COMMUNICATION AIDS AND

STRATEGIES USING TOOL OF

TECHNOLOGY

MAM SALVE
The Technology has changed the
world of Teaching and Learning
How we use makes the Difference ;

• Effects of Technology on
Learning and Teaching:
• What the experience teaches us
 Why use technology ?

• Interactivity
• Content delivery/revision
• Managing learning and resources
• Collaboration
• Communication
• Sense of cohort
• Variety of teaching and learning preferences
• Formative and summative assessment
 How it helps to students or to people?
• Allows students more control of their own learning
• Allows lecturers to guide more, teach less
• Allows student to build up knowledge, and become part of the teaching
process
• Can provide some really engaging learning experiences
• Teachers can provide “scaffolding” and safety nets
• “At risk” students can be identified more quickly
• Collaborating can be very well supported
Integrating Internet-based
Technology into Teaching/Learning
• Reasons for using technology in education:
• provides opportunities for more learner-centered instruction;
• permits instruction to be contextualized;
• allows students to explore, make mistakes, and learn from their errors;
• leads to more active and interactive modes of instruction; and
• results naturally in greater collaboration, cooperation, and small group
work

(Gillespie 1998; Kearsley and Shneiderman 1998; Petraglia 1998).

Integrating Internet-based
Technology into Teaching/Learning
Internet-based Technologies
❖ Internet-based
* internet
* e-mail
* discussion boards
* video conferencing
* white-boards
* Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
Best Practices in Higher Education
1. Good Practice Encourages Contacts Between Students and Faculty
2. Good Practice Develops Reciprocity and
Cooperation Among Students
3. Good Practice Uses Active
Learning Techniques
4. Good Practice Gives Prompt
Feedback
 What technological Teaching
• For some it might mean using PowerPoint or student classroom
response systems in lectures; others may think of podcasting lectures;
and still others may think of specific disciplinary applications, such as
designing Web-based interactive learning modules and simulations to
teach skills and concepts.
 Why we need Technology …..
Technology ushers in fundamental structural
changes that can be integral
to achieving significant improvements in
productivity.
Used to support both teaching and learning.
Technology infuses
• Technology infuses classrooms with digital learning
tools, such as computers and handheld devices;
expands course offerings, experiences, and learning
materials.
 Blended learning
• Blended learning has the opportunities to incorporate both face to-face and
online learning opportunities. The degree to which online learning takes
place, and the way it is integrated into the curriculum, can vary across the
schools.
 Instructional technology
•Instructional technology (IT) has become an
important part of teaching and learning
within the classroom as well as working with
fully online environments. Resources for
educating and assisting faculty about the best
practices for using technology has become
crucial.
 Technology influences Teaching
• Using technology to enhance teaching and
learning practices in the classroom is becoming
common place. Students constantly interact with
technologies such as iPod, mobile phones, the
internet and social networking tools outside the
classroom and have an expectation that these
technologies will also support their learning in the
classroom.
 Infusing Technology into Classrooms
❖ How is technology used as a tool to enhance education?
* COMMUNICATE
* COLLABORATE
* CONTENT ENGAGEMENT
* ORGANIZATION/MANAGEMENT
* Expand and Maximize Learning
* View “Favorite Online Resources”
 Technology facilitates only
• Learning is seen as essentially a social process,
requiring communication among learner, teacher
and others. This social process cannot effectively
be replaced by technology, although technology
may facilitate it.
 Technology Integration
❖ The goal of technology integration is to use technology seamlessly in
the classroom so that the technology itself is invisible in support of
learning a standards-based curriculum.
❖ Employing technology provides a variety of new ways to learn, and
in the process, foster independent thinking, problem solving, and
collaborative learning.
Implement, Integrate, Infuse
• Seamless technology
• Participate in technology-based instruction
• Storyboard of lesson plan
• Scaffolding, templates
• How to, step by step
• Infuse resources: funding, software, equipment,
people, training, supplies and students.
• Allow flexibility and role shift.
