ICT and the Development of a Cross-national Curriculum

摘要

The width of uses of ICT in education, society and in the workplace means that the development of basic skills needs to be considered within a multimedia as well as in a paper-based environment. ICT use is being considered a basic core skill. ICT provides opportunities for teachers and pupils to develop on-line projects, across national boundaries, raising issues about skills such as literacy and numeracy. This paper explores this, considers the implications of on-line cross-national project work, and concludes that overarching policies may be needed to shape and support such practices if pupils are to gain effectively in learning terms.
