々 It will help them to be acquainted on the current trends on
technology in education. Not only that but also it will
empower their caliber on giving out their skills on the
process.
々 However, it also intends to be for professional teachers to
bridge the gap on technology literacy and to update to the
thriving global competency on education as to computer
literacy.
It involves deeper understanding of computer as well as hands-on
application of computer skills. But not necessarily promoting computer
but how will it improve the process. As of today, we are on
information age and everyone must cope up with its nature. To give
better access to quality education one must be well-equipped on
computer skills as the media of transpiring knowledge.
It aims to give student-teachers admission on going all out to the
thriving global information and communication technology environment.
Goals of Technology for Teaching and Learning 2

々 To provide education in the use of technology in instruction by


providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-
instruction to learners
々 To impart learning experiences in instructional technology-
supported instructional planning
々 To acquaint students on information technology or IT- related
learning theories with the computer as a tutor
々 To learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources
々 To engage learners on practical technology integration issues
including managing IT classrooms, use of the internet for
learning, cooperative learning through the use of information
technology, etc.
々 To inculcate higher level thinking and creativity among students
while providing them knowledge of IT-related learning theories

“Technology for Teaching and Learning 2 should not be considered as


a formidable task but indeed a refreshing, fun and exciting course
to start with.”

Lesson 2
UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY LEARNERS

“Today`s learners appear smarter, yet they can`t read as their


parents do, they are addicted to the internet.”
The Learner`s nowadays:
 Digital Literate
 Mobile
 Always On
 Experiential
 Social (Stay Connected)
Lest the concern for new learners is not well understood, it
serves to know what scientists say, as follows:
 There are positive benefits derived from the use of
information technology or digital resources and these
counterbalance possible negative effects of technology on
children.
 Daily exposure to high technology – personal computers,
video game gadgets, cell phones, Internet search sites –
stimulates the brain by strengthening and creating neural
circuits.
 A current technological revolution is creating an
intellectual revolution, faster and better than ever before.
Jean Piaget - A Swiss clinical psychologist known for this
pioneering work in child development.
Theory of Cognitive Development
1. Sensorimotor (Birth to age 2 years old) – during this stage,
understanding is limited to direct contact with the
environment – sucking, touching, listening and looking.
2. Pre - Operational (Age 2 – 7 years old) – during this stage,
children develop the ability to use symbols.
3. Concrete Operational (Age 7 – 12 years old) – although
reasoning abilities are more developed, they remain
concrete.
4. Formal Operational (Age 12 – 15 years old) – children are
now capable of abstract thinking.
Multitasking - is a concept of performing multiple tasks over a
certain period of time by executing them concurrently.
