The document discusses integrating technology into teaching and learning. It explains that merely using computers in the classroom does not constitute true integration. Effective integration means using technology to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend skills based on instructional needs. Exemplary teachers seamlessly weave technology into their lessons, not just using it for breaks or isolated computer skills lessons. True integration requires planning how and when technology supports instructional goals, setting strategies to address issues, and using technology to respond to those issues so it occupies a meaningful role in the learning process. The document stresses that becoming skilled at integration takes time, and teachers will progress from basic to more advanced uses of technology over time.
3. It has been a long time issue as to how to
integrate technology in the teaching-learning
process. The mere use of computer does not mean
that technology is already integrated in the
instruction. A need to provide learning on how
educational technology can be applied and
integrated in the teaching-learning process is very
crucial. According to Pisapia (1994) in her
definition of integrating technology with teaching
is that, there is integration if the learning
technologies are use to introduce, reinforce,
supplement, and extend skills.
4. The difference between the classrooms
of exemplary users of technology and
technology users is the way their classes are
conducted. In exemplary classrooms,
student’s use of computers is woven
integrally into the patterns of teaching. In
other words, there is NO INTEGRATIVE
PROCESS if a teacher would make his/her
students play computer games as rest
periods during classes, neither that there is
integration if the teacher merely teaches
students the computer skills.
5. Here are external manifestations of
technology integration into instruction:
-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 wand when
technology fits into the teaching-learning
process.
6. -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.
7. There is actually nothing to be
worry about for teachers who are still
novices in technology integration because
learning how would really take time.
Technology integration into instruction is
developmental and takes a gradual road
to mastery and expertise. In time, a
teacher can advance from basic
integration to more complicated
integrations.
