Nowadays biology teachers should be professional, ICT and information competent, and they must be able to create diverse teaching scenarios and apply modern technology, enabling students to acquire the knowledge and develop the competences needed for life in the 21st century. With the aim of determining the degree of implementation of information and communication technology in the educational process, a research was conducted on a sample of 65 biology teachers from the Split-Dalmatia County. The results show that biology teachers insufficiently apply ICT tools, and on the work they most commonly use Power Point presentations and their permutations. Length of teachers working experience and the types of schools in which they work are not factors frequently use of ICT tools in the educational process. The results can be the encouragement to transform the initial education of future biology teachers and guidelines for the necessary additional professional training of teachers practitioners and strengthening their ICT skills.

<p>Penerapan ICT di bidang pertanian dapat meningkatkan layanan informasi bagi para petani karena dapat menyediakan informasi yang relevan dan tepat waktu. Namun, masih terdapat hambatan dan kegagalan dalam adopsi teknologi dikarenakan adanya perbedaan prefensi antara <em>developer </em>dan <em>user</em>. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan evaluasi ICT <em>literacy</em> petani agar <em>software</em> yang dikembangkan dapat dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur ICT <em>literacy</em> petani melalui evaluasi kuesioner berdasarkan <em>framework</em> ETS (<em>Educational Testing Service</em>). Ukuran sampel yang digunakan adalah 30 petani kedelai. Dari 30 responden, 73% petani telah menggunakan HP,13 %  komputer dan 7% internet. ICT <em>proficiency</em> petani dalam penggunaan HP, komputer dan internet adalah 59%, 21% dan 18%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa HP merupakan tool yang tepat untuk penerapan ICT dibidang pertanian. ICT yang dapat dikembangkan oleh <em>developer</em> untuk diterapkan langsung kepada petani sebagai <em>user</em> utamanya hanya berbasis SMS<em> Gateway</em>. Aplikasi berbasis <em>website</em> dan <em>mobile</em> belum dapat diimplementasikan langsung kepada para petani karena sebagian besar petani belum menggunakan <em>smartphone</em> dan penggunaan komputer serta internet masih cukup rendah.</p><p>Kata kunci: evaluasi ICT, ICT, ICT literacy, ICT petani, ICT proficiency</p>

The use of information and communication technology is very beneficial in the education sector because it can enhance the quality of education. However, the implementation of ICT in the education sector of developed and developing countries is a challenging task. This paper explains the comparative study of ICT issues in the education sector of developed and developing countries. In particular, we compare issues between Pakistan and high-tech countries. Our study reveals the fact that the education sector is facing numerous ICT problems that are based on culture, finance, management, infrastructure, lack of training, lack of equipment, teacher’s refusal, and ethical issues. At the end of this paper, various issues faced by the implementation of ICT in the education sector of Pakistan have been categorized into various types, namely, infrastructure, lack of IT professionals, lack of high-speed internet and equipment. Our research is based on five key research questions related to ICT issues. We used a mixed approach where the results of this study can be used as a set of guidelines to help make the learning environment technology-oriented, fast, planned, and productive. Future directions are also given at the end of this paper.

The Creation

This chapter examines how power dynamics are manifested in virtual work. It starts with a look at how power is demonstrated in traditional decision making, and progresses to an exploration of how some organizations are experimenting with different forms of e-participation. Two cases are presented to illustrate some of the decisions associated with the implementation of information and communication technology (ICT), and the consequences of those choices. The first case looks at President Obama’s platform on technology and how his administration has embraced it to expand his vision of democracy in the information age. The second case portrays a utility company seeking to increase the involvement of its stakeholders through the creation of a blog site for the exclusive use of its community council. Both cases reveal a complex view of how organizations attempting to increase participation can paradoxically find themselves stifling it.
