- 5. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell • The word technology comes from Greek word “techne” means craft or art. Therefore, the words educational technology refers to the art or craft of responding to educational needs. • “all the ways people use their interventions and discoveries to satisfy their needs and desires”
- 6. • Educational Technology is also a complex, integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas, devices, and organization for analysing problems and devising, implementing, evaluating, and managing solutions to those problems, involved in all aspects of human learning -Association for Educational Communications and Technology, 1977 Educational Technology in a Nut Shell
- 7. • Educational technology is the effective use of technological tools in learning. As a concept, it is an array of tools, such as media, machines and networking hardware, as well as considering underlying theoretical perspectives for their effective application. Educational Technology in a Nut Shell
- 8. • This topic gives emphasis to the five progressive states/city imposing ICT polices and strategies in schools. Most of the countries were found in the Asia Pacific Region particularly (New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong). Those country imposed their own policies and produced an educational technology environment in their schools. They provide facilities and venue for students’ learning and even for teachers. They conduct trainings for teacher in the use of technology in instruction. Educational Technology in the Asia Pacific Region
- 9. Basic Concepts on Integrating Technology in Instruction • Technology Integration refers to the use of learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extent skills. • There’s a change in the way classes are traditionally conducted. The quality of instruction is improved into higher level. • The use of technology provides the opening of opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/problems. • In sum, Technology occupies a position (is a simple or complex
- 10. Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-Based Project • There are four types of IT Based Projects: • Resource-based Project lets the students find their own facts and information. It is more on student- centered because teacher only step in to supply data when necessary. More on discovery approach that the students are the one who finds out the answer.
- 11. Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-Based Project • There are four types of IT Based Projects: • Simple Creations – it is focused on the creativity of the students. More consonant with planning, making, assembling, designing and/or building. Creativity said to combine three kinds of skills/abilities: Analyzing- refers to distinguishing similarities and differences, Synthesizing – making spontaneous connections among ideas, thus generating interesting or new ideas and Promoting – selling of new ideas to allow the public to test the idea themselves.
- 12. Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-Based Project • There are four types of IT Based Projects: • Guided Hypermedia Project – the production of self-made multimedia projects can be approached in different ways: As an instructive tool - in this approach the student produce a power point presentation of a certain topic. As a communicative tool – in this approach the student tends to do/make a multi-media presentations (with text, graphs, photos, etc.
- 13. Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-Based Project • There are four types of IT Based Projects: • Web Based Projects – students create and post web pages on a given topic. Posting of web pages in the internet allows the students a wider audience. They can also be linked with other related sites in the internet. You can promote a specific topic by the use of these web based projects.
- 14. IT Enters a New Learning Environment • Meaningful Learning • This gives focus to new experience that is related to what the learner already knows. A new experience departs from the learning of a sequence of words or memorization through rote memory but gives attention to meaning. • In the learning process, the learner is encouraged to recognize relevant personal experiences. A reward structure is set so that the learner will have both interest and confidence, and this incentive system gives positive reinforcement to learning.
- 15. IT Enters a New Learning Environment • Discovery Learning • This kind of learning is differentiated from reception learning in which ideas are presented directly to students in a well- organized way, such as through a detailed set of instructions to complete an experiment or task. To make a contrast, in discovery learning students perform tasks to uncover what is to be learned. New ideas and new decisions are generated in the learning process, regardless of the need to move on and depart from organized set-off activities. In discovery learning, it is important that the student become personally involved and not subjected by the teacher to procedures he/she is not allowed to depart from.
- 16. IT Enters a New Learning Environment • Discovery Learning • In applying technology, the computer can present a tutorial process by which the learner is given key concepts and the rules learning are directly presented for receptive type of learning. But aside from that, the computer has other uses. In a computer simulation process, for example, the learner himself is made to identify key concepts by interacting with a responsive virtual environment. The learner thus discovers the concepts from the experience the virtual environment provides.
- 17. • Generative Learning • In generative learning we have active learners who attend to learning events and generate drawing from this experience and draw inferences thereby creating a personal model or explanation to the new experience in the context of existing knowledge. • Generative learning is viewed as different from the simple process of storing information for motivation and responsibility is said to be crucial to this domain of learning. IT Enters a New Learning Environment
- 18. • Generative Learning • Examples of this in the area of language comprehension are activities such as writing paragraph, summaries, developing answers and questions, drawing pictures, creating paragraph titles, organizing ideas/concepts, and others. • In sum, generative learning gives emphasis to what can be done with the pieces of information not only just an access to them. IT Enters a New Learning Environment
- 19. IT Enters a New Learning Environment • Constructivism • In constructivism, the learner builds a personal understanding through appropriate learning activities and a good learning environment. The two accepted principles are: • Learning consists of what a person can actively assemble for himself and not what he can receive passively. • The role of learning is to help the individual live/adapt to his personal world.
- 20. The Computer as the Teacher’s Tool • Informative tool - The computer can provide vast amounts of information in various forms, such as text, graphics, sound and video. The internet itself provides an enormous database from which user can access global information resources that includes the latest news whether forecast airline schedules, sports development, news entertainment and features as well as educational information.
- 21. The Computer as the Teacher’s Tool • Communication tool - it can be use as a source of communication. Facebook and different social networking sites can be used for educational purposes. For Example, your teacher posted a lesson in your Facebook Group for you to scrutinize and review. • Constructive tool - The computer itself can be used for manipulating information, visualizing understanding and building new knowledge.
- 22. The Computer as the Teacher’s Tool • Co-constructive tool - Students can use co-constructive tools to work cooperatively and construct a shared understanding of new knowledge. The computer supported intentional learning environments (CSILE) is an example of an integrated environment developed by the Ontario Institute for studies and education. With this, students can enter their ideas in notes and respond to each other’s ideas. Manifest in student-generated database are higher level thinking processes explaining, problem-solving, expertise and development, literacy improvement.
- 23. The Computer as the Teacher’s Tool • Situating tool • The computer can create 3d images on display to give the user the feeling that are situated in a virtual environment. A flight simulation program is an example of a situating tool which placed by the user in a simulated flying environment.
- 24. Learning through Edtech 1 and Edtech 2 • Educational Technology 1 taught me things that are essential in my chosen profession. I believe this subject is one of the most essential and necessary to be taught. Why? because this subject will be a great help for teachers. Some of the topics that I can still remember are: ASSURE and ADDIE model which are used to design and develop the most appropriate learning environment for their students. These are made to improve the learning environment of the students. Same with the VISUAL IN INSTRUCTION OR ROLES OF VISUAL IN INSTRUCTION that provided me enough knowledge on how to utilize visual and make visuals for my instruction. As well as the Dale’s Cone of Experience which is very essential. This Cone of Experience guides me to know the best medium to use for learning.
- 25. Learning through Edtech 1 and Edtech 2 • This model incorporates students people generally remember: 10% of what they read, 20% what they hear, 30% of what they see 50% what they hear and see, 70% what they say and write and 90% of what they do. It is composed of Verbal Symbols, Visual Symbols, Recording, Radio and Still Pictures, Television and Motion Pictures, Exhibits, Demonstrations, Fieldtrips, Dramatized Experiences, Contrived Experiences and Direct and Purposeful Experiences.
- 26. Learning through Edtech 1 and Edtech 2 • The same with Edtech 1, Edtech 2 taught me also a lot of things. Through this subject my skills were improved and enhanced. Educational Technology 2 is concerned primarily with “Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning”. It involved a deeper understanding about the computer as well as application or hands-on activities to enhance my computer skills. This skill is one of the skills that we must possess as a future educators and as a 21st century teachers especially that we are going to teach these what we call 21st century students/learners. Learners that are too much exposed in a more high-tech gadgets and technology that we have nowadays like computers, laptops, tablets, cellular phones, etc.
- 27. Learning through Edtech 1 and Edtech 2 • As a teacher, we must be flexible enough so that we can adapt to these changes happen around us, Classroom set-up nowadays are changing from Traditional which is fully dominated by teacher to CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction/ Student Centered Learning). Be knowledgeable and we must undergo trainings and seminars to fully equipped us with information on how to manipulate those things. Classrooms nowadays utilize Television, Laptops, projectors and other technology gadgets that make are life more convenient.
- 28. Learning through Edtech 1 and Edtech 2 • I learned that assignments, activities and projects should not be boring. There are ways to make it entertaining, enjoyable and interesting for my students and it is with the help of technology. It gave me also an idea that we can use this technology as a tool for communication in academic and scholastic way especially with the use of Facebook and then we can make a group where an instructor can place a lesson or something which is related to education. • In some ways, there’s a lot of benefits we can get from technology, It serves as the teachers’ tool to deliver her lesson well and to improve the way of learning. As teachers , be updated not outdated we are in the 21st century, we are in the same field but different set-up.
- 29. The Student after Edtech • At the end of the subject, The students will be able to know a lot of things about educational technology. They will realize that educational technology do not only about using computers and electronic gadgets but also it serves an instructional materials that we utilize to improve the way of teaching. We can apply all the things we’ve learned from this subject as future educators in our field. Our skills were enhanced and developed particularly in using and manipulating this things. Through the help of technology integrated in education it amended the quality of teachers because they become more competitive.
- 30. The Student after Edtech • But it doesn’t mean that computer can replace teachers. Computers are just tools used by teacher. Computers cannot manipulate teachers but rather teachers are the one who manipulate computers. • It is the reason why we must be updated as future 21st century teachers. We need to follow what’s on trend to keep on track. We must be knowledgeable and skilled enough to manipulate these technologies. Necessarily, we must explore and attend series of trainings and seminars regarding on how to use these technologies.
