Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Uma “comunidade de prática” virtual (CdP) é uma rede de indivíduos que têm uma área de interesse comum e sobre a qual comunicam em linha. Estes praticantes partilham recursos (por exemplo experiências, problemas e soluções, ferramentas e metodologias). Esta troca resulta no aprofundamento do conhecimento de cada participante dessa comunidade e contribui para o aumento do conhecimento nessa área de interesse.

le processus d’intégration des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) par les enseignants est long et complexe. Dans la plupart des cas, on parle de cinq à six ans.

Peu importe la raison initiale pour laquelle ils avaient commencé à utiliser les TIC, les enseignants doivent passer par différentes étapes d’intégration en classe : la familiarisation (les élèves ont droit à des activités récompense à l’ordinateur), l’exploration (les élèves peuvent enrichir des notions vues en classe par de la recherche sur Internet), l’infusion (les élèves accomplissent des tâches spécifiques à l’ordinateur, visant l’atteinte de compétences disciplinaires) et l’appropriation (les élèves participent à des projets visant l’atteinte de compétences transversales).

« Les étapes du processus ne sont ni mutuellement exclusives, ni obligatoires, mais elles sont cycliques », fait remarquer Mme Raby. Ainsi, un enseignant pourrait employer toutes les étapes à la fois, à des moments différents de son enseignement.

o potencial de desenvolvimento de uma sociedade dependerá no futuro menos das riquezas naturais e mais da capacidade de criar, distribuir e utilizar o conhecimento.

Em sociedades interligadas, criatividade e possibilidades de troca ou partilha são grandemente aumentadas. Estas sociedades criam um ambiente particularmente favorável ao conhecimento, inovação, formação e pesquisa. As novas formas de sociabilidade em rede que estão a desenvolver-se na Internet são horizontais e não hierárquicas, encorajando a cooperação, como é bem ilustrado pelos modelos de software de computador de pesquisa "colaboradora" ou "fonte aberta".

Talking to headteachers at a conference organised by the National College of School Leadership, Zander explains why we should stop listening to the negative voices in our heads and give ourselves and others an A-grade. He urges people to think positively and be open to possibilities. He argues that we spend too much time and energy being weighed down by negative thinking and downward spirals. The secret, he says, is to try to live in possibility, and not to take yourself too seriously.

According to a recent survey by the nation's two largest teachers' unions, most educators are enthusiastic about the role technology can play in improving learning, but many still feel unprepared to take advantage of digital tools in the classroom. What's stopping them? The persistent barriers include too few computers, a lack of technical support, and inadequate professional development.

How can schools around the world educate their students better? What does the future hold? Most researchers who study these questions in the field of education peer through the lenses of sociology and public policy. HBS professor Clayton M. Christensen and colleagues chose a different approach—the theory of disruptive innovation, often applied to a variety of other industries, such as technology and health care.

"America's reputation as an international leader rests in the hands of our youth," said Sen. Chris Dodd. "It should be among our top priorities to provide our students with the tools they need to maintain and build upon this standing." The Senator was one of the original sponsors of a bill that proposed the setting up of the centre. Meanwhile Congressman John Yarmuth of Kentucky spearheaded the passage of the bill through the House and said its timing could not be more critical. "American businesses know that they need a well-educated workforce to face growing competition from China, India and Europe." The Federation of American Scientists said, "The creativity that developed extraordinary new information technologies has not focused on finding ways to make learning more compelling, more personal and more productive in our nation's schools. Education has not kept pace with technological advances said the FAS "People assumed that the explosion of innovation in information tools in business and service industries would automatically move into classrooms." That, the Federation said, has simply not happened.

"Good teachers are the magic in the classroom. "Personal computers aren't magic, they are just a tool. What you need to make the educational process work is a good teacher who is knowledgeable in the subject and can get kids excited."

"Nations are as strong as their educational systems. "The rest of the emerging world recognises this is the key to staying competitive." He went on: "It's time our political leaders acknowledged that and declare there is a crisis and do something about it."
