Lesson 5 Preferences of Technology Generation

      TEXT VERSUS VISUAL

• Our parents read book texts, enriched by illustrations and photos. In order to research, they go to school library, use the cart catalog for needed book, and sign up to borrow books for home reading. The technology or digital generation has greater affinity to visuals compared with texts.

        LINEAR VERSUS HYPER MEDIA

• The past 30 years old generation has obtained information in a linear logical and sequential manner On the positive side, This made them more Logical, focused, and reflective thinkers

        INDEPENDENT VERSUS SOCIAL LEARNERS

• The traditional education system gives priority to independent learning, prior to participate work. New learners however, are acquainted with digital tools that adopt both personal and participative work.

        LEARNING TO DO VERSUS LEARNING TO PASS THE TEST

• Old teachers teach students in order to help them pass the test and complete the course requirement. On the other hand, the new digital learners simply wish to acquire skills, knowledge and habits as windows of opportunity afford them to learn.

         DELAYED REWARDS AND INSTANT GRATIFICATION

• The traditional reward system in education consists in the grades, honor certificates/ medals, diplomas. On the other hand, Digital learners on their own experience more immediate gratification through immediate scores from games.

         ROTE MEMORY VERSUS FUN LEARNING

• Teachers feel obliged to delivering content - based courses, the learning of which is by measurable standard tests. Digital learners prefer for learning which is relevant and instantaneously useful to them. Learning is to new learners and not surprisingly there is much fun is the digital world outside the school.

Lesson 4 Bridging the Generation Gap

       GAP-  The older  generation often feels a generation gap between them and younger generation. This is apparent in simple things like the manner of dressing, socializing, more intimate relationships like friendship and marrying etc. Even in education, traditional schooling has hardly changed even with the clear evidence of a digital world.

        GENERATION GAP

• Dressing
• Socializing
• Intimate relationships like friendship and marrying

         First, we need to understand the potentials of ICT

• The new network of instantaneous communication is global, overcoming borders between countries and continents.
• Much of what elders believe may not be applicable anymore to the new generations, especially along matters of traditional value systems.
• Alvin Toffler's book, Future shock, show how the information  age has begun to create many cultural changes in the family, societies, businesses, governments  such as what he calls throw- away society, modular man, kinetic image, scientific trajectory. fractured family, surfeit of sub- cults, psychological dimensions.

Lesson 3 Understanding Technology Learners

Understanding Technology Learners

Our Teachers today generally use the traditional education program applicable to learners of the past, acquainted with linear, textual and sequential learning. They fail to realize that the new generation of the 21st millennium is not the kind of learner that they were, but are information Technology or digital learners.

           The 21st century education is going to be empowered by digital learners pretty soon as the beginning is coming

•    53% of students use a smart phone and are concerned and prefer the internet.
•    78%  of the students believe and prefer learning through technology.

            Even in classes, their concentration is questionable as they  are uneasy to simply sit and listen. They become alive again through video presentation, group activities and computer classes.

Information Technology Learners ( Digital Learners) - A video presentation is discussing the characteristics of a digital learner.

21st Century Learning is done with:

            COLLABORATION- Learning how to work with others to achieve a common purpose Students bring gadgets with  them as well as presenting the knowledge the knowledge and abilities they have to come up with a product solution.

            COMMUNICATION- Students use their mobile devices to discuss content they are learning with others. set goals for themselves, and share new concepts The lines of communication now become multi- dimensional and extend beyond the classroom.

            CRITICAL THINKING- helps to construct a firm foundation for personalized learning In many classroom, Teachers don't provide the time necessary for critical thinking order to develop original solutions to problems. May of the problems that are provided to students also have only one possibly night or wrong answer and don't encourage true critical thinking.

             CREATIVITY- Students make use of their imagination as well as technologies to create new things. To think beyond thinks.

Lesson 2 Overview on Education 2

Educational Technology 2

- Concerned with " Integrating Technology into teaching and learning"

For Learners:

      - To introduce , reinforce, supplement and extend knowledge and skills so that they can became exemplary users of educational Technology.

For students Teachers and Professional teachers:

       - To update their knowledge and educational technology

Educational technology 2

    - involved a deeper understanding of the computer as well as hands on application of computer skills.

        - Aims to infuse technology in the student. teachers training. helping them to adapt and meet rapid and continuing technological changes, particularly in the global ICT environment.

Learning Objectives of Ed. Tech 2

1. To provide education in the use of technology in instruction.
2. To impart learning experiences in instructional technology supported instructional planning.
3. To acquaint students on IT related learning theories with the computer as tutor.
4. To learn to use and evaluate computer based educational resources.
5. To engage learners on practical technology integration issues.
6. To inculcate higher level thinking and creativity among students while providing them knowledge on IT related learning theories.

         Basic concepts on integrating technology in instructions

Manifestation of technology integration into instruction

1. There's a change in the way classes are traditionally conducted
2. The quality instructions is improved to a higher level in such way could nit have been achieved without educational technology.
3. There's planning by teacher on the process of determining on how and when educational technology fits into teaching learning process.
4. The teacher sets instructional strategies to address specific instructional issues/ problems
5. The use of technology provides the opening of  opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/ problems.
6. Technology occupies  a position in the instructional process.

 Level of Integration

1. Simple/ Basic Integration - Technology helps but it does not play a pivotal role.

2. Middle level Integration-There is purposeful use of technology to support key learning areas.

3.  High level Integration - Technology is the central instruction tool/  center of teaching learning process.
