Despite efforts by school leaders, teachers, technologists, and researchers; much teaching is unchanged since the arrival of information and computer technology (ICT). The same devices that are deeply embedded in everyday life are still marginalized in many classrooms. Technology acceptance is a framework that has contributed to the development of ICT and ICT-based practices in many fields other than education. Three strategies for supporting ICT in schools that focus on increasing technology acceptance are described from the participants' perspective. The experiences are discussed from several perspectives to both understand technology acceptance as a framework for planning in education and to identify some unanswered questions about technology acceptance that are relevant to education populations.

AbstractThe advancement of telecommunications, information and computer technology has led to changes in culture and the demands of everyday life, so that it has given birth to new patterns of relationships, including in the business world. One of its flagship media is through e-commerce (electronic commerce). The emergence of concerns about e-commerce transactions, especially the Islamic community in Indonesia, both from a security perspective and a sharia perspective. This paper aims to analyze e-commerce transactions in Islamic economics. The results of the analysis concluded that technically the transaction, both in the form of buying and selling services or goods, if the goods are delivered in a formidable form of non-digital, then e-commerce transactions can be analogous to the sale of al-salam, which has been prescribed from the beginning- the beginning of Islam through the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet. The use of e-commerce in Indonesia is permitted while the two parties understand each other. This article is also to provide general guidance about e-commerce users in running their business. Keywords: Bai 'as-salam, E-Commerce, Islamic Economics.AbstrakKemajuan teknologi telekomunikasi, informasi dan komputer, telah menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan kultur dan tuntutan hidup sehari-hari, sehingga telah melahirkan pola hubungan baru, di antaranya dalam dunia bisnis. Salah satu media andalannya adalah melalui e-commerce (electronic commerce). Munculnya kekhawatiran terhadap transaksi e-commerce khususnya masyarakat Islam di Indonesia, baik dari prespektif keamanan dan prespektif syariah. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis transaksi e-commerce dalam ekonomi syariah. Hasil analisis disimpulkan bahwa secara teknis transaksinya, baik dalam bentuk jual-beli jasa atau barang, kalau barang tersebut diserahkan secara tangguh karena berbentuk non digital, maka transaksi e-commerce dapat dianalogikan kepada jual-beli al-salam, yang telah disyariatkan semenjak awal mulanya Islam melalui Sunnah Nabi saw. Penggunaan e-commerce di Indonesia dibolehkan selagi antara kedua belah pihak saling paham. Artikel ini juga untuk memberikan panduan umum tentang pengguna e-commerce dalam menjalankan bisnisnya.Kata Kunci : Bai’ as-salam, E-Commerce, Ekonomi Syariah.

The study is basically to examine electronic-voting in Nigeria elections as an improvement on the traditional paper voting with a focus on Owerri Senatorial Zone, Imo State. Worried by the frequent and debilitating incidences of electoral fraud and disenfranchisement of voters for unsubstantiated reasons, the study tended to sample opinion of respondents in Owerri on the subject as a way of strengthening democracy. Martin Hagen theory of e-democracy was adopted as theoretical framework. Hagen construes e-democracy as a strategic tool to strengthen democratic practices using the information and computer technology (ICT). The study is a survey attempt which made use of structured questionnaire to elicit information from respondents. Simple per centage was used for data analysis. It is our finding among others that e-voting will reduce incidences of election fraud especially in the areas of voting and counting of votes, and also the physically challenged qualified voters and citizens living and working abroad will have opportunity to cast their votes. The study concludes that Nigeria must cash in on flourishing (ICT) to fight endemic electoral irregularities in Nigeria through firm belief in and avowed adoption of e-voting. The study recommended among others institutionalization of legal frameworks and structures that will formidably support the practice of e-voting in Owerri senatorial zone in particular and Nigeria in general.

Comparative Advantages

This paper tries to critically analyse Jeffrey Alexander?s cultural sociology. In the first part of the paper I will examine Alexander?s conception of hermeneutical structuralism which argues that conventional systemic sociology and richness of experience found in everyday praxis can be reconciled. In the next section I will provide a critique of this kind of approach to social theory and maintain that Alexander?s sociology is, in principle, reductionist regarding everyday life. In addition, I will also point out some of the comparative advantages that pragmatically oriented theory has in the attempt of integrating theoretical and practical knowledge. In the final section of the paper, I will try to illustrate some of the major shortcomings of Alexander?s sociology on the concrete example of advances in computer technology.

In everyday life, it is not uncommon when we hear the sound of chanting the holy verses of the Al Al Qur’an  which are read in mosques before prayer time or in other conditions we seem interested in knowing what Surah and which verse is being recited. This is due to the love of Muslims themselves for the Al Qur’an  but not all Muslims memorize the entire contents of the Al Qur’an . Based on the limitations and the magnitude of curiosity about Surah and Verse information, the writer is interested in developing a computer system that can recognize and provide information on the recited Surah and Verse. Advances in computer technology not only make it easier for humans to carry out activities. One of the human intelligences that are planted into computer technology is to recognize the verses of the Al Al Qur’an  Surah Al-Falaq through voice. Ada-Boost method is one method to identify or recognize voice classification, and by using this method the success rate in recognizing verse numbers reaches 72%. This system can only recognize the number of verses of the Al Al Qur’an  Surah Al-Falaq, recorded sound files with the .wav file extension and built using the Delphi programming language.

Currently, virtual reality (VR) is a computer technology that is growing in terms of developments and discoveries. Virtual reality has been introduced in different areas due to the growing interest it has caused in people. The development of applications with virtual reality is increasingly varied, covering activities, tasks, or processes of everyday life in the fields of industry, education, medicine, tourism, art, entertainment, design, and modeling of objects, among others. This chapter will focus on describing the latest advances and developments in virtual reality within the scope of representing reality in the process of locating objects. With the support of virtual environments and intelligent virtual agents, the author has managed to develop a computational model that generates indications in natural language, for the location of objects considering spatial and cognitive aspects of the users.

Information seeking and resource discovery, for which library/information science researchers and developers have devised the techniques and approaches introduced in the previous chapter, may be engaged in by teachers seeking information and learning resources that they can reuse or reconfigure in their own teaching. Resource discovery may also be engaged in by learners themselves—either within the context of a formal course of study in which they are given the opportunity to seek out information and resources for themselves, or as autonomous self-regulated learners operating outside the context of any formal course. Library/information science is concerned with the seeking and discovery of information and resources in both of these contexts. As educationists have developed information and computer technology (ICT)-based approaches to learning design and teaching (which will be introduced in Chapter VI), so library and information scientists have developed ICT-based approaches to enabling and facilitating effective information seeking and resource discovery. These approaches—including ICT-based standards—form the focus of the present chapter.

Kids love computers. Computers are not seen as work but rather, games.I believe this to be true for most children. The exception would be the young computer buffs who become hooked on computer technology, and even for these computer buffs, it is probably still a game.Computer technology has become a fact of everyday life. We‘re all affected by computer technology. With this in mind, I believe it is essential that all children become familiar with computers, with regular ‘hands on’ experience. With the right selection of software, schools can incorporate computer-assisted learning across the curriculum. The experiences children have now with computers can lead to a variety of job opportunities in future years.

Subject Total factor productivity. Significance The first estimates in the 1960s suggested that the growth of labour and capital inputs accounted for 20-30% of economic growth, implying that total factor productivity (TFP) improvements accounted for the remaining 70-80%. However, the skills embodied in labour and the technology embodied in capital can now be measured much more accurately. After these contributions are subtracted, the role of TFP in growth is reduced. Impacts Improvement in the quality of capital is closely tied to rising investment in capital, especially information and computer technology. If investment growth continues to slow, this will affect future output both through the volume of capital as well as its productive quality. Ageing populations and persistent ultra-low rates raise ‘secular stagnation’ fears; the future will depend on a better-educated workforce.
