2. THE ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF
EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Both teachers and the students are convinced about the
important contributions educational technology can offer.
If properly selected and used, instructional materials can
do the following:
1. Arouse and sustain the interest and attention of the
pupils/students to learn.
2.) Concretize abstract concepts/ideas to promote
meaningful learning.
3.) Makes learning more permanent because of the rich
experiences that they provide.

3. 4.) Provide self-activities for independent learning.
5.) Increae vocabulary by eliminating verbalism.
6.) Develop continuity of thought.
7.) Increase the quality of learning while decreasing
the time spent.
8.) Check pupils preparedness.
9.) Make learning more interactive, hence learning is
improved.

4.  Educational technology is the use of technology to
improve education. It is a systematic, iterative process
for designing instruction or training used to improve
performance. Educational technology is sometimes
also known as instructional technology or learning
technology.
 The study and ethical practice of facilitating learning
and improving performance by creating, using and
managing appropriate technological processes and
resources

5. IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN
EDUCATION
 Students demand it.
Students are engaging with technology constantly
outside of the classroom. Kids like to be interactive,
and learning through technology has now become a
part of their lifestyle.
 New teachers are demanding it.
The technology movement has been implemented in
post-secondary education as well as other professional
jobs. For new teachers, technology is considered a
necessity for the learning environment.

6.  Kids are the digital native.
Kids know technology better than most adults. It has
become the easiest way they learn, because it is such
an integral part of their life. Engaging with technology
in the classroom has not only helped them learn
better, but they also acquire multi-tasking skills. At
this day in age, they hardly know how to learn without
it. This knowledge is important, because they would
be way behind in the real world without it.

7.  Kids can learn at their own pace.
We know from years of experience that kids learn at
their own pace, but sometimes the traditional
classroom makes it difficult to do so. With the
integration of technology in education, children have
the ability to slow down and go back over lessons and
concepts, and more advanced kids can go ahead. It also
frees up the teacher to help kids on a more one-on-one
level.

8.  With technology, there are no limitations.
Having access to other information outside of the book
gives students many different ways to learn a concept.
Teachers can come up with creative ways to teach their
students that keeps them engaged. Technology has
changed the learning environment so that learning is
more hands-on. Schools throughout the nation are
diverse in income, and often kids don’t always get the
resources they need. The implementation of
technology in schools helps close that gap.

9.  Technology has the ability to enhance
relationships between teachers and students.
When teachers effectively integrate technology into
subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser,
content expert, and coach. Technology helps make
teaching and learning more meaningful and fun.
Students are also able to collaborate with their own
classmates through technological applications.

10.  Multitude of resources
Computers, tablets, and other forms of technology
bring multiple resources for the teacher that’s not in
the book. They not only keep students engaged with
exciting new features and apps, but also have other
ways to teach students material. Every kid learns
differently, and technology helps with this gap as well.
