TECHNOLOGY INTO TEACHER TRAINING AND THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
- 1. TECHNOLOGY INTO TEACHER TRAINING AND THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TEACHERS DESIGN, IMPLEMENT AND ASSES LEARNING EXPERIENCES TO ENGAGE LEARNERS. THEY CONTINAULLY DEVELOP NEW THINGS
- 2. TABLE OF CONTENT KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY PERVASIVENESS OF TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION FOR ALL GOALS PRESENT AND FUTURE NATIONAL STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AIMS OF THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES TOWARDS TEACHER DEVELOPMENT AND STANDARDS RELATING TO THE ICT.
- 3. Knowledge society- can be defined as a human society, in which knowledge should bring justice, solidarity, democracy and peace. Knowledge can be used as a tool that can be a force for changing society as a whole. A society in which should provide collective and unbiased access to everyone. A society filled with people who are knowledgeable and people who have an eagerness to learn . A knowledge society views education as a tool that unbounds them from the shackles of poverty and it prunes individual who are liberated.
- 4. 1.KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY AGENDA knowledge- its understanding of or information about a subject Society - a large group of people who live together in an organized way, making decisions about how to do things and sharing the work that needs to be done.
- 5. PICTURE 1 it’s a society that provides information to everyone A society which views education as important and in which knowledge should bring justice, solidarity, democracy and peace.
- 6. A knowledge-based society refers to the type of society that is needed to compete and succeed in the changing economic and political dynamics of the modern world. We are changing as a society and becoming a more educated and we rely on the knowledge of our citizens, and becoming more knowledgeable as we progress.
- 7. In order to build a Knowledge Society it needs to be incorporated with Information communication technology. It means in the process of teaching and learning technology must included, it must become an essential tool in the classroom. Including technology in in the classroom is very essential, it can be used as a tool. It facilitates better learning and teaching
- 8. Teachers need to develop new aptitudes in order to be fully qualified to teach in the knowledge society, because one needs to understand that it is a changing society and we need teachers who are trained and fully compatible with the knowledge society. In order to arrive in a knowledge society we need new knowledge that cannot diminish to traditional disciplines. We need knowledge that cannot destroy our traditional disciplines because we are a society that has a rich sense of culture and technology.
- 9. 2.PERVASINESS OF TECHNOLOGY Pervasive computing is a circumstance, that’s how one can describe it. It is the union of wireless technology and electronics and even internet is included. The pervasive computing it is also called as omnipresent computing, the word omnipresent it means exits. If technology users carefully consider both the advantages and shortcomings of technology use, they are more likely to maximize the gains and minimize the losses.
- 10. EXAMPLES OF PERVASINESS TECHNOLOGY
- 11. In our daily lives, the day to day activities that one must accomplish, when one tends to look at it we need technology to accomplish those duties. Mobile phones are a pervasive platform for opportunistic sensing of behaviours and opinions. People would rather use technology rather than using anything else because it make s things more easier and achievable than doing it any other way.
- 12. In the educational context we need to understand that things are changing, learners are more knowledgeable and as teachers its our duty as in teachers to assist especially in classroom level When students read from the screen instead of from a hard copy of a book, what are the gains and losses? What about when they take classes online instead of face to face? Or when they use Internet resources instead of those from the library?
- 13. 3.EDUCATION FOR ALL GOALS Education is very important and must be seen as one of crucial aspects that a country can invest in. In order to assuage and make the living conditions of the society better we need to invest in education and see it as a long term aspect.

- 18. As much as education is important in our daily lives, Technology, Science and Mathematics are very much important and as a country we are faced with a shortages regarding this subjects. The problem facing the country is that we are faced with a shortage of teachers who are qualified to teach those subject. That is why it is very important for teachers to continually upgrade their skills and equip themselves with necessary skills.
- 19. Universities play a very crucial purpose in our lives because as individual it equips us and it serves us with three purposes: 1. They train and educate people in order to prepare them for the world of work they give them the necessary skills. 2. Secondly they are most leading institutions in producing knowledge and also creating new knowledge, they also set norms and standards for the society. 3. Thirdly higher education provides prospects for social mobility and makes us become all equal. That is why it is important for learners to have access to quality education from the beginning of their schooling till university level.
- 20. 4.PRESENT FUTURE NATIONAL STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES. The main aim of the department of education , by the year 2015 they aim to provide free education for all citizens.

- #7: Knowledge can be used as a tool that can be a force for changing society as a whole. A knowledge-based society refers to the type of society that is needed to compete and succeed in the changing economic and political dynamics of the modern world. It refers to societies that are well educated, and who therefore rely on the knowledge of their citizens to drive the innovation, entrepreneurship and dynamism of that society’s economy.
- #8: . In order to build Knowledge society it can be incorporated with ICT (Information communication technology). It means that technology needs to be included in the process of teaching and learning< it must be used as an essential tool in the classroom. Technology is one essential tool because it facilities better learning and teaching in the classroom. It provides better understanding for the learner and with the teacher present learners become more comfortable.

Mobile phones are a pervasive platform for opportunistic sensing of behaviours and opinions.
- #13: When students read from the screen instead of from a hard copy of a book, what are the gains and losses? What about when they take classes online instead of face to face? Or when they use Internet resources instead of those from the library? If technology users carefully consider both the advantages and shortcomings of technology use, they are more likely to maximize the gains and minimize the losses.
- #14: In order for a country to develop, education is very important and must be seen as one of crucial aspects that a country can invest in. in order to assuage and make the living conditions of the society better we need to invest in education and see it as a long term aspect.
