TEACHING AND LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGY

Module 2 in SSE 204 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2

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 21st century.
There may be so many arguments and questions why the pre-service teachers should be equipped with
these new teaching pedagogies with the use of ICT. As a good start, please click on the video to have a
better understanding why everyone in the academe should have to possess such skills and answer the
questions that follow.

Technology continues to change the way we live, work, and play. Technology is also changing
education in two ways: first, by offering new resources to engage students in learning, and second, by
giving them an opportunity to learn about new technological fields, leading to jobs and to a greater
understanding of how these fields affect the world. Technology can be a great addition to the classroom.
It is most successful when used to improve student learning and help students reach their goals. You
may get ideas about using different technologies from a variety of sources, including colleagues who
have had success or from a particular resource made available by your college. The range of
technologies is great and increases every day. Ultimately it will be up to you to evaluate the potential
effectiveness of a particular technology for your course and your students.

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 a
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.
