Além de continuar a preparar o site das aulas de TIC, li o artigo “Using computers to assess New Educational Goals” de Jim Ridgway e Sean McCusker publicadon na revista Asessment in Education (vol, 10, nº 3 de Novembro de 2003).
A destacar a referências às teorias de Vygotsky noemadamente no seguinte segmento:

“(...) education should focus on developing those intellectual tools which give individuals most powerover their environment, and that students should be made aware of the uselfulness of the tools they are acquiring, in order that they see the reason to invest intellectual effort in the acquisition of theese tools.” (p. 311)

Além disso, é sem dúvida útil a listagem dos novos objectivos educacionais:
– “promoting meta-knowledge”
– “using new representations and symbol systems”
– “finding rules and relationships”
– “constrained decision making”
– “handling complex data”
– “modelling complex processes and problems”.

Por fim, a visita à International Society for Tecnology in Education e a descoberta de que de 5 a 7 de Julho de 2006 irá realizar-se 27th annual National Educational Computing Conference. No Programa fica a referência: “

K–12 Teachers will…

• Learn to integrate technology standards across content and into assessment practices.
• Develop strategies to boost outcomes for traditionally underserved learners.
• Participate in active, authentic learning environments and share stories and resources.“
