2. Basic Concepts on Integrating
Technology in Instruction
Integrating technology with teaching means the use of
learning technologies to
Introduce (a discovery),
Reinforce (an existing idea),
Supplement (absorption)
extending the skills
3. The difference between the classrooms of exemplary
users of technology and technology users is the way
their classes are conducted.
In the exemplary classrooms, student use of computers
is woven integrally into the patterns of teaching;
software is a natural extension of student tools.
4. There is NO INTEGRATIVE PROCESS in letting the
students play computer games to give them a rest
period during classes.
NEITHER is there INTEGRATION, if the teacher
merely teaches students computer skills.
5. Manifestations of Learning through
I.T.
There's a change in the way classes are traditionally
conducted.
The quality of instruction is improved to a higher level
in such a way that could not have been achieved
without educational technology.
There is planning by the teacher on the process of
determining how and when technology fits into the
learning process.
6. Manifestations of Learning through
I.T.
The teacher sets instructional strategies to address
specific instructional issues/problems.
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 way) in the instructional process.
