LESSON 4 – Basic Concepts on Integrating Technology in Instruction

         To make technology a part of the learning and teaching process, the user of such technological devices should make them a source of reinforcement so that the objectives of educational objectives will be realized.  Teachers should avoid the use of computers for other purposes such as for enjoyment like games and other exploitive use of technology. 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. 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.

         The use of modern software technology in schools as part of the learning process has many levels.  Most teachers start from a simple or basic integration such as the use of computer to present more vivid and clearer illustrations of the subject matter to be learned.  They can also ask students to send thru e-mail assigned task.  From these simple utilization of the computer, the teacher can create activities involving the students in team work by giving them specific situations wherein they use computer based materials to come up with the assigned tasks.  Examples are the use of software to present lessons more vividly, group activities to produce information materials on certain subject matters, exchange of ideas between schools and students of different nationalities.  In this way, students and teachers are now an integral part of our advancing modern global technology.
