o Makes learning easy and effective - Simple mnemonics or conceptual maps
o It emphasizes learner-centered approaches - Refers to fundamental knowledge necessary
where students use technology to construct their for students to achieve more complex higher
own knowledge rather than passively receiving order thinking such as critical thinking, and
information. creativity, inquiry, and production.
o This aligns with constructivist learning theories. b) Structural Knowledge
- Educational apps like google docs - Consists of facts or pieces of declarative
- Collaborative platforms knowledge put together to attain some form
- Research tools of meaning.
- Project-based learning tools - An example of declarative knowledge is pencil.
o In this domain, students are active learners rather - The idea that evolved from a pencil is an
than passive receivers understanding that: “it is something used to
write”
By dividing technology into these three domains, Stosic - This is referred to as structural knowledge,
(2015) illustrates the multifaceted role technology can play - It can be presented by concept maps,
in education—both as a tool for teachers and as a categorization, or classification.
resource for empowering students. c) Procedural Knowledge
- Knowledge in action
 - Knowledge of how to do something
- Based on facts but learned through the
process of procedural knowledge.
- Examples: how to drive a car, how to use a cell
phone, how to speak English
- Indicated by a performance task or graphical
representation of a concept.

2) Technology enhances learners’ communication

skills through social interactions.
o Transmittal of information from one person to
another as single individual or groups of individuals.
o According to Shirly (2003) in Egbert (2009), there
are three basic communication patterns:
a) Point-to-point two-way or one-to-one
- chat
- phone conversation
- face-to-face conversation
b) One-to-many
- Lecture
- Television
c) Many-to-many
- Group discussions
- Buzz session
- Heads together
- This kind of interaction provides
opportunities for social interaction
o Benefits derived from technology-supported
communication
a) Enables any teacher to guide the learners
virtually and making learning unlimited because
communication and social interaction go
beyond a school day or a school environment
b) Enhances student’s 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.
d) Help learners solve problems from multiple
sources since there is limitless sources of
information that the teacher can direct or refer
to the learners
e) Teachers and learners learn 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

3) Technology upgrades learner’s higher-order-

thinking skills; critical thinking, problem solving and
creativity
o 21st century learning requires the development of
higher-order thinking skills
