This article aims to analyse the problem of developing the readiness to use re- sources and services of the informational educational environment in work and study in students of pedagogical universities (future special educational needs (SEN) teachers). The urgency of creating technologies for practice-oriented train- ing of future SEN teachers (speech pathologists, teachers of individuals with hearing and visual impairments, teachers of children with mental retardation) is caused by the increasing requirements to the training of such specialists. The article presents results of an experimental study on the levels of information and communicative competence in first- and second-year students (N=114) of bachelor programmes in special education of children with disabilities. We used the following methods in our study: online questionnaires, pedagogical observation, practical tasks and tests within certain courses, and analysis of students’ works that were conducted using ICT (information and communication technologies). The criteria that we established for assessing the general user, pedagogical and subject components of ICT competence allowed us to determine its levels in bachelor students. The analysis of the data obtained in our study helped to identify the areas of concern and the necessary elements in the training of future special education teachers.

In recent years, worldwide and in our country, the view has been established that all students, regardless of any element of differentiation, special need or characteristic related to national, cultural or social identity, should have equal learning opportunities in one school for all. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) contributes significantly to the learning process. Especially for students with special educational needs, ICT provides rich educational experiences. The following work refers to ICT in the field of application of Special Education, in assistive technology, educational sortware, which provides opportunities to approach knowledge, socialization of individuals and removal of physical barriers to access to knowledge of students with special educational needs .

Acceptance Levels

The purpose of the study is to determine the relationships between teachers' ICT acceptance levels, ICT attitudes and individual innovation levels and to investigate their opinions. Mixed method research study including qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques is used. In this study, an interview form was used to get the opinions of the teachers with the help of Teachers ICT Attitudes Scale (TICTAS) developed by Aydın and Semerci (2017), Teacher Candidates IT Acceptance Scale developed by Baydaş (2015) and Individual Innovation Scale adapted to Turkish by Kılıçer and Odabaşı (2010). 201 special education teachers (35.8% male and 64.2% female) participated in the study. In line with the findings obtained in the study, there is no difference in the attitudes of gender, age, professional seniority and branch variables towards special education teachers' information and communication technologies. Moreover, there is positive relationship was found between ICT attitudes and IT acceptance levels. In addition, teachers expressed their opinions on the fact that information and communication technologies extend the special education students' attention span. Therefore, it is thought that the relationships between teachers 'ICT attitudes, ICT acceptance levels, and innovation levels affect the attention and focus times of special education students and will have a greater impact on students' academic success. On the other hand, it is suggested to carry out more comprehensive studies such as this study to improve the ICT attitudes, ICT acceptance and innovation levels of special education teachers. In addition, it is thought that providing in-service courses that are structured and better equipped to improve the ICT attitudes, ICT acceptance levels and innovation levels of special education teachers will be more effective for the special education field.

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).

Role Of Information

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.
