3. 3 Domains of Educational Technology
(Stosic, 2015)
1. Technology as Tutor
Technology can support the teacher to teach
another person or technology when
programmed by the teacher can be a tutor on its
own

Used to facilitate or lighten the work of the
teacher.
3. Technology as a learning tool

7. B. For Learners and Learning
1. Support learners to learn how to learn on their
own.
Three categories of knowledge according to Egbert
(2009)
a. Declarative Knowledge (consist of the discrete
pieces of information)
b. Structural Knowledge (facts or pieces of
declarative knowledge put together to attain
meaning)
c. Procedural Knowledge (knowledge in action)

8. 2. Technology enhances learners’ communication
skills through social interactions.
Three basic communication patters (Shirly, 2003)
and (Egbert, 2009)
a. Point to point two way or one-to-one (internet
chat, phone conversation and even face-to-face
conversation)
b. One-to-many outbound (lecture, or television,
“there is no social interaction)
c. Many-to-many (group discussion, buzz session,
heads together, provides opportunities for
interaction)

9. Benefits derived from technology-supported
communication:
a. Enables any teacher to guide learners virtually
and making learning unlimited because
communication and social interaction go
beyond a school day or a school environment.
b. Enhances students’ freedom to express and
exchange ideas freely without the snooping
eyes of the teacher face to face
c. Enables learners to construct meaning from
joint experiences between the two or more
participants in communication.

10. • d. Help learners solve problems form multiple
sources since there is limitless sources of
information that the teacher can direct or refer to
the learner.
• e. Teaches learners to communicate with
politeness, taking turns in sending information
and giving appropriate feedback.
• f. Enhances collaboration by using communication
strategies with wider community and individuals
in a borderless learning environment.
• g. Develops critical thinking, problem solving and
creativity throughout the communication.

11. • 3. Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order-
thinking skills: critical thinking, problem solving and
creativity
• Critical Thinking (higher order thinking skills)
a. Ask the right question
- clarity, accuracy, precision, breadth
b. Use critical thinking tasks with appropriate level of
challenge.
Teacher should:
1. Vary the question asked.
2. Introduce new technologies
3. Modify the learners’ grouping
4. Modify the critical thinking task
5. Encourage curiositybaisaguira@gmail.com

12. • Creativity (ability to think flexibly, fluently, originally
and elaborately) – (Egbert, 2009)
Seven Creative Strategies (Obsborn, 1963)
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 or
decrease.
5. Put to another use – find other uses
6. Eliminate – reduce or remove
7. Reverse – turn upside-down, inside out, front-side
