Basic concepts on integrating technology in instruction
- 5. • 3. Exemplary Users & Technology users In exemplary classrooms, student’s use of computers is woven integrally into the patterns of teaching. a teacher would make his/her students play computer games as rest periods during classes. if the teacher merely teaches students the computer skills.
- 6. 4. Here are external manifestations of technology integration into instruction: There’s a change in the way are traditionally conducted. 5. The quality of instruction is improved to a higher level in such a way that could not have been achieved without educational technology classes.
- 7. 6. There is planning by the teacher on the process of determining how and when technology fits into the teaching-learning process. 7. The teacher sets instructional strategies to address specific instructional issues/problems.
- 8. 8. The use of technology provides the opening of opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/problems. 9. In sum, technology occupies a position(is a simple or complex way) in the instructional process.
- 9. 10. Helping Teachers Effectively Integrate Technology by: Learning the basics of using technology. Using technology to support instruction. Integrating new technology into classroom practice.
- 10. Discovering new uses for technology tools or designing projects that combine multiple technologies. Focusing on cooperative, project- based and interdisciplinary work with technology being just one of many tools that students use.
- 14. 12. There is actually nothing to be worry about for teachers who are still novices in technology integration because learning how would really take time. Technology integration into instruction is developmental and takes a gradual road to mastery and expertise. In time, a teacher can advance from basic integration to more complicated integrations.
- 15. 13. Levels of Integration Simple/basic integration In this example, there is no substantial change in the teaching-learning process from previous method. While technology helps, it does not play a pivotal role.
- 16. 14. Middle Level Integration. There is purposeful use of technology to support the learning areas. 15. To make technology a part of the learning and teaching process, the user of such technological devices should make them a source of reinforcement so that the objectives of educational objectives will be realized.
- 17. 16. Teachers should avoid the use of computers for other purposes such as for enjoyment like games and other exploitive use of technology. Students must be guided as to how to gather information and full utilization of the computers to aid them in performing assigned projects in connection with their subjects.
- 18. 17. The teacher must see to it that the students are given the necessary skills needed to make full use of the software to help them understand and realize the objectives of their curriculum assignments given should include the use of computers and software thus integrating them into the learning process.
