It is important for all educators, but especially those working in P-12 systems, to not only be prepared to navigate the digital terrain but to do so while taking a critical stance and encouraging students to critically examine and confront injustice. To that end, this article spotlights the work being done in a literacy methods course for preservice teachers. Consideration is given to efforts to engage preservice teachers in the integration of information communication technologies (ICTs) in ways that develop critical consciousness while promoting social justice and equity.

- Ardigo's interest for the topic of the opportunities offered by the development of information communication technologies in the field of health services is referred to the question of the overcoming of the crisis of "transation" between welfare system and life's worlds. Moruzzi, who has developed Ardigo's approach on this topic, writes that Internet may be the link between micro and macro if it will be able to differentiate itself by the national health service and to create, thanks to the development of new technologies, a new cooperation between public and private (profit and non profit) actors at the service of the sick person (subsidiarity). In the Introduction to Moruzzi's book, instead, Ardigň says that the development of the social networks of care is more important than the development of new technologies.Keywords: development, welfare system, health service, technologies, social networks, Ardigň.Parole chiave: sviluppo, sistema di welfare, servizio sanitario, tecnologie, reti sociali, Ardigň.

Knowledge Intensive

A non-profit association of Russian industry companies in a cluster is a rather complex form of grouping loosely connected companies to obtain government support. Knowledge-intensive and high-tech companies are clustered around the world, and the respective industries always use public investment. However, it is in Russia that there are two additional motives for such associations. Firstly, it is the dominant initiative of the subjects of state power – federal and regional. The growth of the state’s presence in various sectors of the economy for knowledge-intensive industries is in the form of the creation of priority development zones and technological clusters. Secondly, this is the desire of business to obtain additional guarantees of safe operation and preferences in government tenders and orders. Russian President Vladimir Putin has identified the implementation of the Digital Economy state program as one of the development priorities. Those regions that will be among the leaders in the implementation of modern digital solutions will be able to achieve success in all sectors of the economy, science, social sphere, and human development. All this contributes to the fact that the cooperation of IT industry companies with educational institutions of the region and with the support of the state can become a driving force for the implementation of national projects in the region and, most importantly, become a driver for the development of human capital in our region, which is the most important asset. And this confirms the name of the development strategy of the Kaluga region «man-center of investment». The article discusses the origins of the formation of the cluster of information communication technologies in the Kaluga region. Studied the current state of affairs in which non-profit education functions. Those aspects of its activities that need revision for the successful continuation of the cluster’s activities are noted. And also outlined the ways of transforming the cluster in particular and the policy of the Kaluga region in relation to the IT sphere in general on the basis of current and future changes in the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Sociocultural Background

Abstract Along with mastery of the grammar and vocabulary of a given language, contemporary students are also expected to acquire intercultural communicative competence (ICC), i.e., the ability to use the language efficiently with regard to the sociocultural background of the communicative situation. This requirement should also be reflected in FL course-books, which are considered to be fundamental didactic tools in FL education, even in an era of information communication technologies. Therefore, the aim of the present paper is to report the results of the research focused on the investigation of intercultural component in the New Opportunities Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate course-book packages. To validate the findings of the content analysis, as the main research method, the method of triangulation was used, i.e., the results of the course-book package analyses were compared with those of observation and interview analyses. The findings of the research revealed that in the investigated course-book packages only some aspects of the intercultural component could be considered relevant because they were suitably treated.

Global Indicators

In an environment of globalisation and rapidly expanding deployment of interactive digital communication, this paper takes a complex systems approach to the mapping of large scale global indicators onto electronic flows of information and intent. It argues that democracy is being transformed by online technologies, and that governments which embrace and encourage citizen inputs and monitoring of public information can establish vital groundwork for more effective forms of global governance. Growing awareness of issues that transcend jurisdictions makes such transformations both necessary and increasingly acceptable. The prism for this bird’s eye view is the Australian Government’s evolution in its uses of information communication technologies (ICTs) for citizen engagement.
