Abstract

O aparecimento de novas tecnologias educativas conduz a novos paradigmas educativos que se projectam tanto em contextos formais como informais. A comunicação pedagógica sofre profundas mutações pondo em evidência novos desafios que denunciam modelos pedagógicos obsoletos. Tais alterações exigem mudanças imperativas nos estilos comunicacionais e no perfil de professor/aluno. Apesar das TIC albergarem algumas das mais fortes promessas de construção de uma sociedade sem desigualdades sociais, e apontarem renovadas possibilidades de melhor integração social e, consequentemente, uma melhor participação, inúmeros fenómenos de sinal contrário continuam a despontar em sociedades altamente industrializadas e tecnologicamente avançadas. Apesar de tudo, parece evidente que as TIC podem tomar direcções imprevistas contribuindo para a exclusão social, gerando ou acentuando novas desigualdades. Cabe à escola assegurar a utilização das TIC pelos seus alunos por forma a que se sintam participes e, desta feita, garantir que todos possam aprender e construir a Sociedade do Conhecimento. Procura-se, assim, lançar um breve conjunto de projecções sobre a integração das TIC na educação e apresentar uma experiência na plataforma Moodle que poderá ser o embrião de mobilizações futuras nas escolas, convertendo-se num verdadeiro factor de inclusão e de afirmação de uma cidadania plena desde os primeiros anos de escolaridade. Technology and citizenship The appearance of the new educational technologies led to new educational paradigms that are projected as formal or informal contents. The pedagogical communication suffers deep changes, showing new challenges that report obsolete pedagogical models. Such alterations claim compulsory changes in the communicational styles and in the teacher/pupil profile. Even though there are some promises in society with renewed possibilities of better social integration and, consequently, a better participation, many adverse signal phenomenon keep happening in high industrialized and technologically, advanced societies. Despite all, of this it seems clear that the ICT can take unpredictable directions contributing to the social exclusion, making new deep inequalities. It’s a school duty to assume the ICT use by pupils in such a way that they feel like they are participating and so, everyone can learn and build the knowledge in society together. We look forward to bringing out a brief reflection set about by ICT education integration and present an experience with Moodle platform that may be the starting point in future initiatives, becoming a real inclusion factor and the full citizenship statement, since the early school levels.

In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
