Despite the current consensus that adapting and reusing existing learning resources, including Information and Communication Technology (ICT), is a good thing, examples of this practice are few and far between. This can be traced to a number of factors. In particular, the 'not invented here' syndrome (HEFCE, 1996) is no doubt still present. However, more important is the issue of the time and skills required to retrieve, evaluate and then adapt materials. This is compounded by the fact that identifying suitable resources in the first place can be complex (although the growth of subject-specific information gateways, portals and guidelines to resources will go some way towards alleviating this problem).DOI:10.1080/09687760108656774

The current study investigated associations among adolescents’ reports of harmfulness and family decision-making beliefs regarding potentially problematic cyber behaviors (e.g., talking to strangers online), cyber-specific information management strategies (disclosure, secrecy, concealment), and family rules regarding adolescents’ use of information and communication technology (ICT). The sample consisted of 159 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years ( M = 14.45, SD = 1.72, 59% female, 80% Caucasian). Youth were more likely to disclose their ICT behavior when they recognized the harm associated with cyber risks and viewed their family as less restrictive about ICT activities. Age differences indicated that older adolescents’ ICT beliefs were more strongly related to their information management strategies, whereas families’ ICT rules were more predictive of cyber disclosure for younger adolescents. Results demonstrate that both adolescents’ conceptualization of ICT risks and families’ ICT-specific rules contribute to adolescents’ choice of information management strategies regarding ICT behaviors.

ABSTRACT: Kondisi sekolah-sekolah di daerah 3TP pada umumnya belum tersentuh TIK, belum memiliki sumber tenaga listrik, keterbatasan sumber belajar, dan terbatasnya jumlah guru yang ada terbatas pula pengalaman pemanfaatan TIK dalam pembelajaran. Metode pembelajaran yang diterapkan guru masih yang bersifat konvensional. Sejak tahun 2015, diawali di 5 provinsi, dengan 10 sekolah (5 SD dan 5 SMP) memulai perintisan penerapan model pembelajaran terintegrasi TIK. Masalah yang menjadi fokus pembahasan di dalam tulisan ini adalah bagaimana sekolah-sekolah di daerah 3TP yang kondisinya serba terbatas dapat memulai penerapan model pembelajaran terintegrasi TIK. Selain didasarkan atas pengalaman penulis sebagai anggota tim fasilitasi Pustekkom-Kemendikbud dalam perintisan penerapan model pembelajaran terintegrasi TIK, tulisan ini juga diperkaya dengan kajian/telaah terhadap berbagai dokumen dan artikel yang terkait dengan pemanfaatan TIK untuk pembelajaran di daerah 3TP. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan model pembelajaran terintegrasi TIK di sekolah-sekolah di daerah 3TP. Sebagai kesimpulan, sekolah-sekolah di daerah 3TP yang menerapkan model pembelajaran terintegrasi TIK ini sudah meningkat jumlahnya. Kata-kata kunci: Teknologi Informasi and Komunikasi (TIK), daerah 3TP, pembelajaran. ABSTRACT: Generally, the condition of schools in the borderline, outer, and frontier areas (BOFA) have never been in touch with the information and communication technology (ICT), no electricity, limited learning resources, and limited number of teachers with limited experiences in utilizing ICT in learning as well. The teaching method applied by teachers is still the conventional one. Started in 2015, the piloting of an ICT integrated-learning model commenced. The focussed problem to be discussed in this article is how the schools in the borderline, frontier, outer areas with various limited conditions are able to start the application of an ICT integrated-learning model. Aside from the author’s based experiences as a facilitating team member of the ICT Center for Education and Culture-Ministry of Education and Culture, in piloting the application of an ICT integrated-learning model, this article is enriched by the review or study of various documents and articles related with the utilization of ICT in learning in the BOFA. The objective of this article is to describe the application of an ICT integrated-learning model in the schools in BOFA. As a conclusion, the number of schools in BOFA applying an ICT integrated-learning model has been increased.

The involvement of teachers in Bone Regency in using information and communication technology (ICT) to prepare teaching materials is very little or even never said, even though computer facilities and infrastructure are available in the computing lab. This activity aims to provide knowledge to Mathematics teachers about online learning Google Classroom and Geogebra. The use of Google Classroom will make learning more effective for teachers and students because learning is no longer limited by space and time, student can explore learning resources easily and utilize information technology properly. Likewise, Geogebra training is expected to overcome the difficulties of teachers in visualizing concept charts in mathematics dynamically. The target audience for community service is mathematics teachers who are members of the Mathematics MGMP in Bone Regency.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
