Lesson 1
Let us now proceed
to Lesson 2

14. Module 1 - Teaching and Learning with
Technology: An Introduction
Lesson 2: Roles of Technology for Teaching
and Learning

15. Learning Outcomes
1. Identified roles of technology in teaching and
learning.
2. Appreciated the value of technology in supporting
student learning.

16. As teaching and learning go together, let us explore what would be the
roles of technology for teachers and teaching and for learners and
learning. According to Stosic (2015), educational technology has three
domains:
1. Technology as a tutor. The teacher will simply switch on or switch off
radio programs, television programs or play DVDs, or CDs that contain
educational programs. There are on-line tutorial educational programs,
too.
2. Technology as a teaching tool. Like a tutor, technology is a teaching
tool, but can never replace a teacher. It is being used to facilitate and
lighten the work of the teacher.

17. 3.Technology as a learning tool. It is an effective tool for learning and
makes learning easy and effective. It can produce learning outcomes that
call for technology-assisted teaching.
A. For Teachers and Teaching
There are numerous roles that technology plays in the job of
teachers, it has modernized the teaching-learning environment in schools.
Here are some examples of the myriad of roles that technology can do for
teachers and teaching.
4. Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as the
facilitator of learning. It transforms a passive classroom to an active and
interactive one, with audio-visual aids, charts and models, smart
classrooms, e-learning classrooms which motivate and increase
attention level of learners.

18. 2. Technology has modernized the teaching-learning environment. The
teachers are assisted and supplemented with appropriately structured
instructional materials for daily activities. There are varied available
technology-driven resources which can be utilized for remedial lesson or
activities. Likewise there are also a lot of technology-driven resources that
can be used for enrichment purposes.
3. Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching.
This will make the act of teaching more efficient and effective. There are
arrays of teaching methods and strategies that can use technology which
are found compatible with learning styles. All the learning styles can find
support from technology, so that teaching will be more effective and
efficient.

19. 4. Technology opens new fields in educational researches. Current
educational researchers will no longer find difficulty in interpreting tests,
assessment and other evaluation results. There are available programs that
can analyze and interpret results with speed and accuracy.Reference
retrieval is also hastened because many of the research materials are in
digital form. Technology has also provided access to big data that can be
processed for problem solving and inquiry.
5. Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcates
scientific outlook. Through the utilization of theories of learning and
intelligence, which are explained in references uploaded in the net, the
teachers are encouraged to imbibe skills to source these information with
speed and accuracy.

20. 6. Technology supports teacher professional development. The availability
of technology provides alternative way of attending professional
development online. For those who are involved as providers of continuing
professional development like trainers, facilitators or organizers, they can
level up or enhance their delivery systems with the support of technology
tools.
B. For Learners and Learning
1. Support learners to learn how to learn on their own. All teachers fully
understand that subject matter or content is a means to achieve the
learning outcomes. There are three categories of knowledge according
to Egbert (2009): declarative knowledge, structural knowledge, and
procedural knowledge.

21. a. Declarative knowledge consists of the discrete pieces of information
that answers the questions what, who, when, and where. It is often
learned through memorization of facts, drills and practice. It can be
learned by simple mnemonics or conceptual maps.
b. Structural knowledge consists of facts or pieces of declarative
knowledge put together to attain some form of meaning. It can be
presented by concept maps, categorization or classification.
c. Procedural knowledge is knowledge in action or the knowledge of how
to do something. It is based on facts but learned through the process of
procedural knowledge.

22. 2. Technology enhances learners' communication skills through social
interactions. This is commonly described as the transmittal of information
from one person to another as single individual or groups of individuals.
According to Shirly (2003) in Egbert (2009), there are three basic
communication patterns:
a) Point to point two-way or one-to-one like Internet chat, phone
conversation or even face-to-face conversation.
b) One-to-many outbound like a lecture, or television. There is no social
interaction.
c) Many-to-many like group discussion, buzz session, heads together.This
kind of interaction provides opportunities for social interaction.

23. 3. Technology upgrades learners' higher-order-thinking skills: critical
thinking, problem solving and creativity
Twenty-first century learning requires the development of higher-
order-thinking skills.
Technology has a great role to play in the development and
enhancement of these skills.
Critical thinking is part of the cluster of higher order thinking skills. It refers
to the ability to interpret, explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and self-regulate
in order to make good decisions. With the use of technology, one will be
able to evaluate the credibility of the source, ask appropriate questions,
become open-minded, defend a position on an issue and draw conclusion
with caution.

24. Creativity is characterized as involving the ability to think flexibly,
fluently, originally, and elaborately.
Flexibly means able to use many points of view.
Fluently means able to generate many ideas.
Originally implies being able to generate new ideas
Elaborately means able to add details.
Creativity is not merely a set of technical skills, but it also involves
feelings, beliefs, knowledge and motivation.

25. Seven Creative Strategies (Osborn, 1963). These have been simplified
into fewer categories. To be creative, one can use any of these
strategies.
1. Substitute - Find something else to replace to do what it does.
2. Combine - Blend two things that do not usually go together.
3. Adapt - Look for other ways this can be used.
4. Modify/Magnify/ Minify - Make a change, enlarge, decrease.
5. Put to another use - Find other uses.
6. Eliminate - Reduce, remove.
7. Reverse - Turn upside-down, inside out, front-side back.
All together, the strategies will be labelled as SCAMPER.
