TTL Module 1
Activity 1. Define the following basic concepts in ICT education.
1. Technology

 Is a science or knowledge put into practical use to solve problems or invent

useful tools.

2. Techne

 Derived from the greek term meaning art or craft

3. Educational Technology

 is "a complex, integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas, devices,

and organization for analyzing problems and devising, implementing, evaluating,

and managing solutions to those problems, involved in all aspects of human

learning

4. Instructional Technology

 is a systematic way of designing, carrying out, and evaluating the total process of

learning and teaching in terms of specific objectives


5. Technology Integration

 means using learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement and

extend skills

Activity 2. Using the Venn Diagram below, compare and contrast technology from

technology in education

Is not limited to
making use of
Focuses on the use
Is the incorporate of computers,
technology to make
of information systemlearning and
IT into the realm imparting of education
of classroom easier in all possible
way but also a field of
study.
Activity 3: Based on your experiences, what is the role of educational technology in the
flexible learning modality (online/modular/blended) in education?
 Technology provides students with easy to access information, accelerated
learning, and fun opportunity to practice what they learn. It enable students to
explore new subject and deepen their understanding of difficult concepts.
Activity 4: Create your own policy proposal in relation to the use of ICT in the
classroom.
Focus Question: Problems of Student in Using ICT tools and the Solution could be
applied to solve it.

Problem Statement:
Using ICT tools can give Students easy access to information and deepen their
understanding. They can learn new subjects and widen their knowledge. But despite of
these there are Problems that Students encounter in Using ICT tools.
I. Unstable Internet Connection
One of the biggest problems faced by Students is Unstable Internet Connection.
Without Internet Access at home is their inability to complete their homework’s, Do their
research and sending document related in subjects. It can also affect the Students
academically falling behind. ([Link]
II. Lack of Time Management
When Students don’t keep up with studies, you’re less able to understand or
engage with new material, so your lack of time management can create a bad cycle for
your academic performance. ([Link]
III. Limited Accessibility
Limited Accessibility can affect the academic of the Students. For example in
Online Class or in Modular if the Student don’t have smartphone how can he/she
access in Google Meet to attend Class or to download Module.

Solutions:
I. Unstable Internet Connection
For the Students that have Unstable Internet Connection the teacher should use
pre-recorded content instead of live class session. Use text chat to start lessons and set
assignment. Limit video in live class sessions until you know the technology limitations
of students in the class.
II. Lack of Time Management
Give the Students information about what new materials will the teacher use to
avoid wasting time. Some tips may help them in how to use the new material that the
teacher will use.
III. Limited Accessibility
For the Student that have limited accessibility in class like smartphones the
Teacher can give them hard copy of their module so that they can submit their outputs.

Common questions

Solutions include distributing hard copies of learning materials to students without digital access, ensuring that essential content is accessible offline, and incorporating low-tech solutions like SMS for communications . Additionally, schools can partner with local organizations to provide devices or internet access points, or implement community Wi-Fi areas. These measures strive to create an equitable learning environment where all students have the opportunity to succeed despite accessibility challenges.

Technology integration in education involves a strategic incorporation of technology throughout the teaching and learning processes to enhance learning outcomes, including planning, facilitating, and assessing educational contexts. It is a comprehensive approach that includes reinforcement and extension of skills beyond traditional methods . Using technology merely as a tool lacks this strategic depth, often focusing on isolated applications rather than integrated curriculum development and pedagogical transformation.

Technology integration involves using learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement, and extend skills, making learning more accessible and engaging through various tools . On the other hand, instructional technology is a systematic process for designing, implementing, and evaluating the entire learning process, focusing specifically on using computers and information systems to achieve educational goals . Together, they complement each other by creating a holistic approach to modern education.

Teachers can adapt by providing alternatives like hard copies of modules for students lacking digital resources . They can use text-based communications and assignments which require minimal technology access or implement blended learning strategies that combine physical media with digital tools. These approaches ensure that all students, regardless of resource availability, can effectively participate and benefit from the educational process.

Students encounter challenges like unstable internet connection, lack of time management, and limited accessibility when using ICT tools . Solutions include providing pre-recorded content to bypass live-session connectivity issues, offering flexibility in the use of text over video, advising on time management, and ensuring offline access through hard copies of learning materials . These solutions aim to mitigate technological disparities among students and enhance their learning experience.

Educational technology plays a crucial role in flexible learning modalities by providing easy access to information, supporting accelerated learning, and offering interactive ways to deepen understanding of complex concepts . It allows students to explore new subjects at their own pace, thereby enriching their learning experiences and making education more adaptable to individual needs.

As a tool, technology in education is used to make learning and teaching more efficient and engaging through practical applications of technological resources. As a field of study, it involves analyzing, developing, and evaluating technological applications to address educational challenges systematically and innovatively . The former focuses on immediate application, while the latter emphasizes theoretical understanding and research to improve educational outcomes.

'Techne,' meaning art or craft in Greek, underlies the concept of skillful creation and application of tools, which is essential in education technology. This notion highlights how technology in education involves creativity and craftsmanship in developing tools and methods to enhance teaching and learning processes . Understanding 'techne' helps educators appreciate the artistry in designing educational technologies that address specific learning challenges while fostering engaging experiences.

Poor time management can create a negative feedback loop where students are unable to engage effectively with new material, leading to disengagement and poor academic performance . Interventions include planning ahead by informing students of upcoming materials, providing time management strategies, and using structured timelines to help students develop the discipline required to stay on top of their studies . These measures can improve students' ability to manage workloads and engage with content meaningfully.

Unstable internet connections can significantly hinder students' ability to complete assignments, participate in online classes, and access resources, ultimately affecting academic performance . To overcome this, educators can use pre-recorded materials and assignments that students can access asynchronously, text-based instructions to minimize data usage, and flexible deadlines to accommodate connectivity issues . These strategies ensure students remain engaged despite technological limitations.
