What Is Technology Integration in Teaching and Learning?: Dhezerie Anne P. Posadas Bped Ii-2

Technology integration in teaching and learning involves using digital tools and cloud computing to help students apply technology skills to learning and problem solving. The curriculum should drive technology use rather than the reverse. There are two keys to effective integration: keeping students at the center of instruction, and viewing technology as a tool to enhance learning rather than shift the focus from teaching. Integrating technology is important because it can make learning more meaningful and engaging for students, who are accustomed to using technology outside the classroom. Studies show technology integration improves learning processes and outcomes when used to actively engage students in groups, with feedback, and connections to real-world problems.

1. What is technology integration in teaching and learning?

Technology integration is the use of technology tools in general content areas


in education in order to allow students to apply computer and technology skills
to learning and problem-solving. Generally speaking, the curriculum drives the use
of technology and not vice versa. Technology integration is the well-coordinated use of
digital devices and cloud computing as tools for problem-solving, deeper learning, and
understanding. Technology facilitates access to curriculum but is not the curriculum
itself. Teachers guide their students in using technology as a tool for accessing and
understanding educational content.

There are two keys to successfully integrating technology in the classroom. The
first lies in understanding the role of technology in the classroom. Keeping students —
not the technology — at the center of instruction is the second. Authentic and
meaningful technology integration is a relationship between the teacher, the student,
and the curriculum. Technology is the vehicle that makes it happen. Technology
integration in education doesn’t shift the focus from instruction. Instead, it enhances an
existing educational program by serving as a learning device.

2. Why is integrating technology important in teaching and learning?

Technology has the ability to enhance relationships between teachers and


students. When teachers effectively integrate technology into subject areas, teachers
grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach. Technology helps make teaching
and learning more meaningful and fun. There are countless reasons why technology is
a key aspect of learning in the schools. Whether we like it or not, technology is
everywhere; and in order for our students to survive in post-secondary education and
the business world, they must know technology. Students are engaging with technology
constantly outside of the classroom. Kids like to be interactive, and learning through
technology has now become a part of their lifestyle. Kids know technology better than
most adults. It has become the easiest way they learn, because it is such an integral
part of their life. Engaging with technology in the classroom has not only helped them
learn better, but they also acquire multi-tasking skills. At this day in age, they hardly
know how to learn without it. This knowledge is important, because they would be way
behind in the real world without it.
3. How effective is the integration of technology in teaching and learning
process?
Technology, when integrated into the curriculum, revolutionizes the learning
process. More and more studies show that technology integration in the curriculum
improves students' learning processes and outcomes. Teachers who recognize
computers as problem-solving tools change the way they teach.
Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching
basic computer skills and software programs in a separate computer class. Effective
tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows
deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key
components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction
and feedback, and connection to real-world experts."
Technology helps change the student/teacher roles and relationships: students
take responsibility for their learning outcomes, while teachers become guides and
facilitators. Technology lends itself as the multidimensional tool that assists that
process. For economically disadvantaged students, the school may be the only place
where they will have the opportunity to use a computer and integrate technology into
their learning
