1. THE ROLES OFTHE ROLES OF
EDUCATIONALEDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY INTECHNOLOGY IN
LEARNINGLEARNING

2. “ Technology
makes the world
a new place ”

3. Technology can play a traditional role,
i.e. as delivery vehicles for
instructional lessons or in a
constructivist way as partners in the
learning process.

4. Technology is a learning
tool to learn with not from.
It makes the learner gather, think,
analyze, synthesize information
and construct meaning with what
technology presents

5. Technology serves as a medium
in representing what the learner
knows and what he/ she is
learning.

6. Which greater role did technology
plays in your learning experience :
TECHNOLOGY-AS-TEACHER
Or
TECHNOLOGY-AS-PARTNER

7. •Technology as tools to support knowledge
construction:

8. •Technology as information vehicles for
exploring knowledge to support learning-
by-constructing:
• For accessing needed
information.
• For comparing
perspectives , beliefs
and world views.

9. •Technology as context to support
learning by doing
•For representing beliefs ,
perspectives , arguments , and
stories of others.
•For defining a safe ,
controllable problem space for
student thinking.
•For representing and simulating
meaningful real-world problems , situations
and context.

10. •Technology as a social medium to
support learning by conversing
•For collaborating with
others.
•For discussing , arguing,
and building consensus
among members of a
community.
•For supporting discourse
among knowledge-building
communities.

11. •Technology as intellectual partner
•For helping learners to articulate
and represent what they knows
•For reflecting on what they have
learned and how they came to
know it
•For supporting learners internal
negotiations and meaning makings
•For constructing personal
representations of meaning
•For supporting mindful thinking

12. Whether used from the traditional or
constructivist point of view, when used
effectively, research indicates that
technology not only “increases students’
learning, understanding, and achievement
but also augments, motivation to learn,
encourages collaborative learning and
supports the development of critical
thinking and problem-solving skills”
(Shacter and Fagnano, 1999)

13. Proper implementation of technology
in the classroom gives students more
“control of their own learning and …
tends to move classrooms from
teacher-dominated environments to
ones that are more learner-centered

14. So therefore, technology is
really a big help and plays
an important role in
learning.
