Despite the effort of the Federal Government of Nigeria to improve the standard of instructional delivery process in secondary schools via the introduction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) innovations, the attainment of the ICT objectives in secondary schools still remains far-fetched. The study investigated awareness, acceptance and adoption of ICT innovations among secondary school students. Three research questions guided the study and survey research design was adopted. The population of the study consisted of all 7012 students in the 18 public secondary schools in the study area. The sample for the study comprised 360 students obtained through multi-stage sampling procedure. “Awareness of ICT Innovations among Secondary School Students” (Awareness), “Acceptance of ICT Innovations by Secondary School Students” (Acceptance) and “Adoption of ICT Innovations by Secondary School Students” (Adoption) were constructed by the researchers and used for data collection. The instruments were validated by three experts. The findings revealed that secondary school students in Aguata Local Government Area (LGA) of Anambra State are aware of ICT innovations, and have accepted them for learning. It was further revealed that the said students have adopted ICT innovations for learning to a low extent. In line with the results of the study, it was suggested that State government have to ensure that ICT innovations are made accessible to students to adopt for learning and research purposes.

The article is dedicated to a highly topical issue of raising the effectiveness of teaching upper secondary school students with cerebral palsy foreign languages by means of the selection and classification of web applications. According to the Law of Ukraine «On General Secondary Education», SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) students can study in mainstream schools (and namely, in special / inclusive classes or in distant / evening / extramural educational settings), and also in special schools (meant for children who need special education due to their physical impairments or mental disability), among which there are also education-and-rehabilitation centers (for children who need regular rehabilitation because of the complexity of their impairments). The implementation of the Social model of disability, started in Ukraine, presupposes the gradual transition from segregation to inclusion of SEND children. It can be implemented by means of numerous adjustments in mainstream educational settings so that all the barriers are removed, unless the modification of learning is viewed as the best choice. Some of the adjustments mentioned can be introduced by means of web-applications interpreted in this research as users’ computer programs that empower them to solve certain tasks. Pursuing the aim of the article the author classifies web applications by the following criteria: their location (on a special web platform or on a user's personal computer); the field of usage (whether they are supposed to be applied by general public or in a special field only). The latter include applications, designed for teaching foreign language. These are classified according to the competencies that they enable to develop (namely, language and speech ones). Finally, the web applications are grouped according to barriers and special educational needs typical for upper secondary school students with cerebral palsy. The results obtained are generalized in tables suggested.

Daily lives of citizens in current societies have changed with the spread of digital technologies, online services, and digital communication. Alongside this, the information and communication technology (ICT) labor force is expected to grow massively over the next years, requiring in- creased number of applicants for digital education and sufficient digital skills from every labor market entrant.This study examines the digital abilities of Finnish upper secondary school stu- dents (N = 3206) and the students’ intentions to study/work in the ICT field in the future.The results highlight a dissonance between the growth expectations and the popularity of the ICT field among young Finns.The students’ future intentions are also strongly gendered; for about 9% of males, but only about 1% of females in secondary education are planning to apply in the ICT field in the future.The students’ ICT intentions were predicted most strongly by being a male and possessing strong technical abilities
