National governments and multi-national institutions are spending
unprecedented amounts of money on ICT on improving the overall
quality of school learning, and schools are increasingly expected
to prepare young people for a global economy in which
inter-cultural understanding will be a priority. This book explores
and analyzes the ways ICT has been used to promote citizenship and
community cohesion in projects that link together schools in
different parts of the world. It examines the theoretical framework
behind such work and shows the impact of initiatives in the Middle
East, Canada, the USA, England, Northern Ireland, the Republic of
Ireland and elsewhere in the European Union. This is a critical
examination of the technologies that have been deployed, the
professional development that has been provided and an evaluation
of what constitutes good practice, particularly in terms of what
collaborative learning really means for young people. Many of these
initiatives have enabled young people to develop more positive
relations with culturally and religiously different neighbours, but
this work has just begun. Continuing international tensions over
matters of identity and faith require that we better understand the
political context for such work so that we might shape future
directions more deliberately and more clearly.
