8. HOW TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED?
To achieve the desired outcomes of integrating technology into
the classroom, teachers must encourage to:
 Use technology to shift the emphasis from themselves to the learner
in teaching and learning;
 Understand that technology should be integral to the teaching and
learning process;
 See that technology enables the teacher to becomes a facilitator of
learning as well as a planner, guide, and mentor; and
 Use technology to move the focus away from low-level cognitive
tasks to higher-order thinking skills.
