FOUNDATION OF
TEACHING WITH
TECHNOLOGY
SOPHIA CHARIS H. BASTO

2.
What is technology
about?
The branch of knowledge that deals with
the creation and use of technical means and
their interrelation with life, society, and the
environment. Technology is about creating
instructional environments that can facilitate
active engagement, meet the specific and
varying learning needs of the students, facilitate
collaborative problem solving, providing
students with authentic learning environments.

3.
Technology integration is the use of
technology resources -- computers,
digital cameras, CD-ROMs, software
applications, the Internet, etc. -- in daily
classroom practices, and in the
management of a school.
What Is Technology Integration

4.
Teachers should strive to make
technology a part of everyday life in the
classroom, while using it to enrich learning
activities. They should not use technology
just to use it

5.
Teachers should find ways to use
technology so that it enhances instruction
and improves student learning.

6.
The focus of technology integration
activities should not be on the technology
that is used, but on the student activities that
are conducted using technology.

7.
Technology integration does not
happen by accident. Teachers must learn how
to incorporate student use of technology into
meaningful activities in their lesson plans.

8.
There is a wide availability of new and emerging
technology tools that can assist teacher in making
teaching much easier and much more fun.
This integration has become even more essential
since technology is becoming the engine on which
teaching and learning operates. The world is therefore
forced to invest in the use of technology into
institutions to meet the needs of students.
WHY SHOULD I INTEGRATE
TECHNOLOGY IN MY TEACHING?

students to have 21st century skills.
