The use of ICT creates a powerful learning environment and it transforms the learning and teaching process in which students deal with knowledge in an active, self-directed and constructive way (Volman & Van Eck, 2001). This study was conducted to investigate students’ attitude towards use of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning in public secondary schools in Kieni East Subcounty,Nyeri County,Kenya. The objectives of the study are to (i) establish E-readiness in teaching and learning (ii) explore attainment of computer skills and (iii) assess the extent to which students access ICTs in teaching and learning.The sample comprised of 14 female students and 28 male students. Questionnaires were administered to students. Findings indicated that 67% and 81% of the female and male students respectively had no access to internet. The study revealed that 80% of the female students can open and create a document while 57.1% of the male students preferred computer studies to other subjects. The level of students’ attitude towards ICT in teaching and learning was positive despite the challenges in its integration in public secondary schools in Kieni- East Subcounty.The study recommends that schools buy enough computers and install network for use by the students.

يعد القرآن الكريم من مصادر المعرفة، وقد تولدت منه فروع واسعة؛ إذ نُزل القرآن الكريم باللغة العربية، ولا يوجد خيار آخر لإتقان المعرفة الواردة فيه إلا من خلال تعلم اللغة العربية. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى بيان مفهوم المدونة العربية القرآنية ومكوناتها، والكشف عن علاقة تعلم اللغة العربية بالقرآن الكريم، وبيان كيفية تعليم وتعلم القواعد العربية الأساسية عبر المدونة العربية القرآنية، وستتبع الدراسة المنهج الوصفي والتحليلي. إن وجود العلاقة بين اللغة العربية والقرآن الكريم، يدفع الطلبة المتخصصين في اللغة العربية أن يربطوا اللغة العربية بالقرآن؛ لذلك نرى أن المدونة العربية القرآنية تساعدهم على فهم القواعد القرآنية بطريقة مثيرة للاهتمام. في نظرة شاملة يمكن أن نستنتج أن المدونة العربية القرآنية هي واحدة من أهم الأدوات الحسابية التي تم إنتاجها في خدمة اللغة العربية؛ حيث توفر للمتعلمين ما يحتاجون إليه في مجال اللغة واللغويات والدراسات الحاسوبية، كما تمهد الطريق للباحثين لدراسة الهياكل المورفولوجية والنحوية من خلال دراسات الحوسبة العميقة للقرآن. الكلمات المفتاحية: المصرف القرآني، نموذج حاسوبي، المدونة العربية القرآنية، المعجم القرآني. Abstract The Holy Quran is a source of knowledge and it has generated wide branches of knowledge. The Holy Quran was revealed in Arabic. Hence, there is no other option to master its knowledge except by learning the Arabic language. This study aims at explaining the concept of the Arabic Quranic Corpus and its components, revealing the relationship between learning the Arabic language and the Holy Quran, and showing how to teach and learn basic Arabic grammar through the Quranic Arabic Corpus. The study will follow the descriptive and analytical approach. The existence of the relationship between the Arabic language and the Holy Quran prompts Arabic learners to associate Arabic with the Qur'an. Therefore, we see that the Quranic Arabic Corpus helps them to understand Quranic rules in an interesting way. In a comprehensive view, we can conclude that the Arabic Quranic Corpus is one of the most important web-based medium produced to serve the Arabic language. It provides learners with what they need in the field of language, linguistics and computer studies, and paves the way for researchers to study morphological and grammatical structures through technology with detail description of grammars. Keywords: Quranic Treebank, Computational Model, Arabic Quranic Corpus, Qur’anic Dictionary.

Abstract The intent of this article is to share my research endeavors in order to raise awareness of issues relative to what and how we teach as a means to spark interest in applying the scholarship of teaching and learning to what we do as faculty in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). My own interest in teaching and learning emerged rather abruptly after I introduced academic service-learning (AS-L) into one of my graduate courses (Stevens, 2002). To better prepare students to enter our profession, I have provided them with unique learning opportunities working with various community partners including both speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and teachers who supported persons with severe communication disorders.

Abstract The use of podcasting is incredibly widespread, with experts estimating that 60 million Americans will be using podcasting in some form by 2010. The use of podcasting has grown beyond entertainment to become an educational tool, showing promise as a way to disseminate information and create networks of professional learners. However, despite the growing clinical and educational uses of podcasting in other professional disciplines, podcasting is being used primarily as a continuing education tool for speech-language pathologists and audiologists at this time. This article provides guidelines and examines the potential applications for use of podcasting in teaching and learning in communication sciences and disorders.
