Learning Outcomes
Clarify technology integration as a process.
Compare and critique the SMAR model with the TPAK
model of technology integration.
Relate the value of using technology integration model
in designing learning activities.
Technology Integration
The advances and telecommunication have remarkably
transformed man’s capacity to performed practically all
his daily tasks.
The education sector is quite slow in addressing the call
to reinvent educational practices in tune with digital
language of the time.
Integrating technology in teaching and learning is quite a
simple message, stated in simple language, but
surprisingly quite not simple in actual practice.
Understanding Technology Integration
Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than
teaching basic computer skills and software application in a
computer class. Effective technology integration is achieved when
the use technology are routine and transparent when technology
support circular goals.
Technology integration describes how classroom
teachers use technology to introduce, reinforce,
extend, enrich, assess, and remediate student
mastery of curricular targets.
Technology integration involves the infusion of
technology as a tool to enhance the learning in a
content area of multidisciplinary setting.
(Fish, 2011)
Technology integration is using computers
effectively and efficiently in the general content
areas to allow students to learn how to apply
computer skill in meaningful ways.
Technology integration is using software supported
by the business world for real-world applications so
students learn to use computers flexibly,
purposefully, and creatively.
Technology integration is having the curriculum drive
technology usage, not having technology drive the
curriculum. It involves organizing the goals of
curriculum and technology into a coordinated,
harmonious whole (Jolene 1999)
Technology Integration Model
The SAMR Model
Modification
Tech allows for the significant task redesign
Enhancemen
Augmentation
Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement
Substitution
t
AUGNAMENTATION
-where technology is a direct substitute, but there is
functional improvements over what you did without
the technology.
MODIFICATION
-where technology allows you to significantly
redesign the task.
REDEFINITION
- where technology allows you to do what was
previously not possible.
