ABSTRACT
Digital information technology, cyber technologies, or current online education technologies, have liberated teachers, learners, and curricula from the bottle of the traditional classroom or university lecture to an endless, open cyberspace. They have transformed teachers from memorizers and monopolizers of knowledge into advisors and facilitators of knowledge acquisition, and students from recipients of collective, unified morning or evening hours throughout the day into enlightened researchers beyond the confines of school space and time.
School/university curricula have been freed from the constraints of limited library use and are now accessible to millions of learners across the world, regardless of their age, knowledge, culture, geography, circumstances, needs, and life, academic, or professional roles.
This book provides an integrated approach to learning and teaching that is more responsive and effective than traditional sources to the needs of learners in the age of globalization, information, and digital school and social communities.
The book covers eight essential topics for effectively implementing information technology in integrated school education:
1. Introduction to the concepts and logistics of information technology and integrated school education
2. Integrated school education – a brief overview of the concept, role, and components
3. Establishing a culture and standards for integrated school education
4. Establishing digital communities in integrated school education
5. Human and technical services for integrated school education
6. Basic equipment and facilities for integrated school education
7. Principles and regulations for integrated school education
8. Preparatory operational foundations for initiating integrated school education
