TECHNOLOGY 2 –
CONCERNED WITH
“INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY
INTO TEACHING AND
LEARNING.”
 THIS COURSE INTENDS TO HELP OUR
TARGET LEARNERS TO WAVE
TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING, WITH
SOFTWARE (COMPUTER PROGRAMMED
LEARNING MATERIALS) BECOMING A
NATURAL EXTENSIONS OF THEIR
LEARNING TOOLS.
 SPECIFICALLY IT FOCUSED ON
INTRODUCING, REINFORCING,
SUPPLEMENTING, AND EXTENDING
THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO
LEARNERS SO THAT THEY CAN BECOME
EXEMPLARY USERS OF EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY.
 EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 2 WILL
INVOLVE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
COMPUTER AS WELL AS HANDS-ON
APPLICATION OF COMPUTER SKILLS. BUT,
THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE GOAL OF THE
COURSE IS TO PROMOTE COMPUTER SKILLS.
RATHER, THE COURSE IS PRIMARILY
DIRECTED AT ENHANCING TEACHING-
LEARNING THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION.
 THE COURSE AIMS TO INFUSE
TECHNOLOGY IN THE STUDENT-
TEACHERS TRAINING, HELPING THEM
TO MEET AND ADAPT TO RAPID AND
CONTINUING TECHNOLOGICAL
CHANGES, PARTICULARLY IN THR
THRIVING GLOBAL INFORMATION AND
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
ENVIRONMENT.
 THE COURSE IS PRIMARILY INTENDED
FOR THE USE OF STUDENT TEACHERS, IT
CAN ALSO BE OF GREATUSE TO
PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS, SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHER EDUCATORS,
AND IN FACT ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED
ON HOW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CAN
BE USE TO IMPROVE NOT ONLY
INSTRUCTION BUT, THE SCHOOL
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND
CURRICULUM.
THE STUDY OF THIS COURSE ON
INTEGRATING INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY IN INSTRUCTIONS
SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS A
FORMIDABLE TASK, BUT RATHER AS
A REFRESHING AND EXCITING
STUDY GIVEN THE IDEA THAT ALL
LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN.
