Using the
computer and the Internet
The modern
computer has become a personal tool that facilitates education, and leads
to a real change in the basic technological processes. The use of the
computer in the official education system is still limited to school
administration purposes, or as a course material itself.
At
schoolarabia.net’s, we aim to use the computer to support and enrich
school curricula, and to create dialogue between teachers and learners.
This protocol moves us towards an effective Arabic electronic network.
When the net
is most effective, it functions as a learning environment without borders.
This virtual environment provides learners with scientific knowledge,
while assisting them in recognizing the suitability and novelty of web
sites contents. This knowledge encourages Arab learners to play a
productive role in the global network, rather than being consumers only.
There are many
exceptional teachers preparing fascinating, motivating, and relevant
materials, but only a select few learner’s benefit from that each year.
While no interactive learning and teaching environment can replace or
reduce the impact of a genuine human educational expertise, but on the
contrary, technology’s success is measured by the significance of the
input and methods developed by educators themselves.
schoolarabia.net’s, by using the Internet through the interactive
learning/teaching environment, will enable the future teacher to lecture
in a wide classroom, which in this case will be as wide as the Arab world.
Educational
Reform
The world is
in the midst of a transitory period, which requires an informed
understanding of radical changes in our financial and social priorities.
Theconnection
between computer technology and telecommunication has changed basic
technology processes in different sectors of human activity and its
prospects. Also, the struggle between international forces and local
interests constitutes a political and educational challenge. So,
educational reform has become a priority to support the needs of knowledge
economy, and also to embody the values of the learning society. Since
knowledge, has become the most important source of social power;
development and education have intertwined to the point of being
synonymous.
Educational
reform is a tool in society's hands; it is an aide in meeting the
challenge to implement social and humanitarian values into any learning
paradigm. Educational reform must also confront such significant
international issues as democracy, environment, and population education.
But the
question remains: How do we best use education as a tool to create the
means for change and the formation of the future status of the whole
educational process?
