TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING I

(An Introduction; Teaching and Learning with Technology)

Lesson Outcomes
1. Defined conceptually or operationally terms that are basic to the understanding of ICT.
2. Used the concepts and terms in communicating with peers for further understanding.

---------Quotation--------
“I think we need to be careful not to get too specific (example technology = computers) while at the same time not getting so broad that
our definition of technology includes everything from pencil and paper to lasers and computers. I’d like to see us define technology in a
manner that looks at electronic tools we use to enhance teaching and learning.” ------Sally, grade teacher from Joy Egbert (2009)
