Knowing the grounds of Educational Technology, as educators, we must be knowledgeable on how to integrate it to our learning and teaching pedagogy.

1. TECHNOLOGY AND THE
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Introduction to Technology Integration
 Technology to Support Diverse Learner
 Integrating an Array of Tools into Teaching and Learning
 Writing Learner-Centered Units
 Tying Lesson Design to Standards
 Technology to Support Improvements in Your Own Practice

2. Thinking about
the future is
important for the
educators. Preparing the students
for that future requires
some consideration of
the skills that student
will need and the rapidly
evolving role of
technology in

3. As an educator, we participate daily in shaping
the current era of dramatic change. We will
explore the kinds of changes that will need to
take place for teachers to make the best use of
technology. We will discuss how technology is
currently used in classrooms and how it might
be used more effectively in the future.

4. Technology to Support Diverse Learner
There are myriad ways that technology can support
the needs of all our students. In this context,
technology has the capacity to:
1. Support the teacher in different instruction for
learners with diverse ability levels; and
2. Support learners with particular physical
limitations.

5. Technology as an enabling tool
When technology is used to support learner-
centered activity, it becomes an enabling tool.

6. Integrating an Array of Tools into
Teaching and Learning
Benefits of Technology:
 Improve learning and instruction;
 Support the development of a rich learning
environment;
 Enhance assessment;
 Promote students’ inquiry & discovery;
 Decrease geographic limitations;
 Provide opportunities to develop workplace skills, etc.

8. Integrating an Array of Tools into
Teaching and Learning
IMPORTANCE of how technology is used…
Technology benefits students most when it allows
them to simulate situations, make decisions, model
events, perform other exploratory operations, and
when used for drill and practice.

9. Tying Lesson Design to Standards
Standards provide teachers with guidance what
students should understand and be able to do.
All lesson design should begin with standards.

12. Technology to Support Improvements
in Your Own Practice
Technology provides with access to many
programs that support our being organized, gives
us access to a wide array of lesson ideas, and
provides us with opportunities to communicate
with other teachers.

13. Technology to Support Improvements
in Your Own Practice
Technology integration is also an important
aspects of a teacher’s conceptual development – it
can help us to become a teacher.
