2. Why integrate ICT? This century, the teacher needs to explore and demonstrate how ICTs can be used in her class to improve the quality of education for all, and better prepare the youth for the demands of the knowledge society and the global community. Testing innovative models of ICT use and of ICT-based teacher education teaching-learning methods, and curriculum/materials development in schools and in other places of learning are musts. Improving connectivity and access to the wealth of educational resources through the establishment of ICT centers in schools must be the concern of schools to meet this demand.
3. Philippines: Through professional development workshops, teachers learn how to create structured lessons and projects in specific learning areas, such as Science, Mathematics, English, Pilipino (the national language) and Social Studies. They also learn how to integrate lessons across different learning areas in the curriculum, and how to design inquiry-based activities, such as online treasure hunts, Webquests, and telecollaborative projects. Starting in 2003, curriculum integration training for teachers and post-training pedagogical support have been intensified. ( http://www.unescobkk.org/education/ict/v2/info.asp?id=17377)

9. Thoughts to Bring Home A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport .
10. As she would need to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies.
11. She sat down in an armchair, in the VIP room of the airport, to rest and read in peace.
12. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his magazine and started reading .
13. When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought: “ What a nerve! If I was in the mood I would punch him for daring!”
14. , For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn’t want to cause a scene.
15. When only one cookie remained, she thought: “ah... What this abusive man do now?” Then, the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half.
16. Ah! That was too much! She was much too angry now! In a huff, she took her book, her things and stormed to the boarding place.
17. When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to take her eyeglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened!
18. She felt so ashamed!! She realized that she was wrong... She had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her purse.
19. The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling angered or bitter.
20. ...while she had been very angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him. And now there was no chance to explain herself...nor to apologize.”
