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?
