I pray that I would trust in your
timing. I pray that I would have
patience and peace in the
waiting. Thank you for the gift
of life. Thank you for your
provision. Please help me trust
you more. Help me to wait on
You and to know confidently
 Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students will be
able to:
• To identify the role of computers in education
• To determine how computer technology
transform into an educative information and
communication technology (ICT) in education.
• To apply the computer- based technology in
teaching pedagogy.
Introduction:
Through computer technology:
1. Educators saw the amplification of learning
along computer literacy.
2. Much like reading, the modern student can
now interact with computer messages; even
respond to questions or to computer
commands.
3. Like writing, the learner can form message
using computer language or program.
 Soon computer-assisted instructed (CAI) was
introduced using the principle of individualized
learning through a positive climate that
includes realism and appeal with drill exercises
that uses color, music and animation.
But the evolving pace of innovation in
today’s information age is so dynamic that
within the first decade of the 21st century,
computer technology in education has matured
to transform into an educative information and
communicative technology (ICT) in education.
The rise of Personal Computer
(PC)
• With a computer in the classroom,
teachers are able to:
1. Demonstrate a new lesson, present
new material.
2. Illustrate how to use new programs
3. Show new websites
Comparison between Instructional Media
and Educational Communication Media

Instructional Media
 Consist of audio visual aids
 Examples are blackboard,
photo, film and video
Educational
Communication Media
 Comprise the media of
communication
 Using the print, film, radio
television or satellite means
of communication
 Uses of the Computer As Information
and Communication Technology

The Personal Computer

Communication method
 Internet
 Emails (text and video)
 Chartrooms
 Blog sites
 News services (print, video
clip)
 Music/movie/television room
Audiovisual media
 Multimedia
 Text, sound, graphics, chart, photos
 PowerPoint presentation
 CD, VCD, DVD player
 Educational software
 Educational websites (internet)
 School registration/ records accounting
 The programs (capabilities)
normally installed in an ordinary
modern PC
• Microsoft Office- program for
composing text, graphics, photos in letters
and articles, report, etc.
– PowerPoint- for preparing lecture
presentations
– Excel- for spreadsheets and similar graphic
sheets
Internet Explorer
–access to the internet
Yahoo or Google
– websites, emails, chat room, blog sites, news
service (print/video) educational software, etc.

Adobe Reader
– graphs/ photo composition and editing
- MSN- mail/chat messaging

- Windows Media Player

– CD, VCD player

- Cyber Power – DVD player

- Windows Media Player

– editing film/video
What is ICT
• ICT is an acronym
that stands for
information
communications
technology
 INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS
TECHNOLOGY
• ICT covers any product that will store,
retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive
information electronically in a digital form
• Diverse set of technology tools and resources
used to communicate and to create,
disseminate, store and manage information
• Include computers, the internet,
broadcasting technologies (radio and
television) and telephony
 How can ICTs help expand access to
education?

1. ICTs make possible asynchronous

learning or learning characterized by a
time lag between the delivery of
instruction and its reception by learners
1. Online course materials, for example, may be
accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
2. Teachers and learners no longer have t0 rely
solely on printed books and other materials in
physical media housed in libraries (and available
in limited quantities) for their educational needs

3. ICTs also facilitate access to resource persons

– mentors, experts, researchers, professionals,
business leaders and peers – all over the world.
 How can the use of ICTs help
improve the quality of education?
1. Motivating to learn
- ICTs such as videos, television and
multimedia computer software that
combine text, sound and colorful, moving
images can be used to provide challenging
and authentic content that will engage the
student in the learning process.
2. Collaborative Learning
- ICT supported learning encourages
interaction and cooperation among
students, teachers and experts
regardless of where they are
3. Creative Learning
– ICT supported learning promotes the
manipulation of existing information and
the creation of real-world products
rather than the regurgitation of received
information
4. Integrative Learning
- ICT enhanced learning promotes a
thematic, integrative approach to
teaching and learning
- This approach eliminates the artificial
separation between the different
disciplines and between theory and
practice that characterizes the
traditional classroom approach.
5. Evaluative Learning
– ICT enhanced learning is student-
directed and diagnostic
– Unlike static, text print-based
educational technologies, ICT-enhanced
learning recognizes that there are many
different learning pathways and many
different articulations of knowledge.
ICTs allow learners to explore and
discover rather than merely listen and
remember.
