Integrating Technology into teaching and
learning primarily focused on introducing, reinforcing, supplementing and extending the knowledge and skills to learners so that they can become exemplary users of educational technology. Introduction to Technology for Teaching and Learning
❖ Mainly directed to educators who want to upgrade or
enhance their skills in educational technology. ❖ It also aids learners to meet and adapt to rapid and continuing technological changes, particularly in the developing global information and communication technology (ICT) world. Learning What Exactly is Learning?
Learning is a broad concept and occurs across such
a variety of subjects that defining it concisely is not simple. However, the following are some definitions with consistent terminology. What Exactly is Learning?
○ Learning is “a relatively permanent change in someone’s
knowledge based on a person's experience “ (Mayer,2008). What Exactly is Learning?
○ Learning is “a persistent change in performance or
performance potentials that results from experience and interaction with the world” (Driscoll, 2005) ○ “Learning is an enduring change in behavior, or in the capacity to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice or other forms of experience” (Schunk, 2008) How Does Learning Typically Occur?
○ Direct Experience - The process of acquiring knowledge
and skills by fully and directly participating in the activity. It also refers to built-in opportunities for active engagement in a learning environment which “decisively shape individual understandings” (Ewell, 1997).
■ Example: Preparing a meal
How Does Learning Typically Occur?
○ Vicarious experience - Learning by observing another person
go through an experience.
■ Example: Your are tasked to watch/observe a video of
teacher who doing a craft about how to make a vase with the use of disposable spoons. How Does Learning Typically Occur?
○ Instructional Presentation - Learning through a presentation,
reading, etc. These presentations give specific directions or order.
■ Example: A teacher giving an instruction to the students
about the given activity. ➢ There are some factors that need to be considered before selecting the type of learning experience. This includes the learner, the learning environment, and the content that is to be learned. ➢ Learners vary greatly in their ability to understand a learning experience whether it is derived from direct, vicarious, or instructional presentation types of experiences. Developmental level, learning styles, gender, ethnicity, intelligence, etc., all impact the degree to which a learners acquire from a specific type of learning experience. Why is the Study of Learning Important?
○ Increased effectiveness. The study of learning helps
to identify how to increase the encoding, retention, depth of understanding, and recall of needed information or skills. Why is the Study of Learning Important?
○ Increased efficiency. By identifying ways to organize
and deliver learning experiences in a manner that helps students acquire the information or skills in a more rapid and timely manner. Why is the Study of Learning Important?
○ Increased transfer. Through the study of learning, we
may identify how to better generalize what is learned so it can be used in different but related contexts or areas. Why is the Study of Learning Important?
○ Increased appeal. Appeal is strongly associated with
learner’s attitudes toward the information and their motivation for investing effort. Technology

Educational technology uses application tools to
accomplish the overall goal of constructing and delivering optimal learning experiences. It requires both the ability to plan and select the optimal application tools, as well as the knowledge and skills to implement and evaluate their effectiveness. Educational Technology
As pointed out by Jonassen, Howland, Marra, and
Crismond (2008), “If technologies are used to foster meaningful learning, then they will not be used as delivery vehicles. Rather, technologies should be used as engagers and facilitators of learning. Educational Technology -Application Tools (Industries)

○ Plan, Implement, Evaluate (PIE) : A Reliable
Model to Impact Learning PIE METHOD
○ The Study of learning is vital for both those who will
be learning and those who will be guiding the learning of others, because specific actions, strategies, and technologies can have an impact on the quantity and quality of what is learned. By understanding learning, we can better develop strategic learning experiences. PIE METHOD
○ The Planning required that ensures instructions is
developed and sequenced in a manner to effectively promote learning. ○ Implementing the instruction. ○ Evaluating the instruction, including assessing the student’s learning. PIE METHOD
○ In planning, the focus is on what learners are to
learn, as well as when, why and how. The result is an outline; lesson plan of the learning experience that will bring about desired objectives. PIE METHOD
○ Implementing focuses on putting the plan into action
based on what situational constraints exist, utilizing selected instructional materials and learning activities. PIE METHOD
○ The emphasis on evaluation is on the assessment of
the effectiveness of the tools and materials. This is a time to reflect on what was accomplished or attained, to suggest some adjustments and changes of plan, and to complete suggested revisions and fix-ups. PIE METHOD
○ The PIE model helps us to systematically structure
our approach to developing meaningful learning and experiences. PIE METHOD PIE METHOD PIE METHOD PIE METHOD ○ Learning is defined as a change, or potential to change one’s level of skill or knowledge and it is of central concern for both students and teachers. ○ Facilitating learning requires an active knowledge of a variety of tools and techniques plus an understanding of how, when, and why they should be appropriately used. ○ Educational Technology includes tangible tools ( high-tech hardware such as computers, and instructional media as well as other technologies (methods, techniques and activities) for planning, implementing, and evaluating effective learning experiences. ○ The PIE model guides and helps us to systematically structure our approach to developing effective as well as meaningful learning and experiences.
