INTRODUCTION

Because teaching and learning are inextricably linked, let us consider the functions of technology for teachers and teaching, as well as for students and learning.

• Technology as a tutor
• Technology as a teaching tool
• Technology as a learning tool

1. Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as the facilitator of learning

- It transforms a passive classroom to an interactive one.

2. Technology has modernized the teaching-learning environment

A. FOR TEACHERS AND TEACHING

-The teachers are assisted and supplemented with structured instructional materials for daily activities.

3. Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching

-There are arrays of teaching methods and strategies that can use technology which are found compatible with learning styles.

4. Technology opens new fields in educational researches

-The areas of teaching testing and evaluation are enhanced by technologies for teaching and learning.

5. Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcates scientific outlook

A. FOR TEACHERS AND TEACHING

-The teachers are encourage to imbibe skills to source these information with speed and accuracy.

6. Technology supports teacher professional development

-The availability of technology provides an alternative way of attending professional development online.

1. SUPPORT LEARNERS HOW TO LEARN ON THEIR OWN a. Declarative knowledge - consist of discrete pieces of information that answers the questions what, who, when and where. b. Structural knowledge - consist of facts or pieces of declarative knowledge put together to attain some form of meaning. c. Procedural knowledge - is a knowledge in action or the knowledge of how to do something.

B. FOR LEARNERS AND LEARNING

2. TECHNOLOGY ENHANCES LEARNERS' SKILLS THROUGH SOCIAL INTERACTIONS There are 3 basic communication patterns: a. Point to point two-way or one-to-one like internet chat, phone conversation or even fade-to-face conversation. b. One-to-many outbound like a lecture or television. There is no social interaction. c. Many-to-Many like group discussion, buzz session, heads together. This kind of interaction provides opportunities for social interaction.

B. FOR LEARNERS AND LEARNING

benefits derived from technology-supported curriculum

Enhances students' freedom to express and exchange ideas freely.

Enables learners to construct meaning from joint experiences.

Enables any teacher to guide the learners virtually and making learning unlimited.

benefits derived from technology-supported curriculum

Teaches learners to communicate with politeness.

Enhances collaboration by using communication strategies.

Help learners solve problems from multiple sources.

benefits derived from technology-supported curriculum

Develops critical thinking, problem solving and creativity.

3. TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES LEARNERS' THINKING SKILLS; CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING, AND CREATIVITY Critical thinking – is a part of the cluster of the higher order thinking skills. It refers to the ability to interpret, explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and self regulate in order to make good decisions.

B. FOR LEARNERS AND LEARNING

Teachers play a significant role in supporting learners with technology. How?

b. Use critical thinking tasks with appropriate level of challenge.

a. Ask the right questions

• Critical thinking questions should ask for clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth and logic.

Clarity: Here are some examples: Can you give examples of… Accuracy: What pieces of evidence support your claim? Precision: Exactly how much… Breadth: What do you think will the other group say about the issue?

how can teachers help?

• Teachers should be mindful of the readiness of the students.
• What are the simple ways that teacher should do?

1. Answer questions.2. Introduce new technologies.3. Modify the learners’ groupings.4. Modify the critical thinking task.5. Encourage curiosity.

CREATIVITY

It is characterized as involving the ability to think flexibly, fluently, originally and elaborately (Guildford, 1986 & Torrance, 1974 in Egbert, 2009).

iThese have been simplified into fewer categories. To be creative, one can use any of these strategies.1. Substitute – Find something else to replace to another. 2. Combine – Blend two things that do not usually go together. 3. Adapt – Look for other ways this can be used. 4. Modify/Magnify/Minify – Make a change, enlarge, and decrease. 5. Put to another use – Find other uses. 6. Eliminate – Reduce, remove. 7. Reverse – Changing perspectives to look at the problem in a completely different angle. All together, the strategies will be labelled as SCAMPER.

SEVEN CREATIVE STRATEGIES (Osborn, 1963)

What should teacher do to support student creativity? Here are some suggestions:1. Provide an enrich environment. 2. Teach creative thinking strategies. 3. Allow teachers to show what they can do. 4. Use creativity with technology.

Further, teachers can do the following to develop and enhance critical thinking, problem solving and creativity. As a future teacher, try these suggestions.1. Encourage students to find and use information from variety of sources both on-line and off-line. 2. Assist students to compare information from different sources. 3. Allow students to reflect through different delivery modes like writing, speaking or drawing. 4. Use real experiences and material to draw tentative decisions. 5. Involve students in creating and questioning assessment.

There are several critical thinking tools and technology software that can support critical thinking skills. 1. Encourages digital production projects 2. Popularizes e-learning modalities 3. Enhances global awareness and citizenship.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR SOMETHING YOU WANT TO CLARIFY?

CAN YOU DISTINGUISH THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TRADITIONAL WAY OF TEACHING/LEARNING AND THE MODERN WAY OF TEACHING/LEARNING (WITH TECHNOLOGY)?

WHICH DO YOU THINK IS MORE EFFICIENT IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS (TRADITIONAL OR MODERN)? WHY?

SUMMARY SUMMARIZE ALL THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED IN 1 TO 2 SENTENCES.
