Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are tools that are part of the process of teaching and learning music. These didactic/pedagogical resources are widely used by teachers. They strengthen, motivate, and increase the student’s interest in learning. This study is an action-research (AR). It involves 12 teachers and 68 students in the subject of music education in an Ecuadorian university. A Holistic and Technological Model of Music Education (HTMME) was generated. The performance of the plan was evaluated by means of an original questionnaire and qualitative work. The AR procedure involved an analysis of data at the end of each implementation cycle. The appreciation of the new model was very positive. With the methodology implemented, new teaching experiences and relevant learning for students were achieved. Learning music with ICT induces creative-musical processes in students.

Portfolio Approach

Teaching and learning in the 21st century should be markedly different from earlier times through the design of new teaching and learning environments. Through the presentation of three models of technology-rich learning environments (teacherdirected, learner-centered and mediated), this chapter provides a case study of the design and delivery of a course called Learning with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) guided by a mediated learner approach, using new approaches to using ICTs and assessment for learning as key course design drivers. That course aims to prepare future teachers who demonstrate strong theoretical and practical understanding of designing and creating effective ICT teaching and learning experiences, and are confident and proficient users of ICTs. We provide an analysis of the implementation of that course through the presentation of the learning stories and reflections of students. Specific discussion is provided about the conceptualization and implementation of an e-portfolio approach to promote deep learning.

Educational Paradigm

Knowledge Society (KS) is influenced by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), economic changes, political, cultural and social concepts allowing access to other levels of welfare and progress. However, the differences in terms of access and ICT skills between different groups in society have created a problem of digital divide. To overcome this problem, models and strategies are required to achieve a greater impact on the population and that population can develop skills that enhance inclusion in the society knowledge. This work proposes an Interactive Ecosystem of digital literacy that aims to set a new educational paradigm approach to encourage different learning communities to uses new technologies of information and communication that allows them to be more competitive in today's world and thus shorten the digital divide. Finally, a case study is shown as an implementation of the ecosystem throughout an architectural model in the state of Aguascalientes, México.

Information And Communication

Information and communication technologies have established themselves in all areas of human life. We use these technologies for work but also for entertainment. Computers facilitates numerous activities. New technologies also bring new problems. Therefore, educational institutions must respond to this situation. Children use computer devices very often, also to the detriment of their movement. Children also use a lot of mobile devices. There is a tendency to use mobile devices in the classroom and find new teaching methods. According to international research has current way of life negatively affects health, especially children. Children too much time sitting at the computer, stare into its smartphones, watching television for a long time. They move little and they carry little activity outside. The paper describes case study among children. We used questionnaire method and long-term observation. The first questionnaire was completed by 138 students aged 11 to 19 years. Obtained data are processed by statistical methods. For analysis of the results in each item was measured as having detected data variability. We used a coefficient of variation. To interpret the results of the second stage classification was done chi-square test. We've also used a case study. We are within one year we observed 15 boys aged 10 to 17 years. We have focused on observing their physical condition, any manually abilities, use of leisure time. This paper aims to show the possibilities of using information and communication technologies in promoting the healthy development of children. The paper shows practical examples of informatics education. The paper describes examples for education of informatics with physical activity. The findings were obtained in a survey that the detection methods used knowledge case study, questionnaire, observation, interview and pedagogical experiment.

Abstract Nowadays, companies are increasingly forced to fight against competition. The number of competitors on the market is constantly growing, and customer’s demands on the products offered by the companies are increasing. The role of customers on the market has changed in recent years. Customers are more active than before, i.e. they started to actively co-create value, so they stopped being passive to the purchase process. Organizations that make appropriate use of the increase in customer activity can count on large benefits for the company. One of the methods to increase competitiveness is continuous introduction of new technologies based on the Internet, which recently resulted in easier cooperation between customers and suppliers, making and settling transactions, coordination of orders in the supply chain thanks to e.g. solution supporting electronic exchange of EDI documents. Therefore, the development of information and communication technologies has significantly influenced the development of organization through its improvement. This paper presents the importance of new technologies for the customer that improve the process of its service in a selected clothing sales network in Poland.

The transformations in educational environments due to the immersion of information and communication technologies (ICT) make it necessary to analyze the limits and possibilities of the assessment of the virtual training process. This paper presents an analysis of the meanings of ICT-mediated assessment, establishing what kinds of knowledge are suitable for this type of evaluation, and the challenges and possibilities of virtual tools. For this, we present a systematic review of ICT-mediated evaluation and assessment according to the educational paradigms and their implementation. We highlight that contemporary pedagogical models and their implementation in ICT mediation tools show a trend towards quantitative and summative valuation. The commonly used learning management systems (LMS) include several types of questions oriented to quantitative evaluation, with multiple-choice being the most common. However, new technological approaches like gamification, virtual reality and mobile learning open new assessment possibilities. The ICT educational platforms and new technologies demand new skills for all educational actors, such as digital literacy.
