AN OVERVIEW: ET2
ET2 is concerned with “integrating technology into Teaching and Learning.” Specifically this is focus on introducing, reinforcing, supplementing and extending the knowledge and skills to the learner so that they can become exemplary users of educational technology.
ET2 will involve a deeper understanding of the computer as well as hands-on application of computer skills. But this is NOT to say that the goal of the course is to promote computer skills, rather, the course is primarily directed at enhancing teaching-learning through TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION.
ET2 aim to infuse technology in the student-teacher training, helping them to adapt and meet rapid and continuing technological changes, particularly in the thriving global information and communication technology (ICT) environment.
OBJECTIVES: To provide education in the use of
technology in instruction by providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners.
To impart learning experiences in instructional technology supported instructional planning
To acquaint students on information technology or IT-related learning theories with the computer as a tutor
To learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources
To engage learners of practical technology integration issues including managing IT classrooms, use of the internet for learning, cooperative learning through ICT.
To inculcate higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and creativity among students while providing them knowledge of IT-related learning theories.
REFLECTION: 10 POINTS EACH Many college students are presently
required to take computer course including word processing (MS office, Excel, PowerPoint) How do you think this will help application of skills needed in ET2?
For those who have done internet surfing/searching/reading, what do the websites offer users?
Do you think there are enough websites for educational purposes? Do you think there are many users of educational websites?

SINGAPORE MASTERPLAN FOR IT IN EDUCATIONhttp://www.moe.edu.sg/iteducation/masterplan/welcome.htm The masterplan has 4 key dimensions:1. Curriculum and assessment: A balance between acquisition of factual
knowledge and mastery of concepts and skills
Students in more active and independent learning
Assessment to measure abilities in applying information, thinking and communicating
2. Learning resourcesDevelopment of a wide range of
educational software for instructionUse of relevant internet resources for
teaching and learningConvenient and timely procurement of
software materials
3. Teacher developmentTraining on purposeful use of IT for
teachingEquipping each trainee teacher with core
skills in teaching with ITTie-ups with institutions of higher learning
and industry partners.
4. Physical and technological infrastructure
Pupil computer ratio 2:1Access to IT in all learning areas in the
schoolSchool-wide network, and school linkages
through wide area network (WAN), eventually connected to Singapore ONE (broadband access service for high-speedy delivery of multimedia services on island-wide basis.
HONGKONG EDUCATION PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTShttp://www.info.gov.hk/emb/eng/prog_high/schoolprog.htmlGovernment aims to raise the quality of school
education by promoting the use of IT in teaching and learning. The IT initiatives are:
On average, 40 computers for each primary school and 82 computers for each secondary schools
About 85,000 IT training places for teachers at four levels
Technical support for all schoolsAn information education resource center for
all schools and teachers
An IT coordinator for each 250 schools which should have sound IT plans
Computer rooms for use by students after normal school hours
An IT pilot scheme to provide schools with additional resources
Review of school curriculum to incorporate IT elements
Development of appropriate software in collaboration with government, the private sector, tertiary institutions and schools
Exploring the feasibility of setting up an education-specific intranet
DISCUSSION: 5 POINTS EACH How do Philippine schools compare with other
schools in progressive countries in the Asia Pacific Regions?
The Plan of DEPeD is to supply computers to public elementary and high schools at a ratio of 1 school to 1 computer. How adequate or inadequate do you find this plan considering that the public school system in the Philippines has an average of 1,000 students in each school.
What can be proposed so that the Philippines can cope up with its neighbors on IT education?
Filipinos, including students, are hooked up on cellphone texting. Is this enough for information skills literacy for our citizens and youths? Mentioned the benefits and disadvantages of our texting culture
