Technologies in the classroom are now the norm in schools equipped with multimedia, graphics and animation, access to the Internet, and handheld and remote devices. Students use these technologies as once they used pencils, books, and manipulatives to learn content in all subject areas. Learning is surpassing mere skills and facts; students are thinking and solving problems using these new skills. Literally, the world has become their classroom. Technologies help students master content aided by the fastest Internet connections at home as well as school. Technologies are the norm rather than the exception as tools for learning and content to be taught and mastered in school. Technologies are transforming how teachers teach and how their students learn, making it possible for both to attain the demands of ever-increasing standards. To meet these demands, educators have come to consider technology as a content area to be learned and as tools to be mastered.

<p class="15bIsiAbstractBInggris"><em>The Covid-19 pandemic has attacked the world since the beginning of 2020. The number of victims who have fallen is increasing, including in Indonesia. Seeing the increasingly fast and dangerous growth of the virus, the government urges to stay at home and not carry out daily activities as usual first, because avoiding associations and maintaining distance are one of the main ways to break the chain of the spread of Covid-19. However, limited access to activeness in various sectors is not the reason that the movement of the da'wah movement will stop, one of which is the preaching of the Al-Qur'an. The rapid development of technology, does not limit activities in the field, can still communicate, receive information via the internet, and various social media. So, the preaching of the Al-Qur'an can also be done using social media. There is no obstacle for a Muslim to memorize the Qur'an, so in the midst of a pandemic and busyness, Tahfidz online can become wasilah. Online Tahfidz is implemented by depositing memorization and muroja'ah via Whatsapp by sending voice notes, then it will be corrected by musyrifah who is the group admin. The method used in this research is qualitative by collecting data by observation, interviews, and questionnaires.</em></p><p class="16aJudulAbstrak"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p class="16bIsiAbstrak">Pandemi Covid-19 sudah menyerang dunia sejak awal tahun 2020. Angka korban yang berjatuhan semakin bertambah termasuk di Indonesia. Melihat pertumbuhan virus yang semakin cepat dan berbahaya, maka pemerintah menghimbau untuk tetap di rumah dan jangan melaksanakan kegiatan sehari-hari seperti biasa dahulu, sebab menghindari perkumpulan dan menjaga jarak adalah salah satu cara utama memutus mata rantai penyebaran Covid-19. Namun terbatasnya akses keaktifan diberbagai sektor tidak menjadi alasan roda pergerakan dakwah pun akan berhenti, salah satunya adalah dakwah Al-Qur’an. Perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat, tidak membatasi aktifitas di lapangan, tetap bisa berkomunikasi, menerima informasi melalui internet, dan berbagai media sosial. Maka dakwah Al-Qur’an pun dapat dilakukan dengan media sosial. Tak ada halangan bagi seorang muslim untuk menghafal Al-Qur’an, maka ditengah pandemi dan kesibukan, Tahfidz online dapat menjadi wasilah. Tahfidz online dilaksanakan dengan menyetorkan hafalan dan muroja’ah melalui Whatsapp dengan mengirimkan <em>voice note</em>, kemudian akan dikoreksi oleh musyrifah yang menjadi admin grup. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data secara observasi, wawancara, dan kuisioner.</p>

This article presents four technology-integrated activities that engage elementary students in learning. These educational technology activities were designed to be easily duplicated and modified by teachers for their students. The constructivist framework of the activities motivates students to be creative and to use problem-solving skills. Most of the technology-integrated activities were developed using the Internet and/or Microsoft programs that are commonly available, such as MS Word (2007), MS Excel (2007), and MS Paint (2001). The curriculum-designed activities integrate technology into a variety of subject areas; mathematics, science, art, social studies, and language arts. The technology activities included are Playing Musical Computers with Creative Writing; What’s the Connection?; Be an Artist, Paint a Picture-Story; and Where in the World is…? Each technology-integrated activity includes a description, an illustrated example of the activity, engaging activities for student to construct their learning, and ideas for presenting and sharing the projects.

As students ponder their use of the new technologies in schools and at home, what issues are raised for librarians and teachers? Do teens exaggerate their confidence and competence as they report their perceptions of using technology? In this study, four 16 year olds discussed their personal experiences in using the Internet for work and for pleasure. From their musings, we may begin to see a pattern of developmentally specific activities for using the new technologies that differs from adult expectations.

Millions of people all over the world use various kind of websites all over the world, be it Facebook, Twitter or the different shopping websites. They have impacted our life in a great way and specifically the shopping websites have made our life so much easier. To buy different products we don’t need to go anywhere. We can just sit at home and access these websites and order any item that we want to buy and it will be delivered at our home. Now one thing that all of us do before buying any product online is that we see the reviews of that product to know if the product is actually good or not. People used to do it long before the internet was even accessible. Then they used to take reviews directly from other people. This has been going on for a long time. Nowadays people browse thousands reviews available online before finally buying any product and they buy the product only if most of the reviews about the product are positive. It has happened with all of us that we want to buy a product but when we see that it has got many negative reviews , then we do not buy that particular product. Now the sellers know about this mind set of the people and they tend to play with it. What they do is that they hire people for writing fake reviews. These fake reviews can be of two types: 1) Good reviews using which their own product can be sold in big quantity. 2) Bad review so that they can defame some other product which is giving them competition. Many companies hire people so that they can write fake reviews and pay them good amount of money. Fake reviews weather a positive one or a negative one is bad and should not be entertained as it misleads the customer and it may also cause loss to the sellers. So we would like to know about these fake reviews and the people who write them so that we can protect people as well as the sellers from any kind of financial losses.

Per Se

Because urban planning affects the living conditions of its inhabitants, most countries, at least western democracies, require some kind of citizen participation by law. The rise of the World Wide Web has led to recommendations to offer participation via the Internet (eParticipation) in various forms. However, many eParticipation applications are not well accepted and fall short of the expectations associated with them. This chapter argues that the electronic mode of participation per se does not change much. Rather, electronic forms of participation have to be embedded in the context of the respective planning processes and participation procedures. If citizens are not interested in participating in an urban planning process, they will not do so just because they could do it via the Internet. Therefore, an analysis of the barriers and deficits of eParticipation has to start with a critical review of traditional offers of participation. Against this background, the forms and methods of electronic participation are described and assessed in regard to expectations and barriers associated with them. It becomes apparent that eParticipation research has still not provided solid knowledge about the reasons for low acceptance of eParticipation tools. This research is largely based on case studies dealing with quite different subject areas. There is also high agreement that electronic tools will not substitute traditional devices for a long time. Instead, they will only complement them. Therefore, online and traditional forms of participation have to be designed as a multi-channel communication system and need to be analyzed against each context together. Accordingly, this paper starts with summarizing both the institutional context of urban planning and traditional modes of citizen participation and the development and use of technical tools as two backgrounds. Recognizing a certain degree of disappointment with the low use of eParticipation, future eParticipation research should focus on fitting electronic tools better into their context and apply more comprehensive and rigorous evaluation.
