Lesson 5 Preferences of Technology Generation

           TEXT VERSUS VISUAL

• Our parents read book texts, enriched by illustrations and photos.In order to research they go to the school library, use the cart catalog for needed books, and sign up to borrow books for home reading. The technology  or digital generation has greater affinity to visuals compared with texts.

            LINEAR VERSUS HYPER MEDIA

• The past 30 years old generation has obtained information in a linear logical and sequential manner.On the positive side, this has made them more logical, focused, and reflective thinkers.

             INDEPENDENT VERSUS SOCIAL LEARNERS

• The traditional education system gives priority to independent learning, prior to participative work. New learners, however, are already acquainted with digital tools that adopt both personal and participative work.

             LEARNING TO DO VERSUS LEARNING TO PASS THE TEST

• Old teachers teach Students in order to help them past the test and complete the course requirement . n the other hand, The new digital learners simply wish to acquire skills, knowledge and habits as windows of opportunity afford them to learn.

              RELATED REWARDS AND INSTANT GRATIFICATION

• The traditional  reward system in education  consists in the grades, honor certificates/ medals, and diplomas. On the other hand, digital learners on their own experience more immediate gratification through immediate scores from games.

               ROTE MEMORY VERSUS FUN LEARNING

• Teachers feel obliged to delivering content based courses, the learning of which is measurable by standard texts. Digital learners prefer for learning which is relevant and instantaneously useful  to them. Learning is play to new learners and not surprisingly there is which fun in the digital world outside the school.

Lesson 4 Bridging the Generation Gap

    GAP- The older generation often feels a generation gap between them and the younger generation. This is apparent in simple things like the manner of dressing, socializing, more intimate relationships like friendship and marrying etc. Even in education, Traditional schooling has hardly changed even with the clear evidence of a digital world.

    GENERATION GAPS

• Dressing
• Socializing
• Intimate relationships friendship and marrying

    First, we need to understand the potentials of ICT

• The new network of instantaneous communication is global, overcoming borders between countries and continents.
• Much of what elders believe may not be applicable anymore to the new generations, especially along matters of traditional value systems.
• Alvin Toffler's book,Future Shocks, show how the information age has begun to create many cultural changes in the family, Societies, businesses, governments such as what he calls throw- away society, modular man, kinetic image, scientific trajectory, Fractured family, surfeit of sub- cults, psychological dimensions.

Lesson 3 Understanding Technology Learners

             Our teachers today generally  use the  traditional education program applicable to learners of the past, acquainted with linear, Textual and sequential learning. They fail to realize that the new generation of the 21st millennium is not the kind of learner that they were, but are information technology or digital learners:

              The 21st century education is going to be empowered by digital learners pretty soon as the beginning is coming.

• 53% of student use a smart phone and are connected and prefer the internet.
• 78% of the students believe and prefer learning through technology.

               Even in classes, their concentration is questionable as they are uneasy to simply sit and listen. They become alive again through video presentations, group activities and computer classes.

               Information Technology learners ( Digital Learners) -  A video is presented in discussing the characteristics of a digital learner.

          21st Century Learning is done with: 

• COLLABORATION - Learning how to work with others to achieve a common purpose. students with them as well as presenting the knowledge the knowledge and abilities they have to come up with a product solution.

• COMMUNICATION -  Students use mobile devices to discuss content they are learning with others, Set goals for themselves, and share new concepts The lines of communication new become multi- dimensional beyond the classroom.

• CRITICAL THINKING- helps to construct a firm foundation for personalized learning In many classroom, teachers don't provide the time necessary for critical thinking in order to develop original solutions to problems. Many of the problems that are provided to students also have only one possible right or wrong answer and don't encourage true critical thinking.

• CREATIVITY- Students make use of their imagination as well as technologies to create new things. To think beyond things.

Lesson 2 Overview of Education Technology 2

Educational Technology 2

                     - concerned with "Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning."

      For Learners:

                  -To introduce reinforce, supplement and extend knowledge and skills so that they can  become exemplary users educational technology.

       For Students,Teachers and professional Teachers:

                     -To update their knowledge of educational technology

       

       Educational Technology 2

                  

      - involved a deeper understanding of the computer as well as hands on application of computer skills.

     -Aims to infuse technology in the students, teachers  training, helping hem to adapt and meet rapid and continuing technological changes, particularly in the global ICT environment.

   -Used information technology to improve instruction but the school management program and curriculum.

       Learning of Objectives of Ed. Tech 2

1. To provide education in the use of technology in instruction.
2. To impart learning experiences in instructional technology supported instructional planning.
3. To acquaint students on IT related learning theories with the computer as tutor.
4. To learn to use and evaluate computer based on educational resources./
5. To engage learners on practical technology integration issues.
6. To inculcate higher level thinking and creativity among students while providing them knowledge of related learning theories.

Basic Concepts on Integrating Technology in instructions.

Manifestations of Technology integration Into instruction

1. There's a change in a way classes are traditionally conducted
2. The quality instruction is improved t a higher level in such a way good not have been achieved without educational technology.
3. There is planning by teacher on the process of determining On how and when educational fits into teaching and learning.
4. The teacher sets instructional strategies to address specific instructional issues/ problems.
5. The use of technology provides the opening of opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/ problems.
6. Technology occupies a position in the instructional process.

Level of Integration

1. Simple / basic Integration- Technology helps but it does not play pivotal role.
2. Middle level Integration- There is purposeful use of technology to support key learning areas.
3. High Level Integration -Technology is the Central instruction tool/ center of teaching learning process.

Lesson 1 Review of Educational Technology 1

Educational Technology 1
-is the application of technology in educative process that takes place in education institutions.


4 phases of application of educational technology in teaching learning process

1. Setting of learning objectives.
2. Designing specific learning experiences.
3. Evaluating the effectiveness of the learning experiences.
4. Revising teaching learning process for improving future instructional activities.

Technology in Education

      - is the application of technology in the operation of education institution.

Instructional Technology 

       -is refers to aspects of education technology that are concerned with instruction.

Technology  Integration

       - is using technologies to introduce supplement and extend skills.

Roles of Technology in Learning

1. Technology as tools to support knowledge construction
2. Technology as intellectual partner to support learning by reflecting,
3. Technology as social medium to support learning by conversing.
4. Technology as context to support learning by doing.
5. Technology as information vehicles for exploring knowledge.

Learning Objectives of Education Technology

1. To orient the learner of Educational technology in  society.
2. To lend familiarization on how educational technology can be utilize as media for teaching learning process.
