Basic Concepts on Integrating Technology in Instruction

Technology Integration

Integrating technology with teaching means the

use of learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend

skills.

Phases of Technology IntegrationIntroducing

External Manifestations of Technology Integration into Instruction

There’s a change in the way classes are

traditionally conducted.

The quality of learning is improved

to a higher level.

Quality of learning

Without technology integration

With technology integration

There is planning by the teacher on the

process of determining how and when technology fits

into teaching-learning process.

The teacher sets instructional

strategies to address specific instructional issues or problems.

The use of technology provides the opening

of opportunity to respond to these

instructional issues or problems.

In sum, technology occupies a position in the instructional

process.

Simple Integration

There is no substantial change in the teaching-learning

process from the previous method. While technology

helps, it does not play a pivotal role.

Example:1st method - Showing still photos or

pictures in the class.2nd method – Scanning pictures for a

computer projection to make it larger.

Middle Level Integration

There is purposeful use of technology to support key

learning areas.

Example:Allowing students to view multimedia

presentations and videos in relation to the lesson to be presented.

Higher level Integration

Technology is the central instructional tool.

Example:In campus journalism class, the students

are asked to create newsletter using the publisher.

Activity:1. Create a visual representation of an

technology-integrated instruction.

2. In two-way column table, differentiate technology-integrated instruction from the traditional instructional process.

Reflection:1. What are your ideas about students

spending off school time playing computer games in computer cafes?

2. While educational technology 2 is not about teaching computer skills, do you believe adequate hands-on computer skills are necessary to put technology integration into practice? Provide reasons.

STATE-OF-THE-ART APPLICATION PRACTICES

Lesson 5

Educational Trends Present-day students have become

computer literate Teachers have deemphasized rote

learning Student assessment includes

measurement of higher level learning outcomes

Recent teaching-learning models paved the way for instructional approaches

Obstacles to IT pedagogical Practice

The thinking that the use of computer is time-consuming and expensive.

The danger of a technology-centered classroom.

The fear that computers may soon replace computers.

Suggestion to avoid obstacles of ET integration to instruction

Proper time management between preparation and application of instructional tools.

Wise technical advice Trainings and seminars in the

use of ET Teachers need to acquire

computer skills
