to promote computer skills,
rather, the course is primarily
directed at enhancing teaching-
learning through TECHNOLOGY

the student-teacher training,
helping them to adapt and meet
rapid and continuing technological
changes, particularly in the
thriving global information and
communication technology (ICT)
environment.
Objectives:
To provide education in the use of
technology in instruction by providing
knowledge and skills on technology
integration-in-instruction to learners.
To impart learning experiences in
instructional technology supported
instructional planning
To acquaint students on information
technology or IT-related learning theories
with the computer as a tutor
To learn to use and evaluate
computer-based educational
resources
To engage learners of practical
technology integration issues
including managing IT classrooms,
