3. The Student
I am Nikki B. Lucero,
a third-year student
taking up Bachelor of
Secondary
Education, Major in
Mathematics at
Cavite State
University – Main
Campus.

4. The Student
Educational Technology
is not just about the
things that we used
inside the classroom to
satisfy our educational
need and desire but it
also includes activities,
procedures and
processes.

5. Educational Technology in a Nut
Shell
• The word “technology” comes from the
Greek word techne which means craft or
art. Based on the etymology of the word
“technology”, the term educational
technology, therefore, refers to the art or
craft of responding to our educational
needs.

6. Educational Technology
“Technology is more than
hardware. Technology
consists of the designs
and the environments
that engage learners.” –
David H. Jonassen.

7. Educational Technology in a Nut
Shell
• Educational Technology – In essence, the
course aims to infuse technology in the
student-teachers training, helping them to meet
and adapt to rapid and continuing
technological changes, particularly in the
thriving global information and communication
technology (ICT) environment.

8. Educational Technology in Asia
Pacific Region

9. Educational Technology in Asia
Pacific Region
• This is my report in EDTC 22. Most of the
countries in the Asia Pacific Region particularly
(New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore,
Hong Kong) already adopted their own policies
and had created an educational technology
environment in their schools.
• They equipped them with facilities and venue for
the facilitation of learning to students and even to
teachers.

10. Educational Technology in Asia
Pacific Region
• Teachers are given trainings in the use of these
facilities as well as with the core skills and
competencies in the use of ICT in their
classroom discussions.
• The state policies for these technologies differ
from one country to another depending from
their culture and geographical locations or as the
need for it may arise and/or the usefulness of
which in the capacity building of their nation.

11. Basic Concepts in Integrating
Technology in Instruction
• Technology occupies a position in a simple or
complex way in the instructional process.
• For us to make technology a part of the
learning and teaching process, we as the
users of such technological devices should
make them a source of reinforcement so that
the educational objectives will be realized.

12. Basic Concepts in Integrating
Technology in Instruction
• Students must be guided as to how to
gather information and full utilization of the
computers to aid them in performing
assigned projects in connection with their
subjects.

13. Basic Concepts in Integrating
Technology in Instruction
• The teacher must see to it that the students
are given the necessary skills needed to
make full use of the software to help them
understand and realize the objectives of their
curriculum assignments given should include
the use of computers and software thus
integrating them into the learning process.

14. State-of-the-Art ET Application
Practices
• With our progressive state policies that
support technology-in-education, our
educators today have become more aware
and active in adopting state-of-the-art
educational technology practices they can
possibly adopt.

15. State-of-the-Art ET Application
Practices
• Following modern trends in technology-
related education, schools should now foster
a student - centered learning environment,
wherein students are given leeway to use
computer information sources in their
assignments, reports and presentation in
written, visual, or dramatic forms.

16. IT Enters A New Learning
Environment
• In the tradition method of training, students
learn to rote, memorization and set
instruction from their teachers. They
imbibe knowledge from what and how their
teachers import information to them.

17. IT Enters A New Learning
Environment
• In the use of modern technology students
are encouraged to seek ideas and apply
them to personal experiences. They are
made aware of new information which they
can relate and apply to their own lives to
add to what they already know.

18. IT for Higher Thinking Skills and
Creativity
• In the traditional information absorption
model of teaching, the teacher organizes
and presents information to students-
learners.
• Today, students are expected to be not
only cognitive, but also flexible, analytical
and creative.

19. IT for Higher Thinking Skills and
Creativity
• Teachers are now guided on their goal to
help students achieve higher level thinking
skills and creativity beyond the ordinary.

20. IT for Higher Thinking Skills and
Creativity
• The students , not the teachers, make
decisions about what to put into the
project, how to organize information, how
to package the outcomes for presentation,
and the like.

21. IT for Higher Thinking Skills and
Creativity
• As a future teacher, we must take into
consideration the process in every project
because in the process, the students were
able to think and apply their creativity as
results they have develop their higher
order thinking skills.

22. Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-
Based Projects
• In this, it is the students themselves who
demonstrate higher thinking skills and
creativity through such activities searching
for information, organizing and synthesizing
ideas, creating presentations, and the like.

23. Computers as Information and
Communication Technology
• But the evolving pace of innovation in
today’s computer age Information Age is so
dynamic that within the first decade of the
21st century, computer technology in
education has matured to transform into an
educative information and communication
technology (ICT) in education.

24. The Computers as a Tutor
• It should be made clear that, however, that the
computer cannot totally replace the teacher since the
teacher shall continue to play the major roles of
information deliverer and learning environment
controller.
• The computer is a tutor in this new age of learning. It
does not replace the teacher, although it assumes
certain roles previously assigned to teachers who now
has to take the new role of facilitator and guide.

25. The Computers as a Tutor
• Computer activities are not the end-all of
learning since they have to conform to the
lessons/curriculum.
• Computers will become an integral
component of the future classroom and
not a mere machine that can deliver
routine drills and exercises.

26. The Computer as the Teacher’s
Tool

27. The Computer as the Teacher’s
Tool
• One of the capabilities of computer is that
it serves as an informative tool. Why? It is
because the computer can provide vast
amounts of information in various forms,
such as texts, graphics, sound and video.
Even multimedia encyclopedias are today
available in the Internet.

28. I.T. in Support of Student-Centered
Learning
• Desiring to gain effectiveness, efficiency and
economy in administration and instruction,
schools in these developed economies have
also adopted the support of ICTs. Their
students have now become active not
passive learners, who can interact with other
learners, demonstrating independence and
self-awareness in the learning process.

29. Learning Through Ed Tech 2
• I consider Educational Technology as one of the best subjects
that we, future teachers, really need because Educational
Technology 2 is concerned primarily with “Integrating Technology
into Teaching and Learning”. Necessarily Educational Technology
2 will involve a deeper understanding about the computer as well
as hands-on application of computer skills. This skill is one of the
skills that we must have as a future teacher since we are about
to teach the 21st Century Learners where these learners are
exposed in a more high-tech materials or simply they are
updated with the modern inventions and discoveries like
computers, laptops, tablets, phones, etc.

30. Learning Through Ed Tech 2
• Teachers must have to develop these skills through
extensive practice and analysis of the 21st century learner.
Meaning to say as a future teacher, we must be flexible
enough to adapt to these changes, we must be also
computer-literate or computer expert because nowadays
the classrooms are changing. From Traditional (Teacher-
Dominated) to CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction/Student
Centered Learning). Most of the classrooms, as we can
see, teachers are using laptops, projectors, white screen,
etc. in teaching and facilitating.

31. Learning Through Ed Tech 2
• I feel so blessed that I learned a lot from this
subject. From the first topic (Educational
Technology in Asia Pacific Region) up to
(Information Technology in Support of Student-
Centered Learning), not just about the information
or ideas but on how we can apply what we learned
in the real world because someday, in the field of
education, where we are about to teach, we can
use this knowledge and skills in becoming a better
and effective teacher.

32. Learning Through Ed Tech 2
• In our report, I like that we are having collaborative
activity where these activities focus on what we
learn from them and most especially the
application of computer in the teaching and
learning process. We are having debates, role
play, reflection paper, essays, computer works,
etc. With this we can easily retain what we have
learned in EDTC 2 because we are involved in
such a great activity. Remember the Dale’s Cone
of Experience:

33. Learning Through Ed Tech 2
90% of what we teach to each other (and
that’s collaboration). In the 21st Century
Learning, teachers must be connectors of
learning first and content expert seconds.
Thank God! We are exposed to various
collaborative activities which means we
can now value and appreciate the
essence of this strategy where someday
we are about to facilitate learners using
this teaching strategy integrated with
computer.

34. The Student After Ed Tech
• We must bear this in mind that studying
EDTC 2 is a significant thing most especially
to us future teachers. What we learned is that
we can apply this in our field and the skills
that we develop particularly computer skill
which enhances the teaching and learning
through technology integration contributes to
our quality in becoming globally competitive
teachers.

35. The Student After Ed Tech
• Since EDTC 2 has something to do with our
computer skills, it must be clear to everyone that
computers cannot replace the teachers. No matter
what modern technology we have, “Teachers are
teachers”. Computers are devices/things that need
the assistance/manipulation of Teachers (Human).
Teachers must continue the role of information
deliverer and learning environment controller.

36. The Student After Ed Tech
• That’s why we as future teachers we must be
knowledgeable and skilled enough to use
these technologies, as much as possible we
must explore and attend trainings and
seminars upon using these technologies
because these will just be non-sense and
useless if we can’t use these technologies
efficiently and effectively.

37. Thank you and
God Bless!
