Teaching and Learning with Technology: An Introduction

Requirement: A lesson plan exemplar with an appropriate integration of technology

Unit Outcomes:
1. Identify the competency standards of ICT for teaching and learning in pre-service
teacher education.

Introduction
If there is one thing that changed the world so fast, it is TECHNOLOGY. While there
exists technology in the past as non-digital technology, the current digital technology
has been a factor that shrunk the world and made it flat. It has provided a new
environment for learning, new ways teachers teach and also the new ways of how
learners learn. In the beginning, it has created a divide between the digital natives and
the digital immigrants. However, as the years go by, such divide has become narrower
and even blurred. This has led to the new educational revolution in teaching and
learning which has been triggered by technology and resulted to better learning
outcomes in the 21" century.

Lesson 1

ICT Competency Standards for Philippine Pre-Service Teacher Education

Lesson Outcomes:
1. Identify the competency standards of ICT necessary in teaching for pre service
teacher education.
2. Familiarize with the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers.

ICT Competency Standards (CHED-UNESCO) as provided in the 2017, Policy,

Standards and Guidelines (PSG) for Pre-service Teacher Education
The program outcomes for teacher education degrees clearly state that every future
teacher: "demonstrate proficiency in the development and utilization of Information,
Communication and Technology (ICT) resources in promoting quality teaching-learning
process”.
To ensure that the program outcomes related to ICT shall be achieved, competencies
were identified to be developed by every pre-service teacher (CHED - UNESCO,
Bangkok, 2009.)

The ICT Competency Standards is made up of seven domains. Each domain has a set of
competencies. The competencies are expressed in desired learning outcomes.
Becoming proficient in the different competencies will enable you to handle learners
of the 21" century in your future classroom.

student's diverse needs
2.3 Develop digital learning resources to enhance teaching-learning
2.4 Use ICT tools to develop 219 century skills: information media and
technology skills, learning and innovation skills, career skills and effective
communication skills
Domain 3: Pedagogy

7.2 Show positive attitude towards the use of technology tools

Likewise, the Department of Education issued Department of Education Order 42, s.

2017 mandating the use of the Philippine Professional Standard for Teachers (PPST) to
start with the Beginning Teachers who are the fresh graduates from the teacher
education program. The document includes: Show skills in the positive use of ICT to
facilitate teaching and learning and Show skills in the selection, development and use
of the variety of teaching learning resources including ICT to address learning goals.
These competency standards to learn and master will assure the 21" century learners
in your class of a more enjoyable, creative, innovative ways in teaching and learning.

ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T)

An international organization for educational technology called International Society
for Technology in Education (ISTE), established standards for both teachers and
students. These standards were also referred to in the development of the Philippine
ICT Competency standards which include the following:
Standard 1: Technology Operations and Concepts
This means that teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations
and concepts.
Standard 2: Planning and Designing Learning Environment and Experiences
This standard implies that teachers utilize the use of technology to plan and design
effective learning environments and experiences.
Standard 3: Teaching, Learning and Curriculum
Teachers should be mindful that in the implementation of curriculum plan, they have
to include strategies for applying technology to maximize student learning.
Standard 4: Assessment and Evaluation
Teachers apply technology to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation
strategies to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to
improve instructional practice and maximize student learning.

Standard 5: Productivity and Professional Practice

Teachers use technology to engage in on-going professional development and lifelong
learning in support of student learning, increase productivity and to build community
of learners,
Standard 6: Social, Ethical, Legal and Human Issues
Teachers understand the social, ethical, legal and human issues surrounding the use of
technology in support of student learning who come from diverse background, affirm
diversity, promote safe and healthy use of technology resources and facilitate access
to technology resources for all students!
Likewise, ISTE also developed standards needed for students. These standards will be
used as a guide by teachers to plan technology-based activities in which students
achieve success in learning, communication and life skills.
ISTE National Educational Technology Standards For Students (NETS-S)
From how technology teachers facilitate learners, outcomes of student learning should
indicate that the following standards have been complied with.
Standard 1: Creativity and Innovation
This standard will produce students who demonstrate creative thinking, construct
knowledge, develop innovative products and processes using technology from existing
knowledge.
Standard 2: Communication and Collaboration
This standard requires students to use digital media and environments to communicate
and work collaboratively to support individual learning and contribute to the learning
of others. This includes the use of variety of media and formats for global awareness
with learners from other cultures,
Standard 3: Research and Information Fluency
Students are expected to apply digital tools to gather, evaluate and use information
and plan strategies for inquiry. This standard expects the student to locate, organize,
analyze, evaluate, synthesize and ethically use information from a variety of sources
and media.
Standard 4: Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making
This standard expects the students to use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct
research, manage projects, solve problems and make informed decisions using
appropriate digital tools.
Standard 5: Digital Citizenship
It is required by this standard that every technology student becomes digital citizen
who demonstrates ethical and legal behavior, exemplified by the practice of safe, legal
and responsible use of information. Further, the student exhibits positive attitude
towards the support of technology for collaboration, learning and productivity as a
digital citizen.
Standard 6: Technology Operations and Concepts
Sound understanding of technology concepts, systems and operation is a standard that
students should comply with. They too, are expected to further transfer current
knowledge to learning of new technologies.

As pre-service teacher education students now, you will have to master the knowledge
and skills (Learning to Know) for the standards for students. However since you will
become teachers in the future, you should harness the same knowledge and skills to
become (Learning to Become) future teachers.
