This research aimed to develop and validate a web-based courseware for junior secondary school basic technology students in Nigeria. In this study, a mixed method quantitative pilot study design with qualitative components was used to test and ascertain the ease of development and validation of the web-based courseware. Dick and Carey instructional system design model was adopted for developing the courseware. Convenience sampling technique was used in selecting the three content, computer and educational technology experts to validate the web-based courseware. Non-randomized and non-equivalent Junior secondary school students from two schools were used for field trial validation. Four validating instruments were employed in conducting this study: (i) Content Validation Assessment Report (CVAR); (ii) Computer Expert Validation Assessment Report (CEAR); (iii) Educational Technology Experts Validation Assessment Report (ETEVAR); and (iv) Students Validation Questionnaire (SVQ). All the instruments were face and content validated. SVQ was pilot tested and reliability coefficient of 0.85 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha. CVAR, CEAR, ETEVAR were administered on content specialists, computer experts, and educational technology experts, while SVQ was administered on 83 JSS students from two selected secondary schools in Minna. The findings revealed that the process of developing web-based courseware using Dick and Carey Instructional System Design was successful. In addition, the report from the validating team revealed that the web-based courseware is valuable for learning basic technology. It is therefore recommended that web-based courseware should be produced to teach basic technology concepts on large scale.
This course is designed to introduce both traditional and innovative technologies and foster meaningful and efficient learning. Students are expected to demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature, application and production of the various types of educational technologies. Demonstrate skills in developing teacher support materials as well as production of technology – based outputs in the various content areas in the K – 12 program.

PREPARING FOR TOMORROW’S CHALLENGES
QUESTION 1 :
Describe how the ASSURE model supports 21 st century learning as describe in the National
Education Technology Plan.
The ASSURE model is structured to help teachers achieve 21st century classrooms. By
following the step-by-step ASSURE model, teachers receive the support and guidance to
develop, implement, evaluate, and revise lessons that integrate technology to increase
student learning and prepare them for future careers. The ASSURE model directly supports
the following learning goal in the National Education Technology Plan (NETP).
The first step in the ASSURE model, Analyze learners, asks teachers to identify the needs of
all learners to better ensure that they have the resources and individualized support to
participate in learning experiences. The next four step help teachers to strategically plan
technology integration lessons.
2. State standards and objectives
3. Select strategies, technology, media and materials
4. Utilize technology, media, and materials
5. Require learner participation
These steps guide teachers in strategically planning and implementing learning experiences
the align with key strategies in the NETP goal - engaging and empowering activities that
encourage active, creative and knowledgeable interaction.
The final ASSURE model step, Evaluate and revise, involves assessment of both student
progress and the instructional process to determine what worked well and what needs to be
revised before implementing the lesson again. Application of the ASSURE model enables
21st century teachers to continually engage students in activities that increase 21 st century
knowledge and skills and better prepare them for successful careers.
3. QUESTION 2 :
Discuss the characteristics of a 21st century teacher who is technologically competent,
information literate, and committed to professional growth and engagement.
The role of a teacher will always include the foundational responsibility of enabling students
to learn. However, differences have been seen over time in how teachers accomplish this
goal. The role of the 21st century teacher still is to improve student learning, but requires the
teacher to have broader capabilities than content knowledge, the ability to use pedagogy in
the classroom, and basic computer skills. They also need to be technologically competent
and information-literature.
1) Technological Competence
Teachers in the 21st century need to go beyond computer literacy to attain technology
competence. This means not only knowing the basics of computer literacy, but more
importantly, how and when to use technology to enhance student learning.
2) Information Literacy
Teachers in the 21st century require a high degree of capability with regard to
information literacy. To prepare for a class, teachers need to locate materials from
variety of online sources and ensure the material is accurate, appropriate, easily
accessible, and useable according to copyright guideline. Teachers should model
information literacy skills :
• Accessing information
• Verifying data
• Appropriately acknowledging information
• Following copyright regulations
To keep students and parents informed of learning expectations and activities and
regularly communicate with parents through email and discussion boards, 21 st
century teachers should develop and maintain a classroom website. They also need
to exemplify a willingness to explore and discover new technological capabilities that
enhance and expand learning experiences. This involves an openness to learns from
and ask students for their thoughts about applying innovative technologies to
examine and solve real-world problems-thus better preparing students to
demonstrate these abilities in their future careers. Teachers should also regularly
participate in opportunities to increase their experience in using technology and
media for learning.
4. 3) Technology-Focused Professional Development
As with any profession, long term and consistent professional development is
necessary for teachers to maintain proficiency and to have a positive impact on
student learning. The same is true for teachers professional development focused on
effective use of technology, which consists of six components
i) Preservice technology training aligned to inservice expectations.
ii) Modelling of technology use by trainers and experienced teachers.
iii) Communities of practice.
iv) Professional engagement
v) School and district leadership in (and modeling of) technology use.
vi) Online learning (both the type and topic of professional development)
The National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T) describe
classroom practice, lesson development, and professional expectations for 21 st
century teachers. The content and activities of technology-focused professional
development (PD) should address the NETS through face-to-face or virtual sessions
in following modalities :
• District or school-provided inservice vendor sessions
• Workshops or webinars at educational conferences
• Graduate coursework
Virtual PD also includes teacher communities of practice, in which teachers with
common interests share best practice, solution and often join advocacy initiatives.
NETS-T 1 : Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity
NETS-T 2 : Design and develop digital-age learning experiences and
assessments
NETS-T 3 : Model Digital-Age work and learning
NETS-T 4 : Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility.
NETS-T 5 : Engage in professional growth and leadership.
4) Professional Engagement
The 21st century is an exciting time for teachers as the opportunities to expand
teaching and learning are becoming more and more pervasive in formal and informal
education each year. Associated with this growth are the increasing numbers of
professional organizations that support educators interested in application of
technology and media to improve learning.
5. QUESTION 3 :
List ways that 21st century environments use technology for inclusion, to connect schools
and homes, and to offer the choice of online education.
Going beyond the traditional classroom, which is dependent on the teachers and textbooks
as the primary sources of information, 21 st century learning environments expand into
“global” classroom that use technology for inclusion, connecting schools and homes, and
offering the choice of online education.
Technology For Inclusion
In the midst of increased technology access in today’s schools, there are still underserved
students who experience “digital exclusion” due to disparities in socioeconomic status,
ethnicity, geographic location, gender, primary language and disabilities (Pew Internet &
American Life Project, 2007). In particular, low-income and minority learners, English
language learners and learners with disabilities tend to have less access and use of
technology in school (US DOE, 2010). An ISTE report (Davis, Fuller, Jackson, Pittman &
Sweet, 2007) recommends five strategies to address “Digital equity” challenges :
i) Legitimize the significant role culture plays in students educational experience.
ii) Continue to challenge perceptions about the role of technology in education.
iii) Encourage others to recognize the critical link between technology professional
development and classroom practice.
iv) Create opportunities for students to access technology outside of the classroom.
v) Continue to seek funding for technology in spite of challenges
Technology Connects Schools And Homes
As computers become increasingly popular in today’s homes, teaches have greater
opportunities to communicate with students and parents. Many teachers maintain class
websites that contain teacher contact information, calendars, assignments sheets, parent
notices, links to internet resources and social networking tools to encourages ongoing
communication. Class websites are often supported by a school or district server or by one
of the free or inexpensive web hosting services, such as Wikispaces for educators.
Common links on teacher websites include basic skills practice, online
demonstrations, or content-specific reference information. The internet also offers students
help their work.
Another useful site, Infoplease Homework Center, provides students access to
resources categorized by subject area and skills (writing, research, speaking, listening,
studying). The site also has links to searchable references (almanacs, atlas, dictionary,
encyclopedia, and biographies), tools (conversion calculator, distance calculator), practice
tools (math flashcards, spelling bee), links to current events by year.
6. With this increased communication between school and home, it is possible to
lengthen the time devoted to learning. Technology permits teachers to send homework and
assignments over network to homes. Parents, students and teachers are able to interact
about the assignments. Students can access their personal data files from home and also
connect to instructional materials housed on the school’s computer. However, as mentioned,
teachers who assign technology based homework need to assist underserved students in
finding alternative ways of accessing digital resources to ensure equitable learning
opportunities.
The Choice Of Online Education.
According to the 2010 International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL) “Fast
Facts about Online Learning” report, there has been explosive growth of online learning
opportunities in PK-12 environments. Specifically in 2000, there was approximately 50,000
students enrolled in K-12 online education as compared to 320,000 in 2009 (iNACOL, 2010).
Florida Virtual School (FLVS) has growth from being the first state-run Internet-based high
school in 1997 to a nationally recognized e-learning model with over 71,000 students
enrolled globally in 2009. FLVS reaches beyond Florida by providing customized e-learning
solution for schools in approximately 40 countries. FLVS is the only public school whose
states funding is tied directly to student performance. FLVS offers online students multiple
resources such as a virtual library, information sessions, student clubs, Facebook updates,
and a tour of an online course for new users. Typically, statewide programs are free of cost
to residents and often target students in rural, high-poverty or low-performing school.
Online course are often provided on school campuses as a way for students to have
access to computers with high speed internet access. Scholarships and computer donation
programs assist students from low-income families who need to complete online courses at
homes.
Students of tomorrow will have multiple distance education opportunities because
online learning bridges the gap of distances, poverty and limited course offerings in small
schools. However, Watson (2005) cautions educators to carefully examine their distance
education programs to ensure that the benefits match those of public schools, especially
with regard to ensuring equitable access to all students. States must recognize and support
distance education initiatives with policies and funding if future programs are to be
sustainable and of high quality.
Overall 21st century learning environments provide new opportunities for the teachers
to expand student learning opportunities by creating “global classroom”. They also use
technology and media to address the diverse needs of students to improve communication
with students and parents, and to explore online learning options to better meet the
individual learning requirements of students.
