Total quality (TQ) is a passion and a way of life for those organizations that live its message. The problem is how to generate the passion and the pride required to create quality in education. The significance of leadership for undertaking the transformation to TQ should not be underestimated. A key aspect of the leadership role in education is to train and empower teachers to give them the maximum opportunity to improve the learning of their students. Technology and innovative ideas are the other important tools for them.
Not only in Turkey, but in many countries “training innovative minds through quality in education and technology use” has gained importance recently. Many educators and educational leaders are trying to find out the meaning of “quality” in education through the further technological innovations. This tendency seems to be changing the educational paradigm with respect to the Internet technologies. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are getting very popular especially in American and European universities. Through some well-known IT companies teachers are trying new ways instead of the traditional ones. Experts think that the Internet and some other innovative ideas might be significant for the national systems of education as they may become the basis for the emerging global education system.
In this paper, the author is going to share her experiences she gained during her participation to the Sixth Conference of MIT’s Learning International Networks Consortium on June 16th-19th, 2013 at MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
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.
Technology is important because it is a part of our life. It makes our work fast, can make our lives easier.
Technology can be a ‘force multiplier’ for the teachers.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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
2. Abstract
In the сurrеnt age we live in the technology era .It hаѕ bесоmе аn important component in every
field such as medicine, education, banks etc. Information technologies help in promoting
opportunities of knowledge sharing throughout the world. These can help the teachers and
students having up-to-date information and knowledge. Accurate and right information is
necessary for effective teaching and learning; and information technologies are “set of tools that
can help provide the right people with the right information at the right time.” Students are
independent and they can make best decisions possible about their studies, learning time, place
and resources. Students are able to work in collaborative and interactive learning environments
effectively communicating, sharing information and exchanging ideas and learning experiences
with all in the environment. The availability of new information technology is contributing to
many innovations in classroom activities.
Introduction
Technology begins to change our vision of education at the moment a teaching-learning program
with technology begins. Technology in acquiring knowledge and skill is an extremely essential
component of education and training at all levels: primary, secondary, higher and professional
education. . For this reason, technology application in classrooms is essential to ensuring its
efficiency and effective integration. Technology has now changed how teachers and students
access, gather, analyze, present, and transmit information by giving them more power in the
classroom . Teachers are using digital technologies to engage students with more personalized
learning experiences. Students are collaborating across geographical boundaries, and consuming
and producing innovative education-related content.
Following are some of the quotes about educational technology.
"Teaching in the Internet age means we must teach tomorrow’s skills today.”
Jennifer Fleming
"We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the
pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.”
David Warlick
“It is not about the technology; it’s about sharing knowledge and information, communicating
efficiently, building learning communities and creating a culture of professionalism in schools.
These are the key responsibilities of all educational leaders”.
– Marion Ginapolis
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write only, but those who
cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. "

IT implies telecommunications involving a combination of computers, networks, satellites,
telephones, radio, television and the like. IT resources involve not only hardware (equipment) but
also software (programmes), people, education, government and association/collaboration
resources. Application of IT to education involves many disciplines related to computers in
handling, processing, management, automation and communication of information in the broader
cultural and economic context of a society. Thus, technology in education encompasses one or
more of the following modes:
Media and Audio-Visual (AV) communication, e.g. alternative instructional delivery
systems such as Radio, Educational Television (ETV), etc.
Vocational training tools, such as CBT (Computer Based Training), CAD (Computer
Aided Design), etc.;
Computers and computer-based systems for instructional delivery and management, e.g.
CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction) etc.
Internet/web based education e.g. not only educational information with text, graphics,
video and courses offered by various web sites.
Technology can provide effective learning experiences by helping the learners perceive
information, reflect on how it will impact their life, compare how it fits into their own experiences
and think about how this information offers new ways to act. The present era puts forward the
concepts of a " Digital Classroom" and "Smart Schools" which are locally round yet has a global
outlook. The digital classrooms and smart schools mainly aim at the following:
To change the teaching/learning process by encouraging teachers to shift to child-centered and
more collaborative forms of learning in their classrooms.
To prepare students who are creative, numerate, literate, well-trained and readily retainable at any
point in their development.
To ensure that all students understand the necessity of being able to live and work harmoniously
with other people in their environment and progress of the society.
Thus, IT in education along with our traditional modes can be used for developing; Teaching
Learning Materials (TLM) which make the classroom environment lively and conducive to
learning. It can be used for individualized learning or self learning, as well. IT can be used in our
classrooms in the following ways:
Multimedia:
Development in computers, communication, electronics and other Multimedia tools provide a
wide range of sensory stimuli. It is said "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I
understand." The animations, simulations, software packages to teach various subjects, speech,
music, multimedia networks, image enhancements, etc. create virtual realities and experience for
the learners, which in turn, help in making learning a more direct, useful, and joyful experience
and retain knowledge for a longer time.
Community resources:
An electronic community allows students to engage in dialogue with each other, their teacher,
experts and teachers in different parts of the country or the world. This can be done via two
modes namely, asynchronous communication and synchronous communication. In asynchronous
4. communication, exchanges take place in a delayed format. There are a number of activities that
can be developed using asynchronous communication like presentations, free flow discussions on
a topic, peer reviews, debates, message boards, bulletin boards, e-mails, listing servers, seminars,
simulations, feedback on assignments, forums, learner led and threaded discussions. Whereas, in a
synchronous interactive environment, exchanges take place in real time. The synchronous
communication can also be used for online lecture.
Individualized instruction:
Technology can be used for individualized instruction in order to bridge the gaps between the
teaching styles and the learning styles. The use of technology can be made to address the visual
learners, auditory learners and kinesthetic learners. In an ordinary classroom with one teacher, it
is difficult for the teacher to respond and provide feedback to each student. The programmed
instruction models as suggested by Skinner can be used to provide learners learn at their own pace
and give immediate feedback.
Audio-Visuals and Animations:
Audiovisuals, video conferencing, short animations, virtual reality, etc can be used in teaching
learning process. The abstract ideas can be focused upon and understood by means of visuals
from different point of views. To illustrate the chapters / topics of the respective subjects can be
taught by PowerPoint presentations.
Digital devices:
The digital devices like cameras, scanners can be used for instruction. For instance digital
photographs and recordings can be used for electronic and virtual field trips, science experiments
and demonstrations, etc. The portable scanners can read text from books, documents, research
papers, newspapers and the information scanned can be pasted at ease for reference and
documentation. The other digital devices like digital blackboards, electronic pens and touch
screens etc. can also be used to enhance learning. Studies reveal that use of technology motivate
students to learn and inspire teacher to explore how best a technology fits into his / her lesson.
Personal Digital Assistants (PDA):
The PDA wireless devices are used as e-learning tools allowing the learners to access information
anytime, anywhere. It is observed that, there is a shift from the E-learning to M-learning (which
includes learning via. mobile computation). The use of Bluetooth and infrared technologies has
made it possible to transfer information in fractions of seconds.
Online materials:
The online materials used in the educational setting are as listed below.
Database:
Database is a good source of materials put up by the government, libraries and educational
institutions. It contains extensive information on graphic interface, websites, electronic page
layout, graphics, multimedia and animated designs. The websites like www.intschool-
leipzig.com, www.discovery.com, www.nationalgeographic.com, etc. provide information that
serve educational purposes.
5. Journals:
There are many e-journals available on the web. Facilitators can include online journals as an
integral component of their learning materials with knowledge that can be regularly updated and
links that can remain active. Online journals like www.rsc.org, www. journals.cambridge.org,
etc., are a good source of information for helping learners to complete projects, assignments and
other research work.
Software libraries or Digital libraries:
Software libraries contain programs that the learners may download to their own computers .
There is a range of software available from many websites on education, which includes
download for preschool, secondary school and high school. The software library includes
e-books, interactive CDs and teaching tools. The famous websites like www.chemsoc.org,
www.library.thinkquest.org, www.iisc.ernet.in, etc. allow downloads of interactive CDs in
various subjects.
The knowledge mapping software designed to capture and organize brainstorming sessions into
concepts and knowledge webs can also be used. A teacher can pose a problem before the students.
The students thereby can create a diagram of ideas, web of ideas using hypertext and hypermedia
for assembling and linking information to present their understanding of almost any topic.
Simulated software can also be used to explore student’s previous knowledge. The student makes
choices while interacting with the software. Observing
the choices and discussion made by the students enables the teacher to explore the student’s
previous knowledge and understanding .
Teacher-parent interactions:
Online conversation with parents involved greater discussion about pedagogical issues and often
focused on student learning than they had been in traditional school settings. Voice mail and other
messaging systems help in encouraging both parents and students to leave messages to their
teachers. . The parents can also have the direct access to the classrooms instead of having their
children’s educational experiences filter and interpreted through the eyes of their children.
Teacher- teacher interactions:
Teachers around the world can share their instructional activities and experiences with each other.
The chat rooms like innovative teaching on www.yahoo.com and other websites like
www.teachingideas.com, www.innovative teaching .com, etc. serve this purpose.
Teacher-student interactions and student-student interaction
This helps in creating a learning environment. The students can decide a time to meet online and
discuss the various aspects of the course on weekends and holidays.
Online testing:
The teacher may prepare a question bank or an objective type test and place it on the network.
The students answer and submit the test. The immediate feedback and scores can be obtained by
the student. The evaluation can be done by means of assignments in the form of presentations,
documents, and audio visuals, drill and practice, online quiz in various subjects, etc.
6. A school website:
A school website is an innovative way of creating learning environment as well as involving the
society in the same. The major components of the classroom website are the home page which is
linked to the student page, parent page, teacher page, teaching philosophy page and professional
page. Above mentioned are ways in which technology can be used in educational setting. The
technology when used in teaching the curricula subject like English, Science, Mathematics,
Social Studies helps the students see the unseen, to test theoretical concepts, comprehend
abstract ideas and communicate effectively.
IT has also made a remarkable contribution to the field of distance education making it is
possible to learn anytime, anywhere. However, all the advances in technology and its impact on
instructional modes have changed the role of a teacher from an instructor to a facilitator and
creator of learning environment.
Role of a teacher in the present era:
The starting point of a digital classroom is a teacher. Teachers must be trained to effectively use
the technology for planning and student instruction. The role of the teacher has subtly shifted
from being the sole 'provider' of knowledge to being a facilitator as the student explores for
himself, the expansive world of knowledge.. In today's world, lifelong learning has become a
critical determinant of success. . The Learning Management System (LMS) harnesses the
potential of technology to improve learning outcomes and to prepare students for the accelerated
changes in the world in which they live. however, efforts are been made to make the teachers
aware of the use of technology through pre-service and in-service courses. The use of IT in
teaching requires competencies on the part of the teacher and has indeed made the profession
more challenging.
CONCLUSION
The ultimate goal when using technology in the classroom is to provide all students no
matter what their abilities, strengths and needs, with opportunities to fully engage in
their learning and become active members in their education. Students will become
empowered and more importantly confident in their abilities. . The various technologies
generate a greater level of interaction between and among teachers and students. They also help
to enhance the educational environment while providing enrichment in the learning experience.
The use of technology, therefore, should be motivated by specific objectives related to
instruction and learning with direct linkages to the curriculum. The integration of technology
into the regular experience for all students provides a rich learning experience and in
the end will provide almost limitless learning opportunities, limited only by the
teacher’s and student’s imagination.
