LESSON 6: IT ENTERS A NEW LEARNING ENVIRONMENT It is most helpful to see useful models of learning that is ideal to achieving instructional goals through preferred application of Educational Technology. These conceptual models consists of: Meaningful Learning, Discovery Learning, Discovery Learning, Generative Learning and Constructivism. I. Meaningful Learning Meaningful learning refers to the concept that the learned knowledge (lets say a fact) is fully understood by the individual and that the individual knows how that specific fact relates to other stored facts (stored in your brain that is). II. Discovery Learning Discovery Learning is differentiated from reception (meeting point of meaningful and discovery learning) in which ideas are presented to students in a well-organized way, such as through detailed set of instructions to complete an experiment. Ever recalled why you are so nervous, yet very excited in doing experiments? It is because of th

LESSON 5: STATE OF-THE-ART ET APPLICATION PRACTICES This lesson talks about the recent changes occurred in the area of pedagogical theory and practice of Educational Technology. Wherein, the trends and new levels of learning require the appropriate use of state-of-the art instruction with the use of IT, tapping the computer’s information and communication tools (such as, word processors, databases, spreadsheets, presentation software, email, Internet conferencing, etc.). Moreover, it also tackles the obstacles to IT pedagogical practice especially for educators living in developing or peasant economies. Wherein, objections are likely to be heard such as that the use of computer is time consuming and expensive. Along the danger of a technology-centered classroom with the fear that computer may soon replace teachers. Lastly, the systematic instructional planning process is presented in the lesson.

LESSON 4: BASIC CONCEPTS ON INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY IN INSTRUCTION There is a lingering issue on how educational technology is integrated in the teaching learning process. This is due to the fact that the mere use of the computers does not mean technology has already been integrated in instruction. Here are some external manifestations of technology integration into instruction: There's a change in the way classes are traditionally conducted. The quality of instruction is improved to a higher level in such a 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/ problem. The use of technology provides the opening of opportunities to respond to these instructional issues/ problem. SELF - HELP Create a grid to differentiate technology -
Lesson 3: Educational Technology in the Asia Pacific Region To provide confidence to educators that they are taking the right steps in adopting technology in education, it is good to know that during the last few years, progressive countries in the Asia Pacific region have formulated state policies and strategies to infuse technology in schools. DISCUSSION 1. How do Philippine schools compare with schools in progressive countries in the Asia Pacific Region? Philippine schools compare with schools in progressive countries in the Asia Pacific- Region because Philippine schools integrated already ICT most in the urban areas while in Asia Pacific Region can't easily integrate ICT due to pervasive strategies they are using. 2. The plan of the Department of Education is to supply computers to public elementary and high schools at a ratio of 1 school-1 computer. How adequate or inadequate do you find this plan considering that the public school system in the Philippi
Lesson 2: An overview: Educational Technology 2 Educational technology 2 is concerned with “Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning”. This focused on introducing, reinforcing, supplementing and extending the knowledge and skills to learners so that they can become exemplary users of educational technology.
