(Kovacs, 2014)

But first….
E-Learning
(Fully
online)
Face-to-Face
Blended Learning

TECHNOLOGY IN T&L
 To facilitate/enhance the
learning process (beyond the
four walls of your classroom)
 Should be used as assistive
(guide) tools not assertive
(force).
 Teaching + Technology =
Teachnology

CONSIDERATIONS OF TECHNOLOGICAL
INTEGRATION
 Should be contextualised and authentic
 Should focus on social interactions as the
driving force of learning process
 Should provide enough control and
ownership of the tasks

BUT REMEMBER….
"Technology is just a tool. In terms
of getting the kids working
together and motivating them, the
teacher is the most important. And
good teachers, always use good
tools.

than information.

with the right tools,
they will learn
autonomously.

discussing and solving questions. Teacher interaction with students is more
personalized - guidance instead of lecturing.
