Unexpectedly, social distancing became a rule, forcing schools and universities to introduce an emergency remote education. The information and communication technologies (ICTs) are being used in many cases only as a way of transmitting content, reducing its potential to promote interaction between users, contextualization to daily life, and failing to make the student a protagonist in their learning process. In this sense, knowing and handling the available tools is essential in the current moment of education. Thus, in order to perform a brief review and at the same time point out ways to research or use technological resources in teaching, this article reports, albeit modestly, some of the tools that can be used for teaching Chemistry at different levels and educational modalities of this science. For this task, several easily accessible resources were selected to bring ways of instigating and making remote classes more interesting in Chemistry learning.

This paper is a critique of the traditional pedagogic in education using the critical pedagogic concept formulated by George. S. Counts. Critical pedagogic seeks to view the need for a new social society that can cope with various distributions and regulatory needs through education. In the educational world the teacher's role in the school is an active cultural bearer instead of teaching a passive culture. In the context of religious teachers in this regard, will deal with methods of educating that must conform to the development of science and technology. Teacher/lecturer is the creator of the learning process is required to further improve professionalism so as to create a learning society that thinks past the boundaries of kinship, thinking to create a better future. A critical pedagogic concept formulated by George. S. Counts, referred to as "the necessity of a new social order" in the context of the contemporary education are religious teachers/lecturers need to get out of the face of the slave mentality, and consciously raise strength to gain the influence of reaching for power to Can do great goals in caring for mankind, and increase the sense of global responsibility. The authors realize that the learning process based on information and communication technology in Indonesia is not optimal but religious teachers should not only stop the understanding on social facts but then on social actions that can change Social reality becomes a new social order, which is professional religious teachers in the use of information and communication technologies.

The emerging of new digital systems together with the ongoing processes of globalization is facilitating faster sharing of information and innovations. Knowledge is crucial need of any country as well as initiative of international communities which should be empowerment of all its citizens through access and use of knowledge. It listed briefly the knowledge sharing elements which make changes in our organization of work and daily life. The infrastructure of knowledge sharing in the Sudan is carefully studied. The water based knowledge is analyzed and finally digital knowledge assets that support and stimulating knowledge sharing are approached.

Every day, information and communication technologies (ICT) are extending their influence on knowing and transmitting knowledge. They act on humankind at different levels: the individual, the society, and the community/organization. The Internet more than other instruments in the past is changing human customs and knowledge strategies mostly due to the online information systems developed during last few years.

The increasing presence of advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) across various fields of our lives has elevated the significance of individuals’ capability to utilize these ICTs substantially. Although scholars have underscored the importance of understanding such capabilities in terms of skills that are multidimensional, few empirical investigations are connected to sound theoretical backgrounds. Analyzing a survey administered to a random sample of adults in the City of Austin, this study empirically examines multiplicities of technological capabilities. Building on the literatures of Bourdieu’s theory of capital, digital literacy, field, and participatory culture, this study finds three sets of technological capabilities that constitute individuals’ “techno-capital.” Furthermore, we analyze the influences of cultural and economic/financial capital reflected by key socioeconomic predictors on the different levels of techno-capital. We find that acquiring basic technological capabilities is a key factor explaining advanced techno-capital, while effects of gender, race, education, and income also persist.

Community engagement is necessary for the success and sustainability of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) projects. To ensure active participation of community, researchers need to understand and adhere to the local cultural norms and adapt in the lifestyle of people. These cultural norms are mainly unwritten and implicit in nature. Hence the researchers spend maximum time of their field visits in observing and developing understanding of the community's life. In our long-term partnership with the indigenous Penan community of Long Lamai in Malaysian Borneo, we co-developed written guidelines for researchers and visitors. The researchers demonstrated their interest in aligning research process to the community's cultural values, however norm internalisation and development of associated behaviour is still a challenging. The written guidelines are yet only one of the attempts to the practices of community researchers' engagement and we are refining our methodology to enhance the researchers' learning process.

The Internet and the World Wide Web are demonstrating the growing influence of information and communication technologies in various aspects of the economy. Regardless of the barriers of time and distance, newly introduced information highways are linking the world countries together, their societies and cultures contributing effectively to globalization. One of the growing trends in societal development and growth is investment in people. Therefore, the learning process is a priority issue that information and communication technologies are serving trying to upgrade and leverage human resources to become more competitive as we approach the 21st century with all its challenges and opportunities. This chapter covers an initiative that was launched in Egypt in 1997 that targets the investment of Egypt’s young generation, the kids of the present and the leaders of the future. This initiative is part of a national plan that aims at leveraging the capacities of Egypt’s human resources. The focus of the chapter will be the learning process, the Internet and the presence of the first Egyptian Web site for children on the Internet “Little Horus.” With the introduction of the Internet since 1993 in Egypt, today there are around 250,000 Internet subscribers, among which are a growing community of schools, teachers and children. As the Internet grows in magnitude and capacity, perceived to reach over one million subscribers in the coming five years with an estimated 20 percent under the age of 16, the Internet and the World Wide Web could play an active role in the education process in Egypt. The chapter, therefore, will demonstrate the “Little Horus” initiative, the steps that were achieved so far, the plan for the future and the building blocks that represented the critical success factors for the realization of this initiative with relatively modest resources.

Our work is focused on the segmentation analysis in the Spanish tourist industry. Using a sample of travel agencies who evaluated the relationship with their main supplier (relationship value, relationship benefits and perceived information and communication technologies (ICTs) use), we attempt to examine the utility of these variables as specific and subjective segmentation criteria for identifying heterogeneous groups. The estimation of a finite mixture model suggests that these bases are able to discriminate firms into six latent classes with different levels of ICT use and relationship variables. The novelty in this work lies in the application of latent segmentation methodology and the simultaneous use of bases associated with ICT and relationship variables in business-to-business tourism.
