Educational technology 2 is concerned with

“Integrating Technology into Teaching and

Learning.”

Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning focused on introducing,

reinforcing, supplementing, extending the knowledge and skills of learners so that they become exemplary users of

educational technology.

Necessarily, Educational Technology 2 will involve a deeper understanding of the

computer as well as hands-on application of computer skills. But this is not to say that

the goal of the course is to promote computer skills. Rather, the course is

primarily directed at enhancing teaching-and-learning through technology

integration.

The course objectives are:To provide education in the use of

technology instruction by providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners;

To impart learning experiences in instructional technology-supported instructional planning;

To acquaint students on Information Technology or IT-related learning theories with the computer as a tutor;

To learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources;

To engage learners on practical technology integration issues including managing IT classrooms, use of the Internet for learning, cooperative learning through the use of information technology; and

To inculcate higher-level thinking and creativity among students while providing them knowledge of IT-related learning theories.

• It may be said, too, that the study of this course on integrating Information

Technology in instruction should not be considered as a formidable task, but rather as a refreshing and exciting study given the

idea that all learning should be fun.
