EDUC 103: TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING
AND LEARNING 1
BASIC
CONCEPTS
TECHNOLOGY
Technology is a mix of
process and product
used in the application of
knowledge.
INFORMATION
AND
COMMUNICATION
Information and
Communication Technology
Literacy or ICT Literacy
describes a learner’s ability
to “adopt, adapt and use
digital devices, applications
and services”.
EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY
Educational Technology
refers to the use of
technology in teaching and
learning. it includes both
the non-digital and digital.
TECHNOLOGY,
MEDIA AND
LEARNING
Technology, media, and learning is
the use of technology and media to
enhance the learning experience. It
can include the use of virtual
classrooms, digital media, and other
technologies to help students learn.
INSTRUCTIONAL
TECHNOLOGY
Instructional technology is the theory
and practice of design, development,
utilization, management, and
evaluation of the processes and
resources for learning (Association for
Educational Communications and
Technology, Seels, B.B. & Richey, P. C.
1994).
TECHNOLOGY
TOOLS
Technology Tool is an instrument used
for doing work. It can be anything
that help you accomplish your goal
with the use of technology. These
technology tools can be classified as:
(a) Data/Calculation tools. Examples: spreadsheets, Excels,
Sketchpads, probability constructor

(b) Design tools. These are used to make models and

creating and building. Included here are Family Tree Maker,
GollyGee, and Crazy Machines among others designs,

(c) Discussion tools. There are 4 different approaches that

utilize discussion and interaction in the Internet. These are
threaded discussion forum, Blogging, Live chat and Video
Teleconferencing, Netiquette and Safety on the Net.
(d) Email tools. Emails are great communication tools for
sending messages, photographs, videos and other files. It
allows you to reach out to others around the world.
Examples are google mail, Ymail, Yahoo mail and many
more.

(e) Handheld devices, Handheld devices have become

popular among learners. These include Personal Digital
Assistants, global positioning system, (GPS) and geographic
information system (GIS) in the classroom, Portable
electronic keyboards, Digital Cameras, Mobile phones, Palm,
Handheld computers,
ROLES OF ICT
IN TEACHING
AND LEARNING
 TECHNOLOGY AS A
•
TUTOR
Together with the teacher, technology can
support the teacher to teach another
person or technology when programmed
by the teacher can be a tutor on its own.
The teacher will simply switch on or switch
off radio programs, television programs or
play DVDs, or CDs that contain educational
programs. There are on-line tutorial
educational programs, too.
 TECHNOLOGY AS A
• TEACHING
Like a tutor, TOOL
technology is a teaching tool,
but can never replace a teacher. This is
like the handyman, which is just there to
be reached. Like any other tool, it is being
used to facilitate and lighten the work of
the teacher. It will be good if the teacher
can also create or develop technology
tools that are needed in the classroom.
 TECHNOLOGY AS A
• LEARNING
While the teacher utilizesTOOL
technology as
the tool for teaching, likewise it is an
effective tool for learning. As a learning
tool, it makes learning easy and effective.
It can produce learning outcomes that call
for technology-assisted teaching. Even the
teachers who are teaching can utilize
similar tools for learning. As a learning
tool, it is very interesting that even the
elderly use these tools for learning for life.
 FOR TEACHERS AND
TEACHING
1. Technology provides enormous support to the
teacher as the facilitator of learning: Technology
transforms passive classrooms into interactive
spaces using tools like audio-visual aids, smart
classrooms, and e-learning platforms, increasing
learners' engagement and attention.

2. Technology as modernized the teaching

learning environment: Teachers benefit from
structured instructional materials and various
technology-driven resources that can be used for
remediation or enrichment activities.
 FOR TEACHERS AND
TEACHING
3. Technology improves teaching learning process
and ways of teaching: Technology supports
diverse teaching strategies, catering to various
learning styles and aligning with Howard
Gardner's multiple intelligence theory, making
teaching more effective.

4. Technology opens new fields in educational

researches: Technology simplifies research,
testing, and evaluation processes through digital
tools, big data, and reference retrieval systems,
improving efficiency and accuracy.
 FOR TEACHERS AND
TEACHING
5. Technology adds to the competence of teachers
and inculcates scientific outlook: Technology
fosters scientific outlooks and helps teachers
quickly and accurately access learning theories
and intelligence research online.

6. Technology supports teacher professional

development: Technology provides alternative
avenues for teachers’ continuous professional
growth through online training and improved
delivery systems for trainers and facilitators.
 2. Technology enhances
learners' communication
skills through social
interactions
This is commonly described as the
transmittal of information from one person
to another as single individual or groups of
individuals According to Shirly (2003) in
Egbert (2009), there are three basic
communication patterns:
a. Point to point two-way or one-to-one like Internet
chat, phone conversation or even face-to-face
conversation.

b. One-to-many outbound like a lecture, or television.

There is no social interaction.

c. Many-to-many like group discussion, buzz session,

heads together. This kind of interaction provides
opportunities for social interaction.
a. Point to point two-way or one-to-one like Internet

c. Many-to-many like group discussion, buzz session,

heads together. This kind of interaction provides
opportunities for social interaction.
For this particular role, what are the benefits derived
from technology- supported communication?

a. Enables any teacher to guide the learners virtually

and making learning unlimited because communication
and social interaction go beyond a school day or a
school environment

b. Enhances students' freedom to express and exchange

ideas freely without the snooping eyes of the teacher
face to face
c. Enables learners to construct meaning from joint
experiences between the two or more participants in
communication

d. Help learners solve problems from multiple sources

since there is limitless sources of information that the
teacher can direct or refer to the learners

e. Teaches learners to communicate with politeness,

tasking turns in sending information and giving
appropriate feedback
f. Enhances collaboration by using
communication strategies with wider
community and individuals in a border less
learning environment

g. Develops critical thinking, problem solving

and creativity throughout the communication

 3. Technology upgrades
learners’ higher-order
thinking skills’ critical
thinking,
Critical thinkingproblem-solving and
is part of the cluster of higher
creativity
order thinking skills. It refers to the ability to
interpret, explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and
self-regulate in order to make good decisions.
With the use of technology, one will be able to
evaluate the credibility of the source, ask
appropriate questions, become open-minded,
defend a position on an issue and draw
conclusion with caution.
a. Ask the right questions. Most often teachers
ask questions to find out if the students can
simply repeat the information from the lesson.
Although these are necessary questions like
what, who, when and where, these do not
develop critical thinking. Critical thinking
questions should ask for clarity, accuracy,
precision, relevance, depth, breadth and logic.
b. Use critical thinking tasks with appropriate
level of challenge. Teachers should be mindful of
the readiness of the students. Students who have
higher ability may find the task too easy, thus
getting bored early, while those who have low
ability may find the task too difficult. Thus, there
is a need to have activities that are appropriate
for the learners. These can be determined by
interview, observations and other forms to
determine the level of readiness.
What are some simple ways
that teachers should do?

1. Vary the questions asked.

2. Introduce new
technologies.
 CREATIVITY
Creativity is characterized as
involving the ability to think flexibly,
fluently, originally, and elaborately
(Guildford, 1986 & Torrance, 1974 in
Egbert, 2009). Flexibly means able to
use many points of view while fluently
means able to generate many ideas.
Originally implies being able to
generate new ideas and elaborately
means able to add details.
Seven Creative Strategies (Osborn, 1963). These have been
simplified into fewer categories. To be creative, one can use
any of these strategies.
1. Substitute - Find something else to replace to do what it
does.

2. Combine - Blend two things that do not usually go

together.

3. Adapt - Look for other ways this can be used.

4. Modify/Magnify/ Minify - Make a change, enlarge,

decrease.
5. Put to another use - Find other uses.

6. Eliminate - Reduce, remove.

7. Reverse - Turn upside-down, inside

out, front-side back.
Further, teachers can do the following to develop and enhance
critical thinking, problem solving and creativity. As a future
teacher, try these suggestions.
1. Encourage students to find and use information from variety
of sources both on-line and off-line.
2. Assist students to compare information from different
sources.
3. Allow student to reflect through different delivery modes ke
writing, speaking, or drawing.
4. Use real experiences and material to draw tentative
decisions.
5. Involve students in creating and questioning assessment.
