Paper Abstract:
|
The Education Technology in Schools project (Ed Tech in Schools) is charged with assisting Egyptian schools to create a practical and competitive educational environment using modern methodologies and computer technology. The project is also charged with assisting the Egyptian government and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to build community awareness, acceptance, and expertise in information technology for students, teachers, parents, and community members. The program introduced educators to effective teaching methods and the integration of technology into Egyptian classrooms in its first year. The project equipped participating schools with robust technological infrastructure and facilitated an on-line community for educators to develop and exchange expertise, lessons and digital learning objects tied to the Egyptian Ministry of Education objectives. Lesson plans and learning objects developed by educators are uploaded to the Educators Resource Network (ERN), a website designed to exchange resources and expertise. |
