1. Teaching and Learning with Technology:
An Introduction
Understanding the Basic Concepts
in ICT

2. I. Overview
If there is one thing that changed the world so fast, it is
TECHNOLOGY. While there exists technology in the past as
non-digital technology, the current digital technology has been a
factor that shrunk the world and made it flat. It has provided a
new environment for learning, new ways teachers teach and also
the new ways of how learners learn. In the beginning, it has
created a divide between the digital natives and the digital
immigrants. However as the years go by, such divide has become
narrower and even blurred. This has led to the new educational
revolution in teaching and learning which has been triggered by
technology and resulted to better learning outcomes in the 21"
century.

3. "I think we need to be careful not to get too
specific (i.e. technology = computers) while at the
same time not getting so broad that our definition of
technology includes everything from pencil and
paper to lasers and computers. I'd like to see us
define technology in a manner that looks at
electronic tools we use to enhance teaching and
learning. " Sally, grade teacher from Joy Egbert
(2009).

4. II. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)
At the end of this module, you should be able to:
a.Define conceptually or operationally terms that
are basic to the understanding of ICT
b.Used the concepts and terms in communicating
with peers for further
understanding

5. Lecture Content/Summaryof Lesson
Let us explore various resources to have a clear understanding of this
lesson. Let us unpack some concepts and terms related to technology for
teaching and learning. You can further find more explanation in this book as
you go along with your lessons or in other references in the library or in the
web.
Here are some terms and concepts that you need to know and
understand.
1. Technology refers to a mix of process and product used in the application
of knowledge. It includes tools from pencil and paper to the latest electronic
gadgets and tools for practical tasks.
2. Information and Communication Technology Literacy or ICT Literacy is
the use of digital technology, communication tools and/or networks to access,
manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information in order to
function in a knowledge society (Guro 21, 2011).

6. 3. Educational Technology refers to the use of technology in teaching and learning.
Educational technology includes both the non-digital (flip charts, pictures, models,
realias, etc.) and digital (electronic tools: hardware, software and connections, etc.).
4. Digital Literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, utilize, share and create contents
using information technologies and the Internet (Cornell University). According to
American Library Association (2018), digital
literacy is the ability to use information and communication, requiring both cognitive
and technical skills (hptts:// edweek.org. downloaded 06- 03-18).
5. Digital learning is any type of learning that is accompanied by technology or by
instructional practice that makes effective use of technology. It encompasses the
application of a wide spectrum of practices which included blended or virtual learning.
It can come as online or off-line which utilizes digital technology.

7. 6. On-line digital tools and apps use an Internet connection
to access the information needed. A common example is
Skype. It is a telecommunication application software product
that specializes in providing video chat and voice calls
between computers, tablets, mobile devices via Internet and to
regular telephones.
7. Off-line digital tools and apps can still be used even if
there is no internet access. Among these are Canary Learning,
Pocket, Evertone, ibooks, KA LITE (Gupta, Prinyaka, 2017)
downloaded in edtech review (July 03, 2017).

8. 8. Instructional technology is the theory and practice of design,
development, utilization, management, and evaluation of the processes
and resources for learning (Association for Educational
Communications
and Technology, Seels, B.B. & Richey, P. C. 1994).
9. Software refers to program control instructions and
accompanying documentation, stored on disks or tapes when not being
used in the computer. By extension, the term refers to any audiovisual
materials (Smaldino, 2005).
10. Multimedia is a sequential or simultaneous use of a variety of
media formats in a given presentation or self-study program
(Smaldino, 2005).

9. 11. Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure.
It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in
which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as
they are connected to the Internet. It is generally defined as a global network
connecting millions of computers (https://www.webopedia.com).
12. World Wide Web (www) is also called the Web which is a graphical
environment on computer networks that allows you to access, view and
maintain documentations that can include text, data, sound and videos
(Smaldino, 2005). It is a way of accessing information over the medium of
the Internet. It is an information sharing model that is built on top of the
Internet.

10. 13. Web access is the ability of the learner to access the Internet
at any point during the lesson in order to take advantage of the
array of available education resources.
14. Webquest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most
or all information that learners work with comes from the web.
These can be created using various programs, including simple
word processing documents that include links to websites.
15. Productivity tools refer to any type of software associated
with computers and related technologies that can be used as tools
for personal, professional or classroom productivity. Examples:
Microsoft Office, Apple works - word processing, grade and record
keeping, web page production, presentation) (KFIT-Unesco 2016)

11. 16. Technology Tool is an instrument used for doing work. It can be anything that help you

Handheld computers,

12. 17. Webquest is a teacher structured research experience for the students that is
primarily based on use of the World Wide Web and typically takes one or more
instructional periods (Bender & Waller, 2011).
18. Blog is an online journal where posted information from both teachers and

15. VI. Supplemental Context
ICT is an acronym for information and communication
technology. A lot of people believe that IT and ICT are the same,
but it`s wrong. ICT is more broad term than IT. It covers all
technologies that can help people to develop communications and
manipulate information. ICT is a universal tool for the
globalization. Students of developed countries can`t imagine their
life without ICT. Moreover, it also serves as an assistant for
teacher all around the world. It`s impossible to imagine a modern
professional without basic knowledge of ICT. Furthermore, it`s
impossible to compete at the global without knowing the basics
of ICT.

16. However, there is also a negative influence from ICT
in education. For instance, let`s consider the Internet! It
is a fascinating treasure chest of knowledge but still, the
most visited websites today are related to the
entertainment industry and the biggest social network
today has more than one billion users! Therefore,
instead of studying, students prefer to spend their time
on entertainment, and this is only a tip of the iceberg!
