LESSON 1: MEANING OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

Objectives:
This lesson aims to relate educational technology to instructional technology, technology integration, and educational
media. At the end of the lesson you will be able to:
1. define educational technology; and
2. explain the relationship between educational technology to instructional technology, technology integration, and
educational media.

Introduction
In this fast changing world where technology becomes an important tool in communication, media, and research. But,
many people think that technology refers to machines such as computers, TV, videos, and the like1. In education,
technology is such a broad term where it is not only refer to those machine mentioned, but this also refers to how this
technology will be used in teaching and learning process. In this lesson, you will be able to learn the meaning of
educational technology and its relationship to instructional technology, technology integration, and educational media.

Abstraction
Understanding the meaning of educational technology does not only start in defining what technology is all about.
Educational technology is more than just a hardware and a software. It is the study of ethical practice of facilitating
learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and
resources. There are so many educators that give the meaning of educational technology.
One of the definitions tells as that it is the implementation of appropriate tools, techniques, or processes that facilitate
the application of senses, memory, and cognition to enhance teaching practices and improve learning outcomes.
Educational technology is based on theoretical knowledge from different disciplines plus experiential knowledge from
educational practice. Educational Technology is a complex, integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas,
devices, and organizations for analyzing problems and devising, implementing, evaluating, and managing solutions to
those problems. With the definitions above, we can say that educational technology is a very broad term. It does not
only talk about computer, projectors, TV, and other electronic materials, but it also talks about how are these tools be
used in the teaching and learning process. Further, educational technology also means facilitation of human learning
through systematic identification, development, organization, and utilization of full range of learning resources and
through the management of these processes. Educational technology is also associated with other terms. These terms
include technology in education, instructional technology, technology integration, and educational media Let us define
how these terms are related to educational technology.

Technology in Education it refers to the use of technological hardware in education. It is not only limited to how
technology is used in the teaching and learning. This also refers to the application technology to any those processes
involved in operating the institutions which house the educational enterprise.

Instructional Technology it refers to those aspects of educational technology that are concerned with instruction as
contrasted to design and operations of educational institutions. Further, this also refers to the systematic way of
designing, carrying out, and evaluating the total process of learning and teaching in terms of specific objectives.

Technology Integration is the use of learning technology to introduce, reinforce, supplement, and extend skills.
Basically this is the use of technology to enhance and support educational environment, teacher instruction, and student
learning.

Educational Media is all means of communication that includes prints, graphics, animations, audios, and audiovisuals.
In education, this also refers to the channels of transferring of information to learners and also those gadgets and
machines that are needed in transmitting information to learners.

LESSON 2: UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

Objectives:
This lesson aims to help you to understand the usefulness of technology in the teaching and learning process. At the end
of the lesson you will be able to:
1. select appropriate technology to be used in teaching and process; and
2. trace the history of educational technology.

Introduction
Understanding the how technology works in education and how are these will be used in the teaching and learning
process are very difficult especially in teaching and in this digital age. That is why it is very important that as teachers
in the future where technology is continuously developing, it is very important that we have to keep updated on what is
going on. In this lesson, you will be able to learn how to choose appropriate technology to be used in the teaching and
learning process and be able to trace back the history of educational technology.

Abstraction
Technology plays an important role in the teaching and learning process. Even before, if we can trace back the history
of educational technology we can say that it is already being used to help the teachers teach their learners. But first let
us define what technology is. Technology is defined as the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of
human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment. Therefore, when
we say technology we are not only referring to different devices like computers, cellphone, and the like. Even books,
chalkboards, and teaching strategies can be considered as technology, why? Because these are application of scientific
knowledge like research. Now let us trace back when does technology is being used inside the classroom.

The diagram below shows the history of Educational Technology.

Since you already have an idea

on the development of the
educational technology,
this time you will be
learning on how to select
appropriate technology to be used for teaching and learning process.

The following are the 7 steps for choosing the best technology tools for teaching
(Rhode, 2014).

It is not enough that you only

knew the steps on selecting the
right technology tool
for teaching, here is the guide to select technology tools for classroom use (Hulon, 2013)

Since you have the guide in selecting appropriate technology for teaching and learning process. In the succeeding
module you will be introduced to the different technology that can be used in classroom teaching.

LESSON 3: ROLES OF TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

Objectives:
This lesson aims to determine the roles of technology for the teaching and learning.
At the end of the lesson you will be able to:
1. differentiate traditional points of view and constructivists point of view; and
2. discuss the different roles of technology in teaching and learning in constructivist perspective.

Introduction
In the previous lesson we have learned the importance of the use of technology in the teaching and learning. The use of
technology can be done two ways whether it can be used in a traditional classroom or in a constructivist classroom. But
how are these two different from each other? You will be able to find out as you go along with this module.

In this lesson, you will be able to differentiate the role of technology in traditional point of view and constructivist point
of view and also you will be able to discuss the different roles of technology in teaching and learning in constructivist
perspective.

Abstraction
Teaching and learning process can be both done either in traditional way of teaching or in a constructivist way of
teaching. These two methods are still effective in delivering lesson to learners. In the traditional perspective in teaching
and learning teacher is delivering the lesson in a traditional way like giving of lecture, showing a video, presenting
through a power point presentation.

In the first activity in this module, you will see two boxes, each of box a represent the traditional point view and
constructivist point of view in teaching. In the first box, what are characteristics do you think are present in the
scenario? Correct, the characteristics traditional point of view in teaching includes SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE,
KNOLEDGE IS EMBEDDED IN THE TECHNOLOGY, AND PRESENTER OF KNOWLEDGE.

The second box represent the constructivist point of view. What characteristics we can get from the scenario? The
 Suclayin, Arayat, Pampanga

characteristics include SERVES AS LEARNING TOOLS, ENGAGES LEARNERS, COOPERATIVE

LEARNING, ACTIVE, INTENTIONAL, AUTHENTIC, CONSTRUCTIVE, AND TEACHER FACILITATES
THINKING AND
KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION.

In the constructivist perspective, the following are the roles of technology in

teaching and learning:

1. Technology as a tool to support knowledge construction.

2. Technology as information vehicles for exploring knowledge to support learning-by- constructing.
3. Technology as context to support learning-by-doing.
4. Technology as context to support learning by conversing.
5. Technology as intellectual partner to support learning-by-reflecting.

Technology as a Tool to Support Knowledge Construction in this role, technology serves as a tool to represent the
beliefs, knowledge, and understanding of the learners. This is further used to produce organized multimedia which is
based on the beliefs, knowledge, and understanding of the students.

Technology as Information Vehicle for Exploring Knowledge to Support Learning- by- Constructing technology
is used as medium to help the students access the needed information. This is also used to compare different beliefs,
perspectives, and world view.

Technology as Context to Support Learning- by- Doing technology becomes a cognitive tool to represent and
simulate meaningful and real world problem, situations, and context. Further this is also used to represent the beliefs,
perspectives, arguments, and stories of others. And to define a safe and controllable problem space for student thinking.

Technology as Social Medium to Support Learning by Conversing in this role, technology is used to collaborate
with others. Moreover, this also serves as a tool for discussing, arguing, and building consensus among members of
community. And lastly, this also used to support discourse among knowledge-building communities.

Technology as Intellectual Partner to Support Learning by Reflecting, technology in this role is used to help the
learners express and represent what they know. This is also used to assist the learners in reflecting on what they have
learned and how they came to know it. Further, this also used to support learner’s internal negotiations and meaning
making. And, use for constructing personal representations of meaning for supporting mindful thinking.

With the two point of view in using technology in the teaching learning process, both can be very useful in teaching if it
used effectively. Researchers believed that technology increases students’ learning, understanding and achievement but
also enhances motivation to learn, encourages collaborative learning and supports the development of critical thinking
and problem solving skills.

With the proper use of technology in the classroom, the students will be able to control More of their own learning. This
also changes the classroom setting from teacher dominated classroom environment to student- centered classroom. In
addition, the use of technology in the classroom will also allow the teachers to do different teaching strategies and
teaching styles since students are different in terms of their readiness, interests, intelligences, and learning styles. And
lastly, this will also help the students to become lifelong learners.
