Module 1: Introduction to Technology for Teaching and Learning

Introduction
Technology offers tremendous promise for student learning and has ignited the imagination of those who are
interested in bringing about revolutionary gains in the achievement of all students. On the path to personalizing
learning in this new normal, technology empowers students by giving them ownership of how they learn, making
education relevant to their digital lives and preparing them for their futures. With technology and access to
resources beyond classroom walls, students are inspired to become problem-solvers, critical thinkers,
collaborators, and creators. Where technology has been successfully integrated into classrooms, students develop a
lifelong love of learning.
Educators are always striving to personalize learning for students. Technology can help them reach new levels
with access to real-time student data, longitudinal information, content, apps, and more. Technology can help
educators create blended learning environments and leverage digital tools for formative and summative
assessments, bringing new models for learning and teaching to classrooms.
Technology in education and the right devices in students’ hands helps prepare them with the career and technical
skills they need to be successful today and in tomorrow’s workforce.
It is important to acknowledge that students are already interested and engaged in using technology, this creates
many amazing opportunities for schools and teachers to benefit from integrating some forms of technology in the
classroom and to make teaching and learning more effective. Here are some of the main benefits of using
technology in the classroom.
Improves engagement
When technology is integrated into lessons, students are expected to be more interested in the subjects they are
studying. Technology provides different opportunities to make learning more fun and enjoyable in terms of
teaching same things in new ways. For instance, delivering teaching through gamification, taking students on
virtual field trips and using other online learning resources. What is more, technology can encourage a more active
participation in the learning process which can be hard to achieve through a traditional lecture environment.

Improves knowledge retention


Students who are engaged and interested in things they are studying, are expected to have a better knowledge
retention. As mentioned before, technology can help to encourage active participation in the classroom which also
is a very important factor for increased knowledge retention. Different forms of technology can be used to
experiment with and decide what works best for students in terms of retaining their knowledge.

Encourages individual learning


No one learns in the same way because of different learning styles and different abilities. Technology provides
great opportunities for making learning more effective for everyone with different needs. For example, students
can learn at their own speed, review difficult concepts or skip ahead if they need to. What is more, technology can
provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students. Access to the Internet gives students access to a
broad range of resources to conduct research in different ways, which in turn can increase the engagement.

Encourages collaboration
Students can practice collaboration skills by getting involved in different online activities. For instance, working on
different projects by collaborating with others on forums or by sharing documents on their virtual learning
environments. Technology can encourage collaboration with students in the same classroom, same school and
even with other classrooms around the world.

Students can learn useful life skills through technology


By using technology in the classroom, both teachers and students can develop skills essential for the 21st century.
Students can gain the skills they will need to be successful in the future. Modern learning is about collaborating
with others, solving complex problems, critical thinking, developing different forms of communication and
leadership skills, and improving motivation and productivity. What is more, technology can help develop many
practical skills, including creating presentations, learning to differentiate reliable from unreliable sources on the
Internet, maintaining proper online etiquette, and writing emails. These are very important skills that can be
developed in the classroom.

Benefits for teachers


With countless online resources, technology can help improve teaching. Teachers can use different apps or trusted
online resources to enhance the traditional ways of teaching and to keep students more engaged. Virtual lesson
plans, grading software and online assessments can help teachers save a lot time. This valuable time can be used
for working with students who are struggling. What is more, having virtual learning environments in schools
enhances collaboration and knowledge sharing between teachers.
