An integral part of the computerisation of
the educational system in Israel is the introduction of ICT into the
schools of the Arab sector. More than 300 of the 550 schools of the

students. In the last two year much has been done to connect the
schools to the Internet. Here we bring some of the Internet services
that have been developed in the Arab language offering a rich variety
of activities and resources.
