TECHNOLOGY IN T&L

To facilitate/enhance the learning process (beyond the four walls of your classroom)

Should be used as assistive (guide) tools not assertive (force).

Teaching + Technology = Teachnology

CONSIDERATIONS OF TECHNOLOGICAL INTEGRATION

Should be contextualised and authentic

Should focus on social interactions as the driving force of learning process

Should provide enough control and ownership of the tasks

BUT REMEMBER….

"Technology is just a tool. In terms

of getting the kids working

together and motivating them, the

teacher is the most important. And

good teachers, always use good

tools.

If they are inspired with the right tools, they will learn autonomously.
