6. Teaching in the IT society • Teachers of the 21 century should discontinue the habit of simple knowledge-transferring and must know and use the modern leaning equipments. • The most important targets of teaching are: - the forming of skills, competencies, proficiencies and attitudes, - the developing of the ability and possibility of lifelong learning, - the integration of different pieces of knowledge and learning in heterogeneous groups • Teacher: facilitator, tutor, moderator, coach • Internet = digital library: hyperlinks make the availability of teaching material easier and much quicker Hajdicsné Varga Katalin PhD Szücs Eszter Cecilia

7. Research I. • ‘Interactive mother tongue lessons’ in 2005 and ‘Reading on the Internet’ in 2007 to study ICT as linguist • The survey showed that in Hungary e-learning method and equipments are mainly used by the teachers of IT and sciences. • Hungarian language teachers are the least interested in digital curriculum design. • Based on own teaching experience we can assert that also Hungarian language teachers can use the Internet in the whole process of preparation, teaching and evaluation Hajdicsné Varga Katalin PhD Szücs Eszter Cecilia

8. How can Teachers of Hungarian literature and language use ICT tools? • Get information from different sources (thematic webpage systems etc.) • Get experience and advice of other institutes, teachers (panel discussions, e-mailing systems) • Select from online professional literature (libraries, journals, cyclopaedia, conferences etc.) or • Download teaching materials (tests, softwares etc.) This way we can eliminate mistakes and develop students’ creativity because programmes made together are meant to be their success as well. Hajdicsné Varga Katalin PhD Szücs Eszter Cecilia

9. Research II. • Examined the computer use habits of 1st and 2nd grade Teacher BA students at the University of Kaposvár, Faculty of Pedagogy, focusing on reading. • The most popular web activity is e-mailing followed by searching for information (searching for studies only 5,3%) • Their main purposes for using the computer are typing and word processing. • Using the Internet as base of information is just the 4th in line. • 5th is reading in connection with art and culture while the least used activities are reading compulsory or suggested professional literature. • Book based reading is more common than reading on the Internet. 95% of the students prefer it as free voluntary reading and 77% prefer it as the base for compulsory professional literature. They read them on the Internet only if they cannot find them in library or teachers tell them to do so. • Mostly young Hungarian authors are read on the Internet .

16. New development • Teaching software for shorthand-writing has been developed by Katalin, Hajdicsné Varga PhD. recently. It is a great success that in the whole process our students took a major part. • It can be used in distant teaching that is a new target at Kaposvár University. • Let me show you a short introduction about it. (Video) Hajdicsné Varga Katalin PhD Szücs Eszter Cecilia

17. Summary • Web 2.0 was a new development in 2004. First it was an umbrella term for the softwares that help content processing and connecting people but later it turned out that the spread of broadband Internet, readable Internet turning into writeable one, effects everyday communication and social life so much that it became a compound term. • Web 2.0 can be used not only in e-learning but in the whole teaching environment. • The users of the opportunities (video broadcasters, file changing, online communication equipments, online games etc.) are members of the net generation, who are still at school. They will not ask the opinion of the school whether they should or not join a virtual group. That is why teachers must learn about these equipments to motivate their students and learn through teaching. Hajdicsné Varga Katalin PhD Szücs Eszter Cecilia
