Lesson 3: ROLES OF TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

The 3 domains

1. Technology as a tutor- together with the teacher,technology can supports teacher to teach another
person or technology when programmed by the teacher can be a tutor on its own.

2. Technology as a teaching tool-it is being used to facilitate and lighten the work of the teacher.

3. Technology as a learning tool-it makes learning easy and effective. It can produce learning
outcomes that call for technology-assisted teaching.

A. For Teachers and Teaching

 • Technology provides enormous support for the teacher as the facilitator of learning.

• Technology has modernized teaching-learning environment.

• Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching.

• Technology opens new fields in education researchers.

• Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcates scientific outlook.

• Technology supports teacher professional development.

B. For Learners and Learning

1.Supports learners to learn how to learn on their own.

All teachers fully understand that subject matter or content is a means to achieve the learning
outcomes.

The three(3) categories of knowledge according to Egbert (2009).

a.Declarative knowledge

b.Structural knowledge

c.Procedural knowledge

2.Technology enhances learner's communication skills through social interactions.

This is commonly described as the transmittal or information from one person to another as single
individual or group of individuals. According to Shirley (2003) in Egbert (2009), there are three basic
communication patterns;

• Point to point two-way or one-to-one like Internet chats, phone conversation or even
gace-to-face conversation.

• One-to-many outbound like a lecture, or television. There is no social interaction.

• Many-to-many like group discussion, buzz session, heads together. This kind of
interaction provides opportunities for social interaction.

For this particular role, what are benefits derived from technology-supported communication?

a.Enables any teacher to guide the learners virtually and making learning unlimited because
communication and social interaction go beyond a school day or school environment.

b.Enhances students' freedom to express and exchange ideas freely without the snooping
eyes of the teacher face to face.

c.Enables learner to construct meaning from joint experiences between the two ormore
participants in communication.
 d.Help learners solve problems from multiple sources since there is limitless sources of
information that the teacher can direct or refer to the learners.

e.Teaches learners to communicate with politeness, talking turns in sending information and
giving appropriate feedback.

f.Enhances collaboration by using communication strategies with wider community and

individuals in a borderless learning environment.

g.Develops critical thinking, problem solving and creativity throughout the communication.

3.Technology upgrades learners' higher-order-thinking skills: critical thinking, problem solving and
creativity.

CRITICAL THINKING

- Critical thinking is part of the cluster of higher order thinking skills. It refers to the ability to
interpret, explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and self regulate in order to make good decisions.

Teachers play a significant role in supporting learners with technology.

A. Ask the right questions.

B. Use critical thinking task with appropriate level of challenge.

CREATIVITY

Creativity is characterized as involving the ability to think flexibly, fluently, originally, and elaborately
(Guildford, 1986 & Torrance, 1974 in Egbert, 2009.)

Flexibility- able to use many points of view.

Fluently- able to generate many ideas.

Originally- implies being able to generate new ideas.

Elaborately- able to add details.

Seven Creative Strategies (Osborn, 1963).

• Substitute- Find something else to replace to do what it does.

• Combine- Blend two things that do not usually go together.

• Adapt- Look for other ways this can be used.

• Modify/Magnify/Minify- Make a change, enlarge, decrease.

• Put to another use- Find other uses.

• Eliminate - Reduce, remove

• Reverse- Turn upside down, inside out , front-side back.

All together, the strategies will be labelled as SCAMPER

UNIT II: ICT POLICIES: IMPLICATIONS TO TEACHING AND LEARNING
 LESSON 1: Policies and Issues on the internet and implications to Teaching and Learning

ICT Policies are needed to put a roadmap or course of actions to be pursued and adopted by various
governments, organizations, entities involving ICT.

The New ICT Technologies:

 More recent technological innovations increased the reach and speed of communication
which can be grouped into three categories:

1. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Includes the use of computers, which has become indispensable in modern societies to
process data and save time and effort.
2. TELECOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES
Include telephones and broadcasting of radio and television often through satellites.
3. NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES
Internet, has extended to mobile phone technology, Voice Internet Protocol (VOIP) satellite
communication and other forms of communications are still in their infancy.

THE DICT ROADMAP

- The Department of Information, Communication and Technology (DICT) has formulated a roadmap
to guide all agencies in the utilization, regulations and enhancement of ICT.

- ICT for Education (ICT4E), a program under the DICT that supports all the efforts of the education
sector in incorporating the use of ICT as well as determining and gaining access to the infrastructure.

Among the policy recommended programs that have applications to education teaching-learning are:

1. ICT in Education Masterplan for all levels. A Natural Framework plan for icts in Basic Education was
developed.

2. Content and Application development through the Open Content in Education Initiative (OCEI).

3. PheDNET as hosts educational learning and teaching materials and applications for use by Filipino
students, their parents and teachers.

4. Established Community eLearning Centers called eSkwela for out-of-school Youth(SY).

5. eQuality Program for tertiary education through partnerships with the state universities and
colleges (SUCs).

6. Digital Media Arts Program

7. ICT Skills strategic plan

These were guided by the roadmap that embeds policy statements and relate education specially in
the enhancement for teaching and learning.

SOME ISSUES ON ICT AND INTERNET POLICY AND REGULATIONS

Access- the possibility to use the internet and other media.

Civil Liberties –refers to the human right and freedom.

Infringement to Civil Liberties

There are specific internet issues on internet policy that have relationship to civil liberties or human
rights.

Issue No.1 Freedom of Expression and Censorship

● The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides that everyone has the right to
freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, likewise the right to freedom of opinion and
expression. However, there are practices that violate these provisions in the use of internet.

1. Individual rights are given up in order to have access to electronic networks.

2. Censorship restricts the transmission of information by blocking it or filtering the information.
3. Defamation actions may be used to silence critics. This action deters the freedom of
expression.

Issue No. 2 Privacy and Security

● Privacy policies are an issue.

● A privacy policy is a statement or a legal document (in privacy law) that discloses information
about how a party gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a customer or client's data.

There are several types of privacy as shown by the following examples:

- The right of individuals not to have their home, private life or personal life interfered with.
- Refers to the protection from interference with communication over the phone or internet
- Related to the use of computers and communication systems which are able to hold and
process information about large numbers of people at a high speed

It is important to ensure that information will only be used for purposes for which it was
gathered and will not be disclosed to others without consent of the individuals.
