisions, phones, cars, and even coffee makers which all contain a microprocessor, they all think. Even more startling is how connected we all are. Access to information is available at a finger’s touch. We can connect to people, we can shop, and ask for directions from anywhere at any time. We are tethered to the world by social media such as Facebook. Google has mapped out the entire earth. We can send a text message from the middle of Antarctica. Even more startling is how corporations and the government collects data as they track our ever movement as we go online. All this is reflected upon education, which mirrors this new 21st century society. No longer is the classroom isolated from the world, but it too is connected. Learning technology is critical more than ever because it impacts skills and productivity (Hall, 2011) for both the student and the teacher.
Background
Incorporating technology into the classroom has been around since computers were invented, but it has been only recently been the norm in the last few years. This revolution no more pointedly reflected in our education system, than it is today. Johri (2011) states that although digital information technologies in education has become commonplace, there are few guiding frameworks or theories that explains the relationship between technology and learning practices. Bennett and Oliver (2011) share that view. Research has focused on practical implementation versus the theory and application of the technology. They explained once theories are developed, a better understanding of effective technology based pedagogy would occur.
Technology in Education
I believe however, all the theorists play well with technology. Technology is merely a tool. Its strength is the ability to facilitate. John Dewey is a prime example. He believed in “learning by doing”. With an iPad there is an App where by students are able to see the stars and the constellation. With the use of satellites and GPS held within the piece of technology, students are able to view exact locations of stars. Where the iPad is directed in the sky, the stars would be in that location on the handheld screen, no telescope necessary. The students interact with the material to gain knowledge.
This is further illustrated by this second example. The best way to learn about Mayan pyramids is to actually visit one in Central America. With the use of laptops, students can connect to the Discove.

It is time for everyone in education to really do something to address the well-known and much used comments around “kids have changed”. Because they have changed, or should I say, some of the way they live their lives have changed. We are living in a connected age and access to information; to views on any given topic, are only a click away. In the digital age, more than ever before, we need to inspire young people, fire their imaginations, immerse, excite, challenge and motivate them. The technology at the teacher’s disposal in the digital age, when mixed with the analogue, holds such potential for inspiration. Learning to teach in this age is a journey all educators must embark on regardless of the stage they think they are currently at.
This keynote will provide an in-depth overview of techniques and tools, practices and environments that will inspire educators to make changes to the way they view teaching with technology and their classroom practice.
Presentation given to students as promo for launch of Computing A/S Level in school.
Speaker notes as follows:
1) I am here to talk about a new A Level being introduced by the ICT department in school - Computing
2) People think that Computing is for geeks
3) And Freaks
4) But is it more accurate to say that it is for High ability Maths students?
5) It involves: Problem solving
6) Logical thinking
7) And a mathematical model of deductive reasoning from axioms to logical consequences.
8) It gives good ‘direction’ on to many degree courses
9) But equally into jobs as well
10) So, maybe studying Computing can lead to access to the finer things…
11) In life.
12) So back to the question:
13) Is it for geeks…...
14) And freaks?
Or is Computing something you might want to study? If so then come and see me, email me (handout leaflets to those interested)

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”.
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.
