Roles of Technology For Teaching and Learning

Technology plays three main roles in education according to the presentation: as a tutor to support the teacher, as a teaching tool to facilitate the teacher's work, and as a learning tool to make learning easier and more effective. It can support student learning, modernize the learning environment, improve the teaching and learning process, open new areas of educational research, enhance teacher competencies, and support teacher professional development. Specifically, technology helps students learn independently, improves their communication skills through social interaction, and develops their higher-order thinking skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

Roles of Technology

for Teaching and


Learning
Presented by: Fritzie D. Dayot
Learning Outcomes
1. Identified the roles of technology
in teaching and learning.
2. Appreciated the value of
technology in supporting student
learning.
21st Century Learning
3 Domains of EdTech (Stosic, 2015)
1. Technology as a tutor.
Together with the teacher,
technology can support the
teacher to teach another
person or technology when
programmed by the teacher
can be a tutor on its own.

2. Technology as a Teaching
Tool. Like a tutor,
technology is a teaching
tool, but can never replace a
teacher. But it is being used
to facilitate and lighten the
work of the teacher.

can be an effective tool
for learning. It makes
learning easier,
enjoyable, and more

1. Support learners to learn how to learn on


their own.
How can technology
support the learning of
learners to learn on
their own?
To teach content, time is always an issue for teachers. Oftentimes,
we hear teachers say: "Too many things to teach, too little time to
do."
Technology may be the answer, however the challenge is for the
teachers to use technology to learn the technology first. As a
facilitator of learning, the teacher can guide the students to look for
the resources and to utilize them appropriately.
What should be necessary is that the students are engaged, the task
should focus on questions like how, why, and which in addition to who,
what, when, and where.

2. Technology enhances
learners'communication skills through social
interactions.
How can technology
enhance
learners'communication
skills?
Social interaction occurs in two ways where the participants ask for
clarification, argue, challenge each other and work towards common
understanding.
Social interaction through communication occurs through technology
(directly between two persons in email, a cellphone, or other
communication technology).
It can also occur around technology like students discussing about a
problem posed by a software program or with support of technology like
teachers and students interacting about the worksheet printed from a
website. In all the three modalities mentioned, technology is inolved.

3. Technology upgrades learners'higher-


order-thinking skills: critical thinking,

How can technology upgrade the
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 a 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.
Teachers role to support learners critical thinking
with tecnology.
1. Ask the right questions
Critital thinking should ask for clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth,
and logic.

Clarity: Here are some examples, can you give examples of....
Accuracy: What pieces of information support your claim?
Precision: Exactly how much?
Breadth: What do you think will the other group say about the issue?

with tecnology.
2. Use critical thinking tasks with level of challange.
Teachers should be mindful of the readiness of students. Students who have higher ability may find the task too
easy, thus getting bored early, while those who have low ability may find the task too difficult. Thus, there is a
need to have activities that are appropriate for the learners. Thus, as teachers, you may do the following:
vary the questions asked introduce new technologies modify the learners' groupings encourage curiousity

By nature, learners are curious. They ask a lot of questions all the time. These
questions will lead to critical thinking, but some of these questions cannot be
answered by the teacher. The unanswered questions can be answered using
technology.
Creativity
involves the ability to think flexibly, fluently, originally, and elaborately. Flexibly
means to be able to use many points of view while fluently means able to generate
many ideas. Originally means able to generate new ideas and elaborately means able
to add details. Creativity is not merely a set of technical skills but also inolves
feelings, beliefs, knowledge, and motivation.
Seven Creative Strategies (Osborn, 1963):
Substitute - find something else to replace to do what it does.
Combine - blend two things that do not usually go together.
Adapt - look for otehr ways this can be used.
Modify/Magnify/Minify - make a change, enlarge, decrease.
Put to another use - find other uses.
Eliminate - reduce remove.
Reverse - Turn upside-down, inside out, front-side back.
Teachers role to support student creativity?

1. Provide an enriched environment.


2. Teach creative thinking strategies.
3. Allow learners to show what they can do.
4. Use creativity with technology.
Further, teachers can do the following to develop and
enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, and
creativity of students using technology:
1. Encourage students to find and use information from variety of source both
on-oline and off-line.
2. Assist students to compare information from different sources.
3. Allow student to reflect though different delivery modes like writing,
speaking, or drawing.
4. Use real experiences and material to draw tentative decisions.
5. Involve students in creating and questioning assessment.
