The document discusses the computer as a teaching tool and its capabilities to support constructivist and social constructivist learning theories. It explains that constructivism focuses on students individually constructing knowledge from gathered information, while social constructivism emphasizes knowledge construction through social interaction and cultural influence. The computer can serve as an informative tool by providing vast resources, as a communication tool for collaboration, as a constructive tool for building knowledge, and as a situating tool to create virtual environments. Examples are given of applications like Super Why, Star Chart, and Math Helper that teachers can use in hands-on ways to engage students in literacy, science, and math skills.

• The students will develop an understanding
about the computer as a teacher’s handy tools
supporting the constructivist and social
constructivist of learning.
• Be able to understand and modify diiferent
computer capabilities and different application
that can be used by the teachers as a handy
tool in school.

4. • Focuses on the collaborative nature of
learning.
• the theory that says learners construct
knowledge rather than just passively take
in information.

5. • Focuses on the collaborative nature of
learning.
• Knowledge develops from how people
interact with each other, their culture, and
society at large. Students rely on others to
help create their building blocks, and
learning from others helps them construct
their own knowledge and reality

CAPABILITIES

Based on the two learning theories,
the teacher can employ the
computer as a/an:
•An information tool
•A communication tool
•A constructive tool
•As co-constructive tool
•A situating tool

8. The computer can provide vast amounts of
information in various forms, such as text, graphics,
sound, and video.
INFORMATIVE TOOL
1/7/20XX 8
CONSTRUCTIVE TOOL
The computer itself can be used for manipulating
information, visualizing one’s understanding, and building
new knowledge.

9. Students can use co-constructive tools to work
cooperatively and construct a shared understanding
of new knowledge.
CO-CONSTRUCTIVIST

SITUATING TOOL
By means of virtual reality (RS) extension
systems, the computer can create 3-D images
on display to give the user the feeling that are

virtual planetarium in their
pockets. They can look
through the eyes of their
Android devices to open a
virtual window into the whole
visible universe. All they have
to do is point their Android
device at the sky, and Star
Chart will tell them exactly
what they’re viewing..
