      Using the 
      computer and the Internet 
      The modern 
      computer has become a personal tool that facilitates education, and leads 
      to a real change in the basic technological processes. The use of the 
      computer in the official education system is still limited to school 
      administration purposes, or as a course material itself. 
        
      At 
      Schoolarabia.com’s, we aim to use the computer to support and enrich 
      school curricula, and to create dialogue between teachers and learners. 
      This protocol moves us towards an effective Arabic electronic network. 
         
      When the net 
      is most effective, it functions as a learning environment without borders. 
      This virtual environment provides learners with scientific knowledge, 
      while assisting them in recognizing the suitability and novelty of web 
      sites contents. This knowledge encourages Arab learners to play a 
      productive role in the global network, rather than being consumers only. 
        
      There are many 
      exceptional teachers preparing fascinating, motivating, and relevant 
      materials, but only a select few learner’s benefit from that each year. 
      While no interactive learning and teaching environment can replace or 
      reduce the impact of a genuine human educational expertise, but on the 
      contrary, technology’s success is measured by the significance of the 
      input and methods developed by educators themselves. 
       
        
      
      Schoolarabia.com’s, by using the Internet through the interactive 
      learning/teaching environment, will enable the future teacher to lecture 
      in a wide classroom, which in this case will be as wide as the Arab world. 
        
      
      Educational 
      Reform 
      The world is 
      in the midst of a transitory period, which requires an informed 
      understanding of radical changes in our financial and social priorities.
      
       
        
      The connection 
      between computer technology and telecommunication has changed basic 
      technology processes in different sectors of human activity and its 
      prospects. Also, the struggle between international forces and local 
      interests constitutes a political and educational challenge. So, 
      educational reform has become a priority to support the needs of knowledge 
      economy, and also to embody the values of the learning society. Since 
      knowledge, has become the most important source of social power; 
      development and education have intertwined to the point of being 
      synonymous. 
       
        
      Educational 
      reform is a tool in society's hands; it is an aide in meeting the 
      challenge to implement social and humanitarian values into any learning 
      paradigm. Educational reform must also confront such significant 
      international issues as democracy, environment, and population education.
      
       
        
      But the 
      question remains: How do we best use education as a tool to create the 
      means for change and the formation of the future status of the whole 
      educational process?
