El propósito de este artículo es exponer las representaciones sociales del trabajo docente mediado por las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) de profesores de una telesecundaria mexicana. La premisa que orienta la argumentación sostiene que la incorporación de las TIC en la telesecundaria es un proceso azaroso y gradual que emprenden y construyen los docentes espontáneamente en su trabajo como educadores. Se trata de un estudio de corte interpretativo, cuya aproximación teórica metodológica recupera los planteamientos de la teoría de las representaciones sociales para profundizar en el sentido y en el significado que atribuyen los docentes al uso de las TIC como artefacto de mediación en la enseñanza. Para lograr el acercamiento al conocimiento de las representaciones sociales se utilizó la entrevista en profundidad, un cuestionario de habilidades digitales y el análisis documental. Los hallazgos dan cuenta de que los profesores representan la enseñanza mediada por las TIC como un proceso individual, voluntario y no planeado que depende del nivel de capacitación logrado por cada uno de ellos. Asimismo, no muestran resistencias importantes para el uso de las TIC, más bien están interesados en incorporarlas. Sin embargo, hay factores asociados a la formación, capacitación y a las condiciones de trabajo que limitan el uso de software educativo especializado para la enseñanza.

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the learning processes, have radically transformed the content approach in educational programs, as well as a change of role in the actors; Students become more self-managing and teachers become guides or advisors in the generation of knowledge and skills. The objective of the work is to know in depth the representations of teachers on educational modalities supported by ICTs, what are the possible advantages and disadvantages, as well as some of their reflections on their implementation in the CUNorte. The approach to the object of study is carried out through a qualitative investigation of descriptive type, in which four units of analysis based on the theory of social representations are considered. The paper rescues the experience of how the role of the actors in the performance of their academic activities has been transformed with the implementation of educational modalities based on ICT.

The rise of multiple online social network sites represents a new set of opportunities for persons to develop and sustain a variety of personal and professional personas with increasing ranges of access. In some cases, these sites allow individuals to enable or re-establish connections with members of a social network that are separated over time and distance. For instance, the author’s children are now able to find friends from elementary school, and reconnect with them as they enter into adulthood, providing renewals of relationships from childhood that in past eras might have dissolved. One child is also demonstrating professional development in an online social network community for musicians. New rules and considerations for social interaction and management reflect changing uses of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in a richly integrated Information Society. These considerations can be described in terms of mathematical properties of coupling, persistence, and work functions associated with accessing, sharing, and transitioning among multiple social representations that evolve and diverge over time.

Abstract   The objective of this research is to find out the use of Whatsapp Messenger as a mobile media to learn writing in EFL classes.Several researchers have attempted to prove applicability of mobile learning as modern ways of teaching and learning (Naismith, 2004:115). Moreover, applying portable technologies have been demanded by most of the modern learners who oftentimes are forced to study anywhere, and anytime, for example, at work, in the bus or at weekends (Evans, 2008:115).The research was motivated by the students’ difficulties in writing. The sample of this research was three classes of first grade students of English Department of Unswagati. The instrument of this research was questionnaire sheet. Data from questionnaire sheet was analyzed based on the frequency students’ answers and then was calculated and interpreted into percentages. The result shows WhatsApp Messenger attracts the students interest and also the students have positive responses towards the using ofWhatsAppMessenger. In applying WhatsApp group, the writer concluded that, learning using WhatsApp group has effective to develop their creativity in writing skill. On the other hand, the result from the questionnaire sheet indicated that almost of students is active in learning to writing recount text. Students can learn out of the classroom. Beside WhatsApp can be used privately, it can be used for students’ education. The students can use their gadget positively for their ability in learning English. The students can improve their knowledge in learning ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies). Keyword: WhatsApp Messenger,EFL writing, Instructional Media, ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies).

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.

Borders and bodies are increasingly regulated by data-capturing mechanisms spread across the world through information and communication technologies. This article traces the features and implications of such a border-body datalogical entanglement through the figure of the drug mule. It analyzes government documents and recorded case studies to argue that this figure emerges from an assemblage of cultural narratives, legal structures, human labor, technical practices, and biological processes. The datalogical drug mule is already implicated in a struggle over what, and how, data is meaningful and actionable. Investigating this figure allows us to begin disentangling the data-driven mechanisms that constitute modern borders and bodies while at the same time accounting for analog continuities in contemporary practices of border security.

Internet of Things is a new world for connecting object space in the real world with virtual space in a computer environment. To build IoT as an effective service platform, end users need to trust the system. With the growing quantity of information and communication technologies, the need to ensure information security and improve data security is increasing. One of the potential solutions for this are steganographic methods. Steganography based on the least significant bit (LSB) is a popular and widely used method in the spatial domain.

This paper aims to make a contribution toward an improvement of European e-policy practice. lt is inspired by the conviction that successfuJ e-policy strategies can lead to ba­lanced chances for all members in certain societies to aquire the absolutely indispensable capabilities for decision-making in the context of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Following the path of the development of e-policy papers it has to be stated that many goals have not yet been achieved. The techno-deterministic concepts 'access' and 'usage' seem not to reach far enough to get people really involved andin­formed. Many more aspects have tobe considered in order to create a clirnate for inno­vation where different choices made by different individuals according to their different social, economic or cuJtural backgrounds do not lead automatically to the well known either or not, connected or not-connected, haves or have-nots, but to a variety of pat­terns of involvement. In this paper, we argue for different e-policy strategies according to cultural aspects in certain societies. And hereby we will focus on the cultural aspects of information itself, on the notion of information in different information cultures. lt also seems important to mention at this stage that we believe that getting all members of society involved in the ICT-innovation process in order to provide the basis for in­formed decisions by each individual member is the most important task of e-policy.
