LESSON 4: Integrating Technology in teaching means the use of technologies to Introduce Reinforce Supplement and Extend Sills.

There is No Integrative Process–if for example teachers make the students play a computer games to give them a rest period during classes.

External Manifestation of Technology

*    There’s a change in the way classes are traditionally conducted.

*     The quality of instruction is improved to a higher level in such way that could not have been    achieved without educational technology.

*     There is planning by the teacher on the process of determining how and when technology fits into the teaching learning process

*    The teacher sets instructional strategies to address specific instructional issues/problems.

*    The use of technology provides the opening to opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/problems.

*     In sum, technology occupies a position (is a simple or complex way) in the instructional process.

The teacher must adopt this technology and we must be informed about the proper ways of integrating technology because others have wrong understanding in applying technology in the teaching instructions. It doesn’t mean that once you used technology in teaching, it’s already the right integration of technology. We must also remember that there are still some consequences in using this.
