ICT in education

Dear colleagues,

Do you wish to make your students more active in the teaching and learning process? If positive, integrating technology in your practices could be the answer. In other words you could integrate the “ICT in education".  ICT stands for Information and Communication Technology and once it is integrated in an appropriate way it offers an important motivation to the students since they are “digital natives” and they are used to technology while playing and socializing through the network. So, why let’s use technology for educational purposes too.

To begin this adventure let's visit the following glossary (created by D. Gonzalez -November, 2009) in order to familiarize ourselves with some technical words.

I am starting this web log as part of baw2011 and I intend to use it in my ICT courses at the faculty of Education. This should allow me to shift from face-to-face courses to blended courses. 

Knowing that our graduate lebanese students are usually bilingual, thus my English and French blogs are not 100% identical.

Welcome to the digital world of education!
