Durante séculos os serviços ofertados pelas bibliotecas estavam circunscritos as suas instalações físicas. Todavia, a revolução tecnológica iniciada no século XX ampliou a abrangência geográfica da biblioteca para fora de suas instalações, em especial, após a popularização das ferramentas de rede social. Neste contexto, a presente dissertação tem por objetivo e propor a utilização das ferramentas de redes sociais nas mesmas visando melhoria da comunicação e da qualidade dos serviços prestados a toda a comunidade acadêmica. Para alcançar tal objetivo questionários e entrevistas foram realizados com todos os chefes das oito bibliotecas que compõem o sistema de bibliotecas do CEFET/RJ. Os resultados demonstram que a utilização de redes sociais ainda é incipiente por diversos motivos. Propostas para fomentar a utilização das redes sociais foram apresentadas desde o estabelecimento de requisitos mínimos para a conexão com a internet até o treinamento das bibliotecárias(os). As redes sociais podem trazer uma maior visibilidade para o sistema de bibliotecas do CEFET/RJ o que pode aumentar a interação com toda a comunidade acadêmica e do entorno das unidades contribuindo positivamente para o papel social que o CEFET/RJ já realiza. O impacto de tais pontos podem ser explorados em trabalhos futuros. / Library is an important link in the process of teaching and learning at all educational levels present in student life from kindergarten to post-doctorate. For centuries the services offered by the libraries were confined to their physical facilities. However, the technological revolution started in the twentieth century expanded the geographic scope of the library out of its facilities, especially after the popularization of social networking tools. In this context, the present work aims to propose the use of social networking tools in the Libraries of the CEFET/RJ aimed at improving communication and the quality of services provided to the entire academic community. To achieve this objective questionnaires and interviews were conducted with all the heads of the eight libraries that make up the system of CEFET/RJ libraries. The results demonstrate that the use of social networks is incipient for several reasons. Proposals to encourage the use of social networks have been presented since the establishment of minimum requirements for the internet connection to the training of librarians (them). Social networks can bring greater visibility to the library system of the CEFET/RJ which can increase the interaction with the entire academic community and surrounding units contributing positively to the social role that the CEFET/RJ already done. The impact of such points can be explored in future work.

This thesis deals with Software as a Service (SaaS) and Web 2.0 as current trends related toInternet applications, and examines their use in travel industry. It appeared that SaaS is truly promising, especially thanks to on-demand CRM systems. And also that aspects of Web 2.0 bring commercial successes to web projects through indirect effects.

The current stage of the World-Wide-Web development called Web 2.0 has a considerable effect on the online communication both inside and among businesses. Social media is the strongest trend in this area. Integration of these media into the internal and external communication strategy has become essential for businesses in order to attain a sustainable competitive advantage. The main objective of this thesis is to map the possibilities and technologies of contemporary corporate online communication with regard to the development of Web 2.0. The next goal is to provide recommendations on their use with their possible advantages and disadvantages. The thesis is divided into three main parts. The first part deals with the concept of Web 2.0, main characteristics, technologies, and possible future development. The next part is devoted to specific tools and technologies for the internal and external online communication of businesses. The final part of the thesis is practical and has been written in collaboration with the Microsoft Corporation. The goal of this part of the thesis is to conduct a survey about the use of Internet communication by young people in the Czech Republic. Based on this survey recommendations are set out on how to effectively reach and communicate with this target group through the Internet.

There is a growing population of English language learners (ELLs) in elementary schools across the United States, and a current academic achievement gap between ELLs and non-ELLs. Researchers have found that integration of Web 2.0 tools has benefitted ELLs in language learning settings, outside of the general classroom. The research problem addressed in this study, based on TPACK, explored general education teachers' experiences with integrating Web 2.0 technology to support academic language acquisition by ELLs and revealed the successes and challenges the teachers encountered. The 6 female participants in this qualitative interview study were required to have experience (a) as a general education classroom teacher for at least 1 year (b) using Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom to support ELLs, and (c) teaching ELLs within the elementary classroom environment. Qualitative analysis of transcripts from 1-on-1 interviews involved a coding and recoding process, revealed that the teachers saw Web 2.0 technologies as effective in supporting student learning, building class community, and differentiating instruction. Challenges and needs they experienced included lack of access to technology, needs for professional development, and administrative support. Further research could explore integration of specific Web 2.0 technologies. Results of the study may lead to better informed decisions by policy makers and leaders about professional development, support needs, and language services. Addressing the technology needs of educators may potentially lead to equity for ELL students in general education settings that would empower ELLs to experience successful academic transitions through schooling, while decreasing the academic achievement gap.

21st century schools face significant challenges as they move towards providing opportunities for learners which recognize and build on their strengths and abilities. The process of supporting young people to develop the desire and the confidence to recognise personal potential and to manage their ongoing learning is a priority. Communication and collaboration are key to learners becoming informed active participants in their own learning and experiencing successful outcomes in today's society. Our old models of learning where pre packaged parcels of knowledge were delivered to students by teachers will no longer suffice. As we respond to the new meaning of knowledge in the 21st century and begin to view knowledge as an active process, it is clear that many of the top down structures and organisational practices present in New Zealand secondary schools need change. The idea of personalisation in order to support independent learners to reach their potential is a familiar one for many teachers and is one of the ideals which may have brought them into the teaching profession. However, the institutional contexts in which they operate can act not as a driving force for personalised learning but as a barrier to it. In seeking to find one possible way in which secondary school systems can be re shaped around the needs of the learner, this study examines the role of online mentoring with experts outside the school. This small scale qualitative study uses ethnographic methods to gather data from twelve secondary school year thirteen physical education students and their teacher as they engage in an eight week online project with expert sports coaches at Auckland University of Technology. Eleven of the students were boys. In examining the impact which online mentoring might have on this group of learners and their teacher, rich data was collected via web transcripts, observation, image data and interviews. The research findings reveal that students found a high degree of satisfaction with the process and placed value on having the opportunity to pursue personalised goals as they worked with mentors in a collaborative online environment. Teacher behaviour and practice underwent change in the project with the teacher becoming repositioned within the group in the role of learner. In a process where authoritarian approaches were replaced by collaborative group action and inquiry, students reported an enhanced ability to think deeply, to manage their own learning and to relate in highly skilled ways with others. Students' perceptions about the ways in which they were working were analysed using the New Zealand Curriculum Key Competencies. As students focused their inquiry past the level of curriculum goals and onto real world personal goals, several experienced a shift in perception concerning their own learning potential and expressed surprised at their own level of competence. The fact that eleven out of the twelve students were boys makes this shift in personal learning expectation worthy of further investigation in the quest for improving academic outcomes for boys. Finally, this study may have relevance for the ways in which the Key Competencies have meaning in secondary schools. The study demonstrated that the emergence of competencies such as self management and relating to others was assisted by changes in teacher behaviour and action. As authoritarian approaches were replaced by a collaborative model where independent learning with others was supported, learners began to exhibit the personal competencies described by the New Zealand Curriculum (2008). These competencies which include Thinking, Using Language, symbols and texts, Managing self, Relating to others and Participating and contributing occurred as a natural consequence of a learning model which was shaped to fit the learner; a personalised approach to learning with support from online mentors.
