HOW DO WE INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY
IN TEACHING UNDER LOW RESOURCED
ENVIRONMENT.

4. ”If properly integrated, has
the potential to enhance the
teaching and learning
process”

6. Session
“Essential Agreements”

7. Goal
Contextually relevant and innovative instructional approaches
and strategies in technology integration in teaching.
Learning opportunities
• Understanding the difference between integrating
and using technology in teaching
• Understanding how technology supports learning
• Identifying areas where technology could be
integrated in different subject at different levels
• Searching for a resource and planning on how to
integrate it in teaching.

8. A powerful tool to supplement teachers’
instruction in classroom.
If properly used by teachers, technology
can foster more interest in learning on the
part of students, and teachers can use it
in the instruction of their respective
subjects.
Technology has the potential to make
instruction easier, more challenging and
motivating for teachers.
(Jhurree, 2005).

in our schools
PRESENTATION

12. A new society requires new skills: Due to the fact that
ICTs are the preeminent tools for information processing,
new generations need to become competent in their use,
should acquire the necessary skills, and therefore must have
access to computers and networks during their school life.
Productivity enhancement: Schools are knowledge-
handling institutions; therefore, ICTs should be fundamental
management tools on all levels of an educational system,
from classrooms to ministries.
A quest for quality learning: Schools should profoundly
revise present teaching practices and resources to create
more effective learning environments and improve life-long
learning skills and habits in their students.
Hepp, Hinostroza, Laval and Rehbein (2004)

13. INTERGRATE VS USE
What's the difference?

14. Definitions (English)
• transitive and intransitive verb make into whole:
to join two or more objects or make something
part of a larger whole, or be joined or made part
of a larger whole "integrating light rail into the
regional transportation plan"
• transitive verb benefit from something: to
benefit or get satisfaction from something

15. Technology
Information communication technology (ICT):
The term ICT encompasses the range of
hardware (desktop and portable computers,
projection technology, calculators, data-
logging, and digital-recording equipment),
software applications (Generic software such as
excel, access and multimedia resources such as
flash, video and power point), and information
systems (Intranet, Internet)

16. • …education that is organized in such as
way that it cuts across subject-matter lines,
bringing together various aspects of the
curriculum into meaningful association to
focus upon broad areas of study. It views
learning and teaching in a holistic way and
reflects the real world, Which is interactive?
Shoemarker(1989)

adjunct use.

19. Integration
• It is important to integrate technology
based on the four principles
– enhancement,
– retrieval,
– reversal,
– obsolescence.
• Integration should allow for enriching,
enhancing and maximizing learning.

23. WHAT INFLUENCES LEARNING
What the learner already knows – prior knowledge
Learner’s interest – motivation
Prior knowledge:
A determinant of WHAT further learning can
occur

24. Three Way Relationship

Learned and reinforced Learning through

everyday communication these to be discovered)

25. Learning
• Influences the PROCESS
whereby learning occurs.
• Motivation: Learning styles and
Multiple Intelligences.
• Ausubel “rote learning
set/meaningful learning set”
central

26. Ausubel
• “If I was to reduce all of educational psychology
to just one principle, I would say this: the most
important single factor influencing learning is
what the learner already knows.” (1968)
• He argued that for “meaningful learning” the
learner must make a conscious effort to relate
new knowledge to existing knowledge, to
identify key conceptions in the new knowledge
and relate these to other key ideas.

28. Meaningful Learning
• Degree of meaningful learning depends on the
NATURE of existing knowledge and HOW it
interacts with new learning
• Those aspects of existing knowledge which
provide these interactions are “subsumers”
• Logically meaningful materials DO NOT
AUTOMATICALLY mean psychologically
meaningful learning
• Advanced organizers – an approach to assisting
learning when there are no “subsumers”
(existing knowledge to allow appropriate
linkages

29. INFORMATION PROCESSING
The conversion of latent information into manifest information
SOME KEY IDEAS IN THIS VIEW OF LEARNING
• SELECTING
• CHUNKING THINGS EVERYBODY DOES
• PROCESSING
OR
• INTEGRATING
• EXTENDING THINGS GOOD LEARNERS DO
• MONITORING

30. Information Processing in Classroom
Teaching
1. Gain the students' attention.
2. Bring to mind relevant prior learning.
3. Point out important information.
4. Present information in an organized manner
5. Show students how to categorize (chunk)
related information.

31. Information Processing in Classroom
Teaching
6. Provide opportunities for students to elaborate
on new information.
7. Show students how to use coding when
memorizing lists.
8. Provide for repetition of learning.
9. Provide opportunities for over learning of
fundamental concepts and skills.

32. Teaching
Three types of Learning theories that
have impacted teaching and learning
with ICT.
Tutor, Tutee and Tool.
– Computer as tutor
– Computer as Tutee.
– Computer as Tool.

34. What is
AFFORDANCE

35. Identifying Affordance
1. What is the affordance i.e.
opportunities for learning
2. What is facilitating the affordance or
providing the opportunity.
3. What is promoting the degree of
affordance?
4. What is the source of information?

36. Activity
While integrating technology you need to review affordance based
on elements that support affordance
Affordance for Elements that Elements that may Elements that
students Provide increase degree provide
